This study includes an experimental work to determine the effect of ultraviolet radiation (uv-rays) on the mechanical behavior of the conveyor rubber vulcanizing, which used in various transport operations, and in the cement plant Tartus. In this wor
k, it has been prepared different samples of belts, and they were exposed to uv radiation at differente times, then they were tested to know its wear and tensile strength.
The results were compared with samples similar to the samples tested, which was not exposed to the rays of UV, and with other samples exposed to temperatures, and that in order to reach the ideal conditions for the use of these belts, which ensures longer period of use and safe conditions. This study showed that uv-rays increase the average of wear and the tensile strength of belts.
