Rubber Skirt Board

Designed around demanding operating requirements

Rubber Skirt Board, also known as Conveyor Skirting Rubber, is a high-quality wear-resistant rubber strip designed to create an effective seal between the conveyor belt and the skirt board. It prevents material spillage, controls dust emissions, and improves the efficiency of bulk material handling systems.

Manufactured from premium-grade natural and synthetic rubber compounds, Rubber Skirt Boards provide excellent abrasion resistance, flexibility, and durability, making them suitable for demanding industries such as mining, cement, power generation, steel, ports, and quarry operations.
