--- A Legacy of Excellence in Rubber Manufacturing ---
• The History and Growth of Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber:
Founded in 1956 as Kaifeng Rubber Factory, Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber (Group) Co., Ltd. has evolved into a national large-scale rubber product manufacturing enterprise and a key player in China’s industrial infrastructure. Merged into Henan Energy Group Co., Ltd. in 2006—a Fortune 500 enterprise—the company now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, leveraging the group’s strategic resources and global reach. Over its 67-year journey, the company has grown from a local factory to a leading producer with an annual production capacity of 650 million yuan, 428 employees, and over 80 professional technical personnel. Its 268-mu industrial park in Kaifeng New District is equipped with advanced R&D centers, including a provincial-level scientific research center and Henan Province Key Laboratory, enabling cutting-edge innovation. The company’s legacy is not only reflected in its scale but also in its consistent delivery of high-performance conveyor belts used across coal, mining, metallurgy, and power industries. One notable example includes a long-term contract with a major Chinese coal mining group in Shanxi Province, where Iron Tower Rubber supplied over 12 kilometers of high-strength steel cord conveyor belts for underground transportation systems. These belts have operated continuously under extreme conditions—high tension, abrasive materials, and temperatures exceeding 60°C—for more than five years with zero major failures, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs. This real-world success underscores the company’s ability to deliver durable, reliable solutions that meet the most demanding industrial standards.

• Overview of Conveyor Belt Types and Features:
Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber offers a comprehensive portfolio of conveyor belts tailored to diverse industrial needs. Among its flagship products are Steel Cord Conveyor Belts, which feature longitudinal steel cords embedded in core rubber, providing exceptional tensile strength (up to 5400 N/mm), minimal elongation, and outstanding fatigue resistance—ideal for long-distance, high-speed operations in mining and cement plants. The company also excels in flame-retardant solutions, such as PVG and PVC Solid Woven Conveyor Belts, which comply with MT/T914-2019 standards and are widely used in underground coal mines. A standout innovation is the Kevlar Conveyor Belt, engineered with aramid fibers for lightweight, high-impact resistance, and superior heat tolerance. In a recent project with a port terminal in Qingdao, the company delivered 8 km of Kevlar-based belts for handling wet coal and iron ore. These belts demonstrated a 30% reduction in energy consumption due to low rolling resistance and maintained structural integrity even after repeated exposure to sharp debris and high humidity. Additionally, the company’s UPE Anti-Adhesion Conveyor Belts have revolutionized material handling in wet environments—such as clay ore transport at a Jiangsu-based mining facility—where traditional belts suffered from severe adhesion. After switching to Iron Tower’s UPE-coated belts, the client reported a 90% reduction in cleaning time and a 40% increase in throughput. These real-world applications highlight the company’s ability to combine advanced materials science with practical engineering to solve complex operational challenges.
• Application Fields and Benefits of Quality Conveyor Belts:
The versatility of Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber’s conveyor belts is evident across multiple sectors. In the electric power industry, the company’s heat-resistant and wear-resistant belts are used in thermal power plants to transport coal and ash under extreme temperatures, ensuring uninterrupted operation. For instance, a 600 MW power plant in Henan Province replaced its aging conveyor system with Iron Tower’s T3 heat-resistant belts (capable of withstanding up to 180°C), resulting in a 50% extension of belt life and a 25% decrease in unplanned outages. In the metallurgy sector, the company’s anti-tear induction coil belts have been deployed in steel mills to prevent catastrophic belt tears during high-speed iron ore conveyance. One such installation at a Hebei steel plant detected and halted a developing tear within seconds, avoiding a $200,000 repair and weeks of downtime. Similarly, the self-cleaning conveyor belts have proven invaluable in cement plants, where fine dust and sticky materials often clog standard belts. A case study from a Zhejiang cement factory showed that after adopting Iron Tower’s self-cleaning belts, the frequency of belt cleaning dropped from daily to once every two weeks, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. These examples illustrate how the company’s product innovations directly translate into tangible operational benefits—higher uptime, lower maintenance, improved safety, and reduced environmental impact—making it a preferred partner for industrial leaders across China and beyond.
--- Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction ---
• Quality Certifications and Standards:
Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber’s unwavering commitment to quality is validated by a robust suite of international and national certifications. The company holds ISO9001 (Quality Management), ISO14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) certifications, demonstrating its systematic approach to operational excellence and sustainability. Furthermore, its conveyor belts are certified with Mine Product Safety Marks (MA), a critical requirement for use in hazardous environments like coal mines. The company’s compliance with GB/T9770-2013, GB/T7984-2013, and MT/T914-2019 standards ensures that every product meets or exceeds national benchmarks. In a landmark achievement, Iron Tower Rubber was recognized as a “Henan Province High-quality Product” and awarded the “Famous Trademark of Henan Province” for its Iron Tower brand, reflecting both market trust and regulatory approval. A compelling example of this commitment comes from a joint audit conducted by a European mining client in 2022. The client evaluated 12 conveyor belt suppliers globally and selected Kaifeng Iron Tower Rubber based on its documented quality control processes, test data transparency, and consistent performance records. The supplier’s Mooney Viscometer Vulcanizer and SYD-2651 Automatic Kinematic Viscosity Tester enabled precise monitoring of raw material consistency, ensuring uniform vulcanization and optimal mechanical properties. As a result, the client reported a 99.8% defect-free rate over 18 months of continuous operation. This level of reliability, backed by rigorous testing and certification, solidifies the company’s reputation as a quality-driven leader in the global conveyor belt market.
