One such innovation is the conveyor belt. Bulk material handling conveyor belts are normally used in bulk holding industries. They handle volumes of bulky material in the mining industry such as ores, minerals, stone and coal.
Conveyor belts are also used in underground mining and should be fire resistant in the event that underground fires occur.

Most minerals being mined through open cast mining as raw materials tend to be bulky and require conveyor belts to handle them. In mineral production, the primary stage involves a lot of impact. So, in order to prevent tearing or ripping from heavy impacts due to less resistant materials, conveyor belts of high resistance need to be used.
