FR / FRAS Grade

Built for Safety AND Designed to Stop Fire Spread.

The Shriram Beltings Fire Resistant (FR) Rubber Conveyor Belt is specifically engineered for industries where fire safety is critical. In environments such as underground mines, coal handling plants, tunnels, power stations, and processing facilities, even a small spark can lead to serious operational and safety risks. Our Fire Resistant Conveyor Belts are designed to minimize these hazards by preventing flame propagation and reducing the risk of fire spreading through the conveyor system.

Unlike standard conveyor belts, which may continue burning once exposed to ignition sources, Shriram Fire Resistant Belts are manufactured using specially formulated flame-retardant rubber compounds that self-extinguish when the flame source is removed. Combined with anti-static properties and excellent mechanical strength, these belts provide an added layer of protection in hazardous working environments.


What is a Fire Resistant Conveyor Belt?

A Fire Resistant Conveyor Belt is designed to resist ignition, limit flame spread, and safely dissipate static electricity generated during conveyor operation. These belts are commonly used in industries handling combustible materials such as coal, coke, wood chips, biomass, chemicals, and other fire-prone products.

The primary purpose of an FR Conveyor Belt is not to transport hot materials, but to enhance operational safety by preventing conveyor fires from spreading throughout the facility.

Key Features & Benefits

Flame Retardant Construction

Manufactured using specially developed fire-resistant rubber compounds that help prevent ignition and restrict flame propagation across the conveyor belt surface.

Self-Extinguishing Properties

If exposed to an open flame, the belt is designed to self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed, helping minimize fire risks within the conveyor system.

Anti-Static Protection

Engineered with conductive properties that safely dissipate static electricity, reducing the possibility of sparks in combustible dust environments.

High Wear Resistance

Combines fire safety with excellent abrasion resistance, ensuring reliable performance and long service life in demanding industrial applications.

Friction-Tested Safety

Designed to withstand friction generated by belt slippage and mechanical contact, helping reduce the risk of ignition under abnormal operating conditions.

Reliable All-Weather Performance

Maintains flexibility, strength, and safety performance across a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +50°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fire resistant (FR) conveyor belt?

An FR belt has a cover compound that does not keep burning once the flame source is removed. This limits damage if a fire starts on the conveyor.

Where should FR belts be used?

In coal handling plants, bunker feeding and tripper conveyors, closed galleries of thermal power plants and underground conveying.

Is an FR belt also heat resistant?

No, fire resistance and heat resistance are different properties. For hot material choose a heat resistant grade; for fire risk choose FR.

What is an FRAS conveyor belt?

FRAS means Fire Resistant Anti-Static. Our FR belts use a flame-retardant cover that stops burning once the flame is removed, and anti-static properties that safely dissipate static charge in dusty areas.

Are fire resistant, fire retardant and flame resistant conveyor belts the same?

These words are used for the same type of belt: a belt whose rubber cover restricts flame spread and self-extinguishes when the ignition source is removed. Always check the standard the belt is made to.

Which standards do your fire resistant belts follow?

Our FR conveyor belts are made to IS 1891 Part V and CAN/CSA-M422-M87, for an operating temperature of about -30°C to +50°C.
