How to choose industrial belts in high-temperature/corrosive environments? Special material solutions

When selecting industrial belts for high-temperature or corrosive environments, specialized materials must be chosen based on specific operating conditions. Below are targeted solutions and analyses:

I. High-Temperature Environment Solutions

1. Silicone Rubber Belts

   • Properties: Maintain flexibility and elasticity at elevated temperatures.
     • Applications: Baking ovens, heat treatment equipment.
   • Advantages:
     • Withstands temperatures up to 200°C.
     • Preserves stable transmission efficiency without slippage or performance degradation under thermal stress.

2. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE/Teflon™) Belts

   • Properties: Exceptional heat resistance and chemical inertness.
     • Applications: Extreme temperature (‑70°C to 260°C) and chemically aggressive environments.
   • Advantages:
     • Weather/aging resistant.
     • Non-stick surface simplifies cleaning.

3. Ceramic Fiber Belts

   • Properties: Ultra-high temperature tolerance.
     • Applications: Furnace conveyance, metallurgy, ceramic manufacturing.
   • Advantages:
     • Retains physical/chemical stability under extreme heat (e.g., >1000°C).

II. Corrosive Environment Solutions

1. Stainless Steel Core Belts

   • Properties: Corrosion-resistant steel wire reinforcement.
     • Applications: Chemical processing, electroplating.
   • Advantages:
     • Resists acids, alkalis, and aggressive chemical media.

2. Coated Belts

   • Properties: Customized corrosion-resistant surface coatings.
     • Applications: Multi-chemical exposure scenarios.
   • Advantages:
     • Tailored coatings for acid/alkali/oil resistance.

3. PTFE/Teflon™ Belts (Reiterated for dual-purpose performance)

   • Properties: Inherent chemical corrosion resistance alongside thermal stability.
     • Applications: Pharmaceutical, chemical industries.
   • Advantages:
     • Resists aqua regia, strong acids/bases, and organic solvents.
