The origins of the conveyor belt can be traced back to the late 18th century. The earliest known examples were made from leather and were used to transport products over short distances. However, it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that the conveyor belt truly found its place in industry. In the early 1900s, Henry Ford revolutionized the automotive industry by employing conveyor belts in assembly lines, dramatically increasing efficiency and reducing production times. This innovation marked a turning point, as businesses began to realize the potential of conveyor systems.

On the other hand, flat belts feature a simple flat design without grooves, allowing them to run on flat pulleys. These belts are generally made from leather, rubber, or synthetic materials, depending on the application. Their flat profile enables them to be used in a variety of setups, including multiple pulley arrangements, where they can transmit power across greater distances.

In light of this, it’s advisable to consult your vehicle’s owner manual for the recommended replacement interval for the timing belt and ensure that only high-quality OEM parts are used during service. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing belt can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the life of your engine.
