In the industrial belt industry, PVC conveyor belts and nylon polyester conveyor belt both belong to the flat belt series. Still, there are big differences between the two. Nylon polyester conveyor belt were originally designed for light mechanical transmission, but they are also used as conveyor belts. PVC is designed to be used as a conveyor belt.
Many people need help to tell the difference between nylon sheet-based belts and PVC conveyor belts. Let’s distinguish them below.

Different materials
PVC conveyor belts are mainly made of PVC materials and polyester cloth or blended fabrics; nylon sheet-based belts are mainly made of nylon and rubber materials. 02 Different tensile layers

Different tensile layers
The tensile layer of PVC is the cloth layer, and the main material is polyester; the main tensile layer material of the sheet-based belt is nylon sheet-based, which can be seen from its name. 03 Different uses

Different uses
PVC conveyor belts are mainly used for transportation, belong to conveyor belts, and cannot be used as transmission belts; sheet-based belts are mainly used for power transmission, belong to transmission belts, and can be used as conveyor belts.

So basically, PVC belongs to the category of conveyor belts, and its main function is to transport materials from point A to point B. The base belt belongs to the category of transmission belts, and its main function is power transmission. The most important thing is that “transmission belts can be used as conveyor belts, but conveyor belts cannot be used as transmission belts.
