From “Product Export” to “Service Export”: QBF rubber Maintenance Team Completes Sidewall Conveyor Belt Inspections in Russia

QBF rubber’s after-sales service team recently traveled to Russia to conduct specialized inspections and preventive maintenance for steep-angle sidewall conveyor belt systems at major steel plants. This initiative reflects QBF rubber’s strategic shift from product export to service export, upgrading our overseas service model from reactive repair to proactive, preventive maintenance.

Under harsh steelmaking conditions, steep-angle sidewall conveyor belts are vital for raw material handling, and their reliability directly affects production uptime. Our senior engineers performed comprehensive checks on belt rigidity, splice strength, skirt board integrity, cleat wear, cover thickness, pulley lagging, idler resistance, take-up devices, and other conveyor components.

With years of experience in bulk material conveying for the steel industry, QBF rubber provides sidewall conveyor belt solutions for leading steel producers worldwide, covering high-temperature sinter, coke, pellets, and more. Our products have repeatedly proven their ability to replace top European brands in demanding metallurgical applications. In 2024, QBF rubber supplied the sidewall belt for China Baowu Steel’s Zhanjiang project—a 115-meter vertical lift hydrogen-based furnace system, setting a new industry benchmark.

Using QBF rubber’s proprietary “health record” system for each conveyor, our team analyzed operational data and delivered customized preventive maintenance plans. Through wear trend analysis and critical component life prediction, we helped identify potential faults early, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend conveyor belt service life.

“Our goal is more than a high-quality belt—it’s full lifecycle service, from system diagnosis and installation support to routine maintenance,” said a QBF rubber service representative. QBF rubber has established service points in key overseas markets to ensure fast, localized support, keeping “Made in China” solutions reliable and durable worldwide.

This successful Russian inspection further demonstrates QBF rubber’s commitment to full lifecycle service—from installation guidance and commissioning, to periodic inspections and preventive maintenance, to upgrade recommendations. Going forward, QBF rubber will continue its “product + service” dual-driven strategy, delivering reliable steep-angle conveying solutions and professional support to steel enterprises globally.
