A conveyor belt is a device used to transport materials. With the development of industrial production, there are more and more opportunities to encounter high temperature environments. Therefore, high temperature resistant conveyor belts are becoming more and more important. How much high temperature can the conveyor belt withstand?
1. We need to understand some basic knowledge of conveyor belts. Generally, the material of the conveyor belt can be divided into rubber, polyurethane, PVC, linen and so on. These base materials have different heat resistance temperatures, so different conveyor belts have different resistance to high temperatures. Generally speaking, rubber conveyor belts are often used in heat-resistant applications because they have better heat resistance. Conveyor belts made of polyurethane and PVC are prone to aging and deformation at high temperatures.
2. Under different environments, the temperature of the conveyor belt will be different. For example, in high-temperature workplaces such as steel plants and metallurgical industries, the high temperature that the conveyor belt bears is higher than that of other industries. According to the survey, the high temperature resistant conveyor belts currently on the market can withstand temperatures as high as 400°C. This is enough to meet the needs of most industrial production.
3. It should be noted that although the conveyor belt has a strong resistance to high temperature, the long-term high temperature environment also has a great impact on the conveyor belt. Prolonged high temperature can easily lead to problems such as aging, deformation, and cracking of the conveyor belt, which will affect the service life and effect. Therefore, when using the conveyor belt in a high temperature environment, it is necessary to combine the actual situation and take some necessary protective measures, such as increasing lubrication and avoiding excessive stretching.
Generally speaking, the high temperature resistance of the conveyor belt is 400°C, which can meet the needs of most industrial production, and we also need to pay attention to protective measures when using it to prolong the service life.
