Teflon Belts

TEFLON BELTS

Teflon belts are conveyor belts made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a high-performance synthetic polymer known for its non-stick properties and high resistance to heat and chemicals. Teflon belts are commonly used in industries that require the transport of products through high-temperature environments or where materials must not stick to the surface of the belt.

Key Characteristics of Teflon Belts:

  1. Non-stick Surface: Teflon’s low friction and non-stick properties make these belts ideal for conveying products like food or paper where sticking could cause problems.
  2. Heat Resistance: Teflon belts can typically withstand temperatures from -100°F to +500°F (-73°C to 260°C), making them suitable for a wide range of industrial processes.
  3. Chemical Resistance: These belts are highly resistant to a variety of chemicals, including acids and solvents, making them perfect for use in chemical processing.
  4. Durability: Teflon belts are durable and can handle rough conditions, including heavy loads, harsh environments, and long hours of operation.
  5. Ease of Cleaning: Due to their smooth and non-stick surface, Teflon belts are easy to clean, making them a popular choice in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries.

Common Applications:

  • Food Processing: Used in ovens, fryers, and cooling tunnels where food must be conveyed at high temperatures without sticking.
  • Packaging: In packaging lines where products need to be transported without contamination or sticking to the belt.
  • Textile Industry: Used in drying, printing, and finishing of fabrics.
  • Pharmaceuticals: For handling tablets and other products in manufacturing lines, especially those that require heat or chemical resistance.
