    • Power generation
      As the provider of energy, it is of course absolutely essential that power generation plants are totally reliable. Consequently, it is also essential that conveyor belts used within power plants are as equally reliable. Out of necessity, disruption caused by the need to repair and replace belts has to be kept to an absolute minimum. The only way to achieve this objective is to fit top quality belting that has a proven track record for being the most durable and longest lasting available. Safety and the environment are also of paramount importance in the energy industry. Fire, the risk of explosion, dust emissions, right through to the potentially harmful chemicals used to manufacture the belts are all very serious considerations. Fortunately at Dunlop we engineer and manufacture a range of hi-performance belting that meets every possible requirement.
    • Agriculture
      Safety, hygiene, livestock care and comfort, highly variable weather conditions and cost efficiency are just some of the primary considerations in the world of agricultural. And with steep transportation angles or special agricultural equipment applications you have a very challenging environment!
    • Quarry
      The constant impact of heavy, broken and sharp materials, often from great heights, can lead to an uneconomic belt-life. The Dunlop solution has been to develop a range of quarry conveyor belts with carcasses and cover layers that provide optimum durability and wear resistance. Dunlop belts used in the quarry industry have very high tear resistance and covers that are exceptionally resistant to wear caused by abrasion.
    • Cement
      Because of the potentially huge costs of lost production due to belt failure, we have developed conveyor belts that provide the best possible assurance of reliability and long operational life. Our heat resistant belts are designed for heavy-duty service conditions and are capable of handling temperatures that can peak at up to 400° C.
    • Recycling
      The environment has certainly become of the world’s biggest issues in recent years. With heavy objects falling from height; highly abrasive coarse bulk materials; a wide variety of chemicals and oily products; impact from heavy, broken and razor-sharp materials, all of which are often need to be conveyed at steep angles, it is hard to imagine any industry that can place such extreme demands on its conveyor belts.
    • Chemicals
      Safety, particularly fire hazards, the abrasive nature of coarse bulk materials, hot, chemical and oil based products are amongst the many and varied demands placed on conveyor belts in the chemical and fertilizer industry. Long-term durability and reliability have a major influence on the cost effectiveness of the operation.
    • Steel
      The worldwide Fenner Dunlop Group has more than 40 years of experience in producing top quality steel cord belting. Here in Holland we combine that experience with the latest, most technologically advanced steel cord manufacturing line in the world. This combination is used to produce steel cord belts that provide outstanding reliability and durability and exceed just about every international standard imaginable.
    • Farming
      The demands of the agricultural and farming industry are many and varied. Reliability and the longest possible working lifetime combined with safety and livestock hygiene & comfort are among the many considerations when selecting rubber products. Being located in the Netherlands has meant that throughout our history, agriculture and farming have always been huge influences on the type and range of products that we manufacture. This unique understanding has led to the development of a range of rubber conveyor belts, matting and sheeting ideally suited to a multitude of applications.
    • Sugar & Food
      In the sugar and food industry there are the often severe demands such as abrasion created by the transportation of coarse materials and the damaging effects of oily and greasy products. There are also important safety factors such as fire and combustion hazards to consider, steep inclined transportation and, of course, durability and reliability.
    • Fertilizers
      Conveyor belts used in the chemical and fertilizer industry have to carry a wide range of chemicals and other materials such as oil that can be very damaging to rubber. There are also other factors such as abrasive wear, the effects of ozone, high temperatures and important safety considerations such as the ability to resist fire. Operational cost-effectiveness depends on the durability and reliability of the conveyor belts being used within the production process.
    • Transshipment
      The financial consequences of avoidable delays due to belt failure when transshipping bulk goods in national and international ports and at major end user installations can be extremely damaging. Transshipment needs to be capable of safely handling high volumes at the fastest possible speeds.
    • General
      Increasingly in recent years, recycling has grown into one of the largest and most environmentally sensitive industries in the world. The conveying of waste presents a seemingly endless supply of materials and substances that damage and destroy rubber conveyor belts. The often highly combustible nature of household waste in particular also means that having belts with first-class fire resistant properties is extremely important.
    • Wood
      The huge damage that can be caused by tree trunks falling onto a conveyor belt hardly needs further explanation. But later stages of the timber processing and paper production also impose often very extreme demands on conveyor belts too.
    • Mining
      Because safety is of paramount importance, Dunlop belts designed for use within underground mines are fire resistant and approved and accredited to the appropriate national and international standards. Our Research & Development department works closely with government agencies and national and local mining organisations. Dunlop provides a range of high quality mining conveyor belts that have outstanding resistance to both abrasion and cutting and designed for use in every phase of the production process – from the mine face and the transportation to the processing location through to the final mixing, blending and stocking.
