Today, let me introduce the types of belt conveyors
Belt conveyors can be divided into plastic chain plate conveyor belts, PVC/PU belt conveyors, stainless steel chain plate conveyor belts, stainless steel mesh chain conveyor belts, etc. according to their materials.
1.Advantages of Plastic Chain Plate Conveyor Belt:
1.1 Durable and sturdy: The plastic material has high hardness and is wear-resistant, not easily scratched or worn out, and can be used for a long time.
1.2 Easy to clean and hygienic: The surface is smooth and non stick, and can be cleaned with just a rinse of water. It is not easy to accumulate dirt and is suitable for industries such as food.
1.3 Corrosion resistance, high and low temperature resistance: Unlike metal chain plates that rust, they are not easily damaged by water or acid or alkali, and have low temperature requirements. They can be used normally in high and low temperature environments.
1.4Light weight and low noise: much lighter than metal chain plates, with low noise during operation and a quieter working environment.
1.5Non damaging product: The surface is relatively soft, and it is not easy to damage or scratch when transporting cardboard boxes, bottles, food, etc.
1.6Flexible splicing: It can be extended or widened as needed, and can also be used for turning and climbing.
1.7 Easy maintenance: Replace any broken section without having to replace the entire one, resulting in low repair costs.
2. Advantages of belt conveyor:
2.1 It can continuously supply materials without stopping, with high work efficiency and no need for frequent starting and stopping.
2.2 Transporting over long distances and in large quantities is suitable.
2.3 The structure is simple, easy to operate, and workers can quickly get started without complex training.
2.4 Smooth operation with low noise, minimal impact on materials, and less risk of material scattering.
2.5 Without selecting materials, block materials, powder materials, bagged materials, and boxed materials can basically be transported.
2.6 The land occupation is relatively flexible, and can be arranged horizontally or diagonally, making it convenient to coordinate with the production line.
2.7 Easy maintenance, low cost, few vulnerable parts, easy to repair when broken.
2.8 Good safety, less prone to material jamming and injury, suitable for long-term automated operation.
3. Advantages of stainless steel conveyor belt
3.1 Hygiene and Cleanliness, Easy to Clean: The surface is smooth without burrs, does not hide dirt, does
not absorb moisture, can be washed and disinfected, very suitable for the food industry.
3.2 Corrosion resistance and non rusting: Water resistant, resistant to weak acids and alkalis, resistant to
oil stains, and not easily corroded even after long-term use in humid environments, with a longer
lifespan.
3.3 High strength and high temperature resistance: It can adapt to high-temperature processes such as
baking, steaming, and drying, and is more heat-resistant than ordinary plastics and belts.
3.4 Stable operation, no damage to materials: good rigidity, smooth operation, and less likely to scratch
or deform when conveying fragile and easily deformed products.
3.5 Flexible layout and strong adaptability: It can be arranged horizontally, tilted, uphill, and turned, and
can easily connect to the entire production line, with high layout freedom.
3.6 Wear resistant and tear resistant, with a long service life: more wear-resistant than rubber bands and
PVC bands, less prone to aging and cracking, and also suitable for heavy-duty conditions.
3.7 Simple maintenance: The structure is sturdy, not prone to material jamming or deviation, and the
cost of later maintenance and replacement is low.
Conveyor belts are divided into heat-resistant conveyor belts, cold resistant conveyor belts, oil resistant conveyor belts, flame-retardant conveyor belts, and edge/skirt conveyor belts according to their uses.
