Supplying Iranian Industrial Operations
Iran has significant mineral resources and a large industrial base. It is among the world's top ten steel producers, has major copper deposits at Sarcheshmeh and Sungun, substantial iron ore at Gol-e-Gohar and Chador Malu, and one of the world's largest cement industries. Industrial demand for conveyor belts is substantial and ongoing.
Elephant Rubber (Yexiang Hebei Conveying Machinery Co., Ltd.) manufactures conveyor belts, polyurethane screen panels, and rubber liners in Hebei, China. We supply to Iranian buyers where transactions can be arranged within applicable legal frameworks.
Key Industries in Iran
Copper Mining β Sarcheshmeh and Sungun
The Sarcheshmeh copper complex in Kerman Province (National Iranian Copper Industries Company β NICICO) is one of the world's largest copper porphyry deposits. The Sungun mine in East Azerbaijan is another major copper operation. Both require steel cord and EP belts for large-scale open-pit ore handling, and PU screen panels for concentrator classification circuits.
Iron Ore β Gol-e-Gohar and Chador Malu
Gol-e-Gohar in Kerman Province and Chador Malu in Yazd Province are Iran's largest iron ore operations. These feed Iran's integrated steel plants. High-capacity overland and in-pit conveyor systems require steel cord belts with abrasion-resistant covers.
Steel β MOBARAKEH, ISFAHAN, and KHUZESTAN
Iran's integrated steel sector β including Mobarakeh Steel (Esfahan), ESCO (Esfahan), and Khuzestan Steel β requires EP and heat-resistant belts for raw material handling, sinter conveying, and finished product handling. These are large, sophisticated operations with experienced technical procurement teams.
Cement
Iran has one of the world's highest cement production capacities relative to its population. Dozens of cement plants operate across the country. Limestone quarry conveyors, raw mill feed, and clinker conveying are standard requirements β EP and HR belts.
Coal and Coke
Iran imports coking coal for its steel industry. Coal port facilities and inland distribution require standard EP belts for coal handling.
Practical Notes for Iranian Buyers
Iran operates under international sanctions that affect payment channels and certain trade flows. We are transparent about this: transactions between Chinese and Iranian companies do occur and there are established channels for trade, but buyers and sellers both need to navigate the banking and logistics dimensions carefully. We recommend discussing the specifics of payment and shipping arrangements directly before proceeding with an order.
Iranian industrial buyers are technically sophisticated. The country has strong engineering universities and its industrial procurement teams know what they want. We provide full technical documentation β DIN 22102 / ISO 14890 test reports, dimensional data, material certificates β as standard.
