Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a V-ribbed belt having a plurality of V-shaped ribs extending in a longitudinal direction and arranged in a width direction. The method includes: setting a shaped structure having a plurality of ridges arranged adjacent to one another in a belt mold including a plurality of compressed rubber layer-shaping grooves arranged adjacent to one another on an inner peripheral surface of the mold; molding a belt slab by crosslinking the shaped structure set in the mold, while compressed rubber layer-forming portions face radially outward and are fitted in the compressed rubber layer-shaping grooves, the compressed rubber layer-forming portions comprised of a surface rubber layer and a core rubber layer which are to constitute surface and inner portions, respectively; and cutting the belt slab into ring-shaped pieces having two or more of the compressed rubber layer-forming portions.

Abstract: A shaped structure and a fabric material are set in a belt mold such that the shaped structure and the fabric material are respectively positioned inside and outside with respect to each other. While each of compression layer-forming portions comprised of ridges of the shaped structure covered with the fabric material is fitted in an associated one of compression layer-shaping grooves of the belt mold, the shaped structure is pressed toward the belt mold and heated to be crosslinked, and integrated with the fabric material, thereby molding a cylindrical belt slab. The belt slab is cut into ring-shaped pieces having two or more of the compression layer-forming portions.

Abstract: A method include: providing a cylindrical mold made of metal, a shaped structure having a cylindrical shape, a rotation mechanism configured to rotatably support the cylindrical mold, and an electromagnetic induction coil configured to heat the cylindrical mold through electromagnetic induction; setting the shaped structure inside the cylindrical mold; and molding a cylindrical belt slab by heating the cylindrical mold by the electromagnetic induction coil, while the cylindrical mold is rotated by the rotation mechanism and the shaped structure is pressurized from inside and pressed against the cylindrical mold.
