Abstract
This paper reports the results from the modelling of electrical resistance of polyester reinforced nonwoven fabrics used for light conveyor belts having conductive PA6 fibres and the same value of fabric volume fraction. The modelling was carried out on the basis of nonwoven construction parameters (the content of conductive fibres in nonwoven layers, fabric thickness), a two-probe method of electrical resistance measurement using flat electrodes and common ohmmeter, and a deterministic modelling method, e.g. statistical factor analysis. The results show very good agreement between the experimental and predicted values of conveyor belts’ electrical resistance. The proposed model provides guidelines for the engineering of conveyor belts in order to fit the prescribed electrical resistance.
