Custom production of Polyester fabrics for conveyor belts

Some technical characteristics of Polyester fabrics for conveyor belts are:



Polyester fabrics are synthetic polymers derived from the polycondensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, and are the most common name for polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

These fabrics have excellent toughness and resilience, high resistance to abrasion, creasing and heat, high modulus of elasticity, low moisture regain and good resistance to chemical and physical agents.

These fabrics are often combined with other natural, artificial or synthetic materials, such as polyurethane or carbon spiral anti-static yarns, to obtain specific properties or effects.

These fabrics are used for conveyor belts that require high tensile strength, resistance to cutting and wear, flexibility and dimensional stability. They are suitable for use in ovens, air gravity conveying and general transport applications.

Polyester fabrics are also used for conveyor belts for industrial printers, where a very uniform and smooth surface is required for optimal printing quality.

Some of the industrial sectors that use polyester fabric conveyor belts are food, metalworking, textile, printing, packaging and logistics.



Polyester fabrics are synthetic materials that have many advantages over other fabrics, such as cotton, wool, silk, or nylon.



These fabrics are durable and lightweight, which means they can last longer and are easy to carry.

These fabrics are wrinkle resistant, which means they do not need ironing and can maintain their shape well.

They dry very quickly, which makes them ideal for outerwear or sportswear.

They take dyes easily, which means they can have bright and lasting colours and prints.

They are stain resistant, which means they are easy to clean and do not absorb dirt or liquids.

These fabrics are economical, which means they cost less than other synthetic fibers, such as nylon.

They can be combined with other materials, such as cotton, wool, nylon, or viscose, to obtain specific properties or effects.

Inquire about the belts via the inquiry form provided here. Then we will contact you and, if necessary, specify all the technical parameters and tell you the price of a specific product.

We offer a wide range of their different profiles.

Conveyor belts made of polyethylene and polyester are designed for use even in cases that require increased resistance of the belt to pyrolysis - when the belt is non-toxic when burning.


Main Types of Belt Materials

The main types of materials for polyethylene and polyester coatings are:

  • PEFLEX

    Special belts with a polyethylene surface with excellent chemical resistance. They are resistant to pyrolysis. They have a non-stick surface.

  • POLIFLEX

    Special belts with a polyethylene surface with excellent chemical resistance. They are resistant to pyrolysis. They have a non-stick surface and small bending diameters.

  • POLIKLEEN

    Special belts with a polyethylene surface with excellent chemical resistance. They are resistant to pyrolysis. They have good wear resistance and they are easy to clean.

  • AMTEL

    Special belts with a polyester surface are mechanically very strong, resistant to abrasion and cuts and at the same time flexible at low temperatures. They are resistant to hydrolysis and pyrolysis.

Belts Construction

The base of the belt consists of a fabric, which is coated on the top and bottom side with polyethylene – PEFLEX, POLIFLEX or POLIKLEEN or with polyester – AMTEL.

The belt consists of one or more layers that ensure its strength, stability and cut resistance.

  1. Fabric
  2. Bottom cover layer
  3. Inner layer
  4. Top cover layer

Belts Fields of Use

PEFLEX, POLIFLEX and AMTEL conveyor belts are intended for use mainly in the tobacco industry and the food industry.

POLIKLEEN conveyor belts are intended for use mainly in the tobacco industry and in the woodworking industry – for example in painting.

Belts Joints

Joints can be made depending on the material of which the particular belt is made. You will find the exact information in the technical documentation of the selected belt.

Joint Type

Description

Illustration

Simple Finger Splice

A simple punched splice, that is joined into an endless belt by heat on a splicing machine. It is performed on belts with one fabric layer.

Double Finger Splice

Combined splice. First the belt must be separated into individual layers, which are then prepared separately for splicing. On the splicing machine, the layers are subsequently joined into an endless belt by heat. It is performed on multilayer belts.

Anker A Wire Hooks

Wide range for use in all operations from packaging lines, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, laundries. These are the most used connectors for PVC belts.

Anker G Lacing

Basic connection with lower strength, for which no installation jig is required. Ideal for undemanding joints. It is used especially by customers who do not connect belts too often.

Alligator RS – Ready Set

Easy installation, good strength and possible to use for pulleys with small diameters. Ideal for sorting lines, applications in agriculture, etc.

In addition to the above-mentioned most common types, it is possible to connect belts by other methods according to the requirements of the specific application. Our specialists will be happy to provide you with more information.

Belts Surface Structure

The surface structure ensures the specific properties of the belt. Applications range from easy separation of the product from the belt to the use of surface adhesion in technological processes or for inclined transport.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Huaqiang sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

The surface structures can be on the top or bottom cover layer. The choice of structure depends on the properties of the transported product.

There are many types of structures in the product range. The most common can be found in the Overview of Standard Surface Profiles (PDF file for download).

Belts Accessories

Guides

Guide profiles ensure direct belt guidance and prevent belt movement on the rollers. The result is a smooth guidance without a polygon effect, which is also suitable for higher speeds.

Profiles made of PVC, polyurethane or polyester are welded or glued to the bottom side of the conveyor belt.

The V-profile can also be used as a transverse carrier or side edge for transporting material.

The most common way of guiding the belt is a V-guide.

Profile Type

Description

Illustration

Full V-Profile

The smooth, clean design of the wedge is less prone to contamination.

Lightweight V-Profile

On the bottom side of the belt there is a wedge with pressed teeth, which allow easier bending and thus smaller cylinder diameters than solid wedges.

In addition to the V-profiles, the guide profiles can also be square. However, their use is far from numerous. If you are interested in implementing square guide profiles, please contact us.

Side Walls

BORDOFLEX side walls made of PVC or polyurethane are welded on the sides to the top of the belt.

Side walls are used for the transport of bulk materials and for the transport of material at an angle. They prevent spillage or loss of materials.

Transverse Cleats

Transverse cleats made of PVC, polyurethane or polyester on top of a belt for inclined/declined transport. They prevent the material from sliding or falling.

The possibilities of their shapes and fastening are wide and are based on the used material of the belt, as well as on the requirements for optimizing the function of transporting the material or objects.

Additional Belts Modifications

Punching

Punching of conveyor belts is performed for the transport of products using vacuum and for applications with photocell control.

Punching is performed on punching machines, which are able to produce punching in a precisely defined arrangement.

AMSEAL Sealed Edges

The AMSEAL sealed edge system guarantees reliable protection of the belt edges. It prevents fraying and thus prevents the penetration of bacteria, oils and fats into the belt structure.

The AMSEAL edge protection completely seals the edge of the belt with a thermoplastic strip. It increases the safety and hygiene of food production, increases the life of the belt and enables easy cleaning.

It is most often used in the food industry, processing of meat, fish, fruit, milk and other foods, in bakeries and other operations.
