The beauty of the thermoplastic conveyor belt is the belts versatility. Thermoplastic belts have a broad range of chemical compounds (polymer and monomer chains). Based on the manufacturing and conveying requirements from the thermoplastic, varying types of thermoplastic belts can be manufactured to suit an array of industries. Each polymer compound varies in it’s properties and the elements for which it can perform and is used in conveyor belt solutions.  For industrial conveyor belts, the specific types of thermoplastic polymers are; polyurethane (PU), , polyethelene (PE) silicone(Si) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  Polyurethane Belts (PU) PU belts are manufactured following FDA approved compounds and manufacturing methods to ensure that the thermoplastic conveyor belt is suitable for the food manufacturing industry. This belt can also be used across pharmaceutical, metal transportation and textile industries.  PU conveyor belts are used in these ...

Hello Everyone.....!!! Today we shall continue our previous 'TIMING PULLEY ' series. Here we are going to discuss timing pulley calculation chart.                                  Pitch Diameter (P.D.) = (Pitch x Number of teeth) / ∏ Timing belt pulley outside diameter (O.D.) builds upon the relationship between the timing belt pulley and timing belt. The outside diameter of the timing belt pulley is in contact with the tooth bottom of the timing belt while meshing with it. The distance from the timing belt tooth bottom to the tensile cord (pitch line) will determine the outside diameter of the timing belt pulley for any timing belt pitch/timing belt profile. Variables: Pitch :                                5 mm No of Teeth:             X     16   ...

 Let’s look at the relative benefits of two of the most common types of conveyor belts: Table top and Mat top. TABLE TOP CONVEYOR BELT:- Table top conveyor belt are modular belt, which makes them very flexible. You can add or remove modules, they work well with inclines and declines, and they can go around curves. These features make table top conveyor belt particularly advantageous when space is at a premium. Table top conveyor belts are appropriate for sanitary environments where mild detergents are used. Use a table top conveyor belts: 1. Single-file products 2. Expand a line 3. Improve the speed and efficiency of changeovers 4.

Hello Everyone .....!!! Choosing the right construction material for a timing belt pulley can have dramatic repercussions. When designing a pulley you want a product that is reliable, has a long operation life, and is cost effective. Often, to achieve the desired results, that means there are two options for construction Material: Plastic or Metal. Nylon Vs. Aluminum Nylon: .Lightweight .Inertia control .Energy saving .Chemical resistance .Material cost savings .No coating to avoid oxidation Aluminum: .Lightweight (heavier than nylon) .Durable .Resistance to heat .High tensile strength When is Aluminum Preferable? One of the main reasons for choosing aluminum as a material is its high tensile strength, making it ideal is high horsepower drive systems. Nylon, however, has a lower tensile strength than aluminum or steel but it is still sufficient for low horsepower drive systems. One of the other most common reasons for turning to aluminum over nylon is its tem...

Hello Everyone....!!! First we will talk about Tooth Pitch Comparison, later on Belt Selection Guide. Tooth Pitch Comparison Imperial Pitch Belts - XL, L, H, XH This classic trapezoidal pitch is the original timing belt tooth design. This tooth pitch is commonly used for conveying applications. The tooth profile is fairly low and has a large surface area at the tip of the tooth providing good support on sliding conveyor surfaces. T Pitch Belts - T2.5, T5, T10, T20 These metric trapezoidal pitches are similar to imperial pitches, also commonly used for conveying applications, yet have a slightly deeper tooth engagement than imperial profiles. The tooth meshing is more reliable. However, backlash can be slightly greater. AT Pitch Belts - AT5, AT10, AT20 This pitch was developed to enable higher load carrying capacity combined with low backlash. The stronger and stiffer tooth makes these belts ideal for linear positioning and motion control, but may require larger pulley ...

Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we are here with a new FAQ.. PVC   Vs  TPU  Belts PVC Belts: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) conveyor belts are standard belts in the food industry that can be used for basic applications across food processing and handling. PVC has grown to become the third most widely produced plastic, known for its durability and ease of use. A PVC-coated conveyor belt is best suitable for materials handling, bakery production applications, and meat, fish, and dairy processing. These antistatic belts provide good chemical resistance and are resistant to hot water and steam, as well. Based on specific needs and conveyor belt manufacturers, there are also flame-retardant models available. With limited abrasion resistance and limited resistance to solvents, oil, and grease, PVC belts are best suited for processing of fruits and vegetables and simpler operations with limited special requirements. For those unaware of specifications for ...

Good Evening Everyone...!!! In this series we shall discuss some FAQ's, which are very general. So let's start the series. When should I use a PVC belt and when should I use a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) or a Polyolefine (TPO) belt? PVC, TPU or TPO? As a rule of thumb, for low-end applications without special demands PVC-coated belts normally will do the job. On the other hand, more demanding or specific applications can require appropriate product features. As a general recommendation the following can be kept in mind:   PVC (Polyvinylchloride) Suitable for most low-end applications Reasonable price Resistant to most chemicals (except solvents, oil) Superior abrasion resistance   TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Superior strength for mechanically demanding applications Good abrasion resistance Good temperature resistance for a wide range of applications   TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Excellent release and antisticking ...
