The load point plays a crucial role in ensuring material handling efficiency by providing a seal that effectively prevents material spillage and dust control. One essential component for achieving this is skirting rubber, which is a standard feature in every conveyor application, especially critical at material loading points. Skirting rubber is a specialized rubber sheet strategically employed as a sealing strip at loading, transfer, and discharge points within conveyor systems.
The primary function of skirting rubber is to direct material onto the conveyor belt while effectively reducing spillage. By creating a tight seal between the conveyor belt and the loading point, skirting rubber helps maintain a clean and safe working environment, minimizes product loss, and promotes optimal conveyor performance during material transfer.
