Mineplast Fire Resistant belting has a proven track record of superior service in coal mining and other similar applications where the high, continuous output depends largely on the performance and reliability of the belt. Mineplast Fire Resistant, designed primarily for use in underground and other potentially hazardous situations, meets and in many cases, exceeds the fire-resistance and anti-static requirements of all worldwide safety standards. Through its PVC compounds, customizable cover thickness and its solid woven carcass, making the belt ideal for conveying coal, potash, phosphate, fertilizer, clay, gypsum and salt. It is also suited for use in the timber industry.
We manufacture the most extensive range of products comprising Type-3 to Type-6 that are the most suitable for meeting Indian requirements and Type-3 to Type-12 that are popular in markets abroad.
Technical Information
The table shows nominal figures for minimum warp & weft breaking strengths, belt thickness & weight for a selection of belt types, based on 1mm x 1mm PVC covers on either side. For every additional 1mm PVC, add 1.25kg/sq.mtr for PVC covers. Nominal values with 1+1 PVC covers.
We provide several value-added products in our sales mix and count several demanding multinationals as clients.
Product Features
All-synthetic high tenacity centre warp yarns, for strength and minimum elongation.
All-synthetic pile warp yarns, to protect against impact damage, improve adhesion and give superb fastener bedding.
Composite weft yarn, to give optimum transverse rigidity and superb fastener holding.
Woven selvedge to reduce edge-ware and improve belt life.
Complete vacuum impregnation and consolidation of PVC compound through solid woven fabric, to improve tear strength and to reduce ingress of moisture.
Special PVC cover, to reduce abrasion and improve carrying capacity through the life of the belt.
We deploy wide-ranging engineering capabilities to complete manufacturing of products on schedule realizing that our products drive our customer's business ahead.

The Advantages of Mineplast
Complete in-house manufacturing - from yarn preparation, fabric weaving, compound mixing to belt finishing - to ensure total process and quality control at each step of manufacturing activity. Each belting roll is tested for physical, fire retardant and anti static properties - one of the few manufacturers who can claim to do 100% tests on all belts. A Dun and Bradstreet registered company with D-U-N-N-S number 86-225-1696. One of the best conveyor belting test facilities where a fully equipped test laboratory conducts test of all incoming yarns and chemicals, as well as on finished product, including tests for flame, static conductivity drum-friction, limited oxygen index, etc. In addition, physical tests like tensile strength, elongation, tear, adhesion, fastener holding, trough ability etc. are also conducted as routine tests. ICL is an ISO 9001 certified company for its entire operation, including manufacturing, purchasing and marketing.
In the field of producing solid woven fire-retardant anti-static PVC Conveyor Belting for underground mining we are India's largest listed company having about 40% domestic market share.
