Types and features of PTFE conveyor belts

Teflon conveyor belts, also known as PTFE conveyor belts or high-temperature-resistant belts, are classified into the following types with distinct features:

I. Types

1. Teflon Mesh Conveyor Belts:

   • Defined by mesh size specifications:
     • Common mesh sizes: 1×1 mm, 2×2.5 mm, 4×4 mm, 10×10 mm.
     • Further categorized into single-weft and double-weft types based on warp and weft configurations.

2. Teflon High-Temperature Fabrics:

   • Classified by thickness, with the thinnest variant reaching 0.08 mm.

II. Characteristics

1. High-Temperature Resistance:

   • Operates stably between -112°C to 260°C (some variants tolerate -196°C to 300°C). Proven durability in 250°C environments for over 200 days without weight or strength degradation.

2. Chemical Corrosion Resistance:

   • Withstands strong acids, bases, organic solvents, and most corrosive chemicals.

3. Dimensional Stability:

   • High tensile strength with an elongation coefficient <5‰, ensuring minimal deformation under stress.

4. Easy Cleaning:

   • Non-stick surface resists adhesion of oils, stains, or debris, simplifying maintenance.

5. Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic:

   • Compliant with environmental and safety standards, free of harmful substances.

6. Flame Retardancy:

   • Exceptional fire resistance and self-extinguishing properties.

7. Breathability (Mesh Belts):

   • Mesh structure enhances airflow, improving drying efficiency in industrial processes.

Additional Features:

• Anti-Aging: Maintains performance under prolonged UV or environmental exposure.
• Electrical Insulation: Ideal for applications requiring dielectric properties.

Applications:

Widely used in textile printing & dyeing, food baking, petrochemicals, electrical insulation, construction membranes, and more. Teflon conveyor belts play a vital role in industrial production due to their unmatched properties and versatility.
