Skirting rubber is mainly used in the mining industry. It runs along the length of a conveyor belt and attaches to the edge as a side skirt.
It’s manufactured in the form of soft sheets and strips and provides an effective way of reducing spillage of materials and dust over the sides of a conveyor system.
Skirting rubber is particularly effective in busy loading areas where dust and spillage is a constant problem. The soft rubber design wears preferentially to the belt covers and flexes out of the way to minimise belt wear.
We use STD 60 Duro for our skirting rubber – a general-purpose grade, natural rubber suitable for many quarrying and mining applications.
Recycled rubber of higher hardness can also be used but is limited to areas where belts suffer high damage and wear. This option is available in normal grade (15-metre rolls) and premium grade (30-metre rolls).
Standard thicknesses: 6, 10, 12, 16 and 20mm
Widths: 80 – 1200mm (can be cut to any width)
Roll length: 30m
