Most belts are made using electrical, premium or standard grade fabrics, especially where fabric weave impression is undesirable or where sticky or gummy materials are being conveyed. Industrial and mechanical grade PTFE coated conveyor belts are preferred where economy is more important than maximum resistance to chemicals or solvents. Crease and tear resistant PTFE coated conveyor belts are suggested for higher speeds such as for packaging belts.
Tight weave porous belts and open mesh PTFE belts are specified for applications where porosity is required as in drying applications (e.g. textile drying belts) or microwave cooking ovens. Our anti-static range is used where static build up may occur such as in fuse press or thermofix applications.
