Materials and usage precautions of light conveyor belts

Lightweight conveyor belts are a type of solid material conveyor belts with lighter materials. There are many choices of materials, including PVC, PU belts, etc. These materials have their own characteristics and applicable scope, and need to be selected according to specific application scenarios and requirements.

PVC conveyor belts are made of polyvinyl chloride as raw materials. They have the characteristics of light weight, good wear resistance, smooth surface and easy cleaning. They are widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, light industry and other industries.
PU conveyor belts are made of polyurethane as raw materials. They have excellent strength and wear resistance. They can withstand high tension and high speed transportation. They are suitable for electronics, automobiles, machinery manufacturing and other industries.
In addition to the above materials, there are some special materials, such as silicone conveyor belts with a maximum temperature resistance of 200℃, and Teflon conveyor belts with excellent high temperature resistance. They can withstand extremely high temperatures and are suitable for transportation in high temperature environments.

Choosing the right conveyor belt material needs to be considered according to specific application scenarios and requirements, including the conveying environment, material characteristics, conveying speed and distance, belt wear resistance, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

Lightweight conveyor belts can be customized according to user needs.

Note when using:

Is the installation correct: Whether the interface of the conveyor belt runs in the forward direction or the reverse direction depends on the working condition of the machine. If there are working contents such as scrapers or brushes on the surface, the surface should be considered to run in the forward direction. If there is no working content on the surface, the reverse side should be considered to run in the forward direction. For imported belts, the tooth interface has no direction, and the overlap is the same as above.
Correct adjustment: The frame material is generally composed of iron or aluminum alloy, while the conveyor belt is composed of fiber materials such as rubber, plastic or PVC.
Extension adjustment: Although forced stretching has been adopted during the weaving of the fiber and the vulcanization and plasticization of the product, there is a retraction process after the finished product is manufactured. This retraction process will still extend during use. Therefore, it is not advisable to adjust too tight during the first use. It is best to adjust it to the applicable state after running for 3 to 5 days or about 40 hours. At this time, the internal stress distribution of the belt body has reached a uniform state.
