What are conveyor belts used for?
The function of a conveyor belt is to move objects from point A to point B with minimal effort. The rate, direction, curvature and size of the conveyor belt vary according to the user's needs, just like flat belts. In some industries, a conveyor belt brings products through a production or packaging line and back again.
What materials are the conveyor belts made of?
Generally, conveyor belts are made of a rubber or plastic compound combined with one or more layers of textile material or different diameters of steel fibres. A conveyor belt may be made of polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane and fabric such as polyester rubber and several layers of polyester or nylon fabric.
What are the advantages of using conveyor belts?
The conveyor belt can have different surfaces for better and smoother transportation of products.
The material may be visible on the belt during transportation.
They offer different thicknesses and linen reinforcements for maximum load transfer.
Types of conveyor belts
We distinguish between two types of conveyor belts, PVC conveyor belts and PU-TPU conveyor belts. But what are the characteristics that differentiate them?
What is PVC conveyor belt?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conveyor belts are typical belts with a wide range of industrial applications. Ideal for almost all flat and profiled inclined conveyor machine applications. PVC has become the third most widely produced plastic, known for its durability and ease of use. PVC conveyor belts have a synthetic fiber canvas as the core, PVC plastic cover, carrying light to medium weight products. The synthetic fiber cores used in this belt are polyester, nylon, Velen, carbon fiber and the like. The PVC belt is generally made of 1 to 3 layers of fabric, with the thickness of each layer of fabric ranging from 0,5 to 0,8 mm.
One of the main advantages of PVC conveyor belts is the wide range of performance bearing surface of the belt. In recent years, it has been widely used in PVC conveyor belts due to its high strength, low elongation and good temperature resistance.
These anti-static PVC belts provide good chemical resistance and are also resistant to hot water and steam. Based on specific needs and conveyor belt manufacturers, flame retardant models are also available.
With abrasion resistance and resistance to solvents, oils and fats, PVC belts are best suited for fruit and vegetable processing and simpler tasks with limited specific requirements.
What is PU-TPU conveyor belt?
Polyurethane conveyor belts (PU-TPU) are non-toxic, suitable for foods with high load capacity, cut-resistant, long-lasting, high-performance, and resistant to oils and vegetable fats.
These key factors make PU-TPU conveyor belts ideal for use in the food industry with highly demanding applications, such as in the confectionery industry, that require adaptability to temperature changes, superior abrasion, and surfaces that are easy to clean.
There are also different PU-TPU options available based on need, such as belts with better hydrolysis resistance and improved flexibility at lower temperatures or belts with higher resistance to thermal oxidation. They are available in different profiles, in white, green and blue.
