RBX Skirting Rubber
Skirting rubber is common to every conveyor application and paramount in the prevention of spillage at material loading points. It is a specifically designed rubber sheet used as sealing strip on conveyor system loading, transfer and discharge points. Skirting rubber is used to direct material onto the conveyor belt and reduce spillage. We stock an extensive range of skirting rubber ensuring fast delivery to site and customer peace of mind. At Screen spares we stock a full range of skirting rubber in a variety of different rubber compounds, widths and thicknesses..
Construction & Material
Made from high-tensile, natural or synthetic rubber compounds.
Formulated to withstand abrasion, impact, and weathering.
Available in various thicknesses (6 mm to 25 mm) and widths to suit different conveyors.
Can be supplied in flat, beveled, or chamfered edge profiles for optimal sealing performance.
Optionally reinforced with fabric layers for added tear resistance.
Types Of Skirting Rubber
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
|
Standard Black Skirting Rubber |
General-purpose; used in most applications |
|
Soft Skirting Rubber (50-60 Shore A) |
More flexible; gentle on belt; for light-duty materials |
|
Hard Skirting Rubber (70-75 Shore A) |
Tougher; longer wear life; for heavy materials and high impact |
|
Oil-Resistant Skirting Rubber |
For use with oily or greasy materials |
|
Heat-Resistant Skirting Rubber |
Suitable for hot materials (cement, coal, etc.) |
|
Fire-Resistant Skirting Rubber |
For use in coal handling and flammable environments |
|
Food-Grade White Rubber |
Non-toxic rubber for food and pharma materials |
|
Polyurethane Skirting (PU) |
Extremely wear-resistant; high-performance alternative to rubber |
|
Dual Seal Skirting |
Combines soft sealing edge + hard base for performance and longer life |
Special Grades Available
- Food-grade white rubber – For hygiene-critical applications
- Flame-retardant rubber – For coal and thermal plants
- Anti-static skirting – For explosive environments
- Chamfered edge – For better belt sealing
- Notched skirting – For flexibility in curves or transitions
Key Features
