Solutions
Twaron® for more energy-efficient conveyor belts
Twaron®-reinforced conveyor belts are designed to optimize energy use and operational efficiency. Different types of conveyor belts benefit from the unique properties of aramid, including enhanced durability, reduced weight, and increased resistance to impact and wear.
Long-distance conveyor belts
In mining operations with extensive transportation needs, Twaron® reinforcement enables reduced energy use thanks to its lightweight composition, significantly lowering operational costs. This extended durability also supports productivity and contributes to sustainability goals, providing a measurable impact on the Total cost of ownership.
Crusher conveyor belts
For high-impact applications, such as those where conveyor belts handle heavy or sharp materials, Twaron®-reinforced belts deliver essential tear and puncture resistance. This robustness minimizes downtime and maintenance, contributing to higher operational efficiency and extended belt life.

Benefits of Twaron®-reinforced conveyor belts
Aramid reinforcement makes conveyor belts lighter, more flexible, and stronger, leading to improved handling and increased output when compared to steel. Twaron®-reinforced belts not only require less maintenance, which means less downtime, but also support more efficient material transport, driving sustainable performance across mining operations.
Lightweight
Maximize strength-to-weight performance compared to steel, reducing energy consumption and cutting maintenance needs.
Superior stiffness
Enhance transport stability and minimize elongation, helping to lower both installation and maintenance costs.
Reliable
Fight corrosion, improve fire resistance, and boost flexibility, ensuring longer belt lifespan.
Sustainable
Reduce carbon emissions throughout the belt’s lifecycle, supporting sustainability without compromising performance.
Sustainability
Proven economic and environmental savings
Using Twaron® para-aramid to reinforce conveyor belts can significantly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to steel-cord alternatives.
Our TÜV-certified Customer Benefit Model, developed with Delft University of Technology, provides a clear, data-backed calculation of these savings. Twaron®’s lightweight, durable design improves transport efficiency, reduces maintenance, and lowers the carbon footprint throughout the belt’s lifetime.
