Lightweight Conveyor Belt's Materials and Processing Methods

Material

Light conveyor belts are made of various materials, including PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PU (polyurethane), rubber, silicone, etc. Light conveyor belts of different materials have different characteristics and are suitable for different application scenarios.

PVC conveyor belt: PVC conveyor belt has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, tensile resistance and flame retardancy. It is moderately priced and widely used in general material conveying occasions.
PU conveyor belt: PU conveyor belt has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and tear resistance. It has good elasticity and is suitable for material conveying that requires a higher friction coefficient.
Rubber conveyor belt: Rubber conveyor belt has good wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It has high tensile strength and is suitable for heavy material conveying and high temperature environment.
Silicone conveyor belt: Silicone conveyor belt has excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and insulation. It is soft and suitable for material conveying that requires higher precision.

Processing methods and processes

The processing methods and processes of light conveyor belts mainly include the following links:

Raw material selection and batching: According to the use requirements of light conveyor belts, select appropriate raw materials for batching, such as PVC, PU, ​​rubber, etc.
Mixing and calendering: Mix the raw materials after batching to make them evenly mixed. Then use a calender to calender the mixed rubber into a film of a certain thickness.
Molding and vulcanization: Cut and mold the calendered film according to the size and shape of the light conveyor belt. Then put the molded conveyor belt into a vulcanization tank for vulcanization treatment to give it a certain strength and elasticity.
Surface treatment and processing: Surface treatment of light conveyor belts is performed as needed, such as polishing, printing, labeling, etc. At the same time, special processing can also be performed, such as punching, grooving, adding baffles, etc.
Quality inspection and packaging: Quality inspection of the processed light conveyor belts to ensure that they meet relevant standards. Then package them for transportation and storage.
In short, light conveyor belts play an important role in material transportation in all walks of life. Understanding the characteristics of light conveyor belts made of different materials, selecting appropriate types, and mastering processing methods and processes will help improve the efficiency and quality of material transportation and promote the production and development of the enterprise.
