Anti-static Electrostatic charge in the conveyor belt may be caused by friction between the belt and the slider bed and/or the movement of the conveyed product or due to ionisation of the air (dry and dusty atmospheres). Although the static current is usually of low intensity, it can be the cause of problems for example…
Flame retardant The flame retardant property measures the capacity of the conveyor belt to extinguish a flame on it and the ease with which the flame reappears once extinguished. In esbelt, this inflammability test is carried out in accordance with the ISO 340 standard or ASTM D378 standard, depending on the belt application. ISO 340…
Pyrolysis Test The Pyrolysis Test consists of the combustion of a belt sample at 810ºC. The gases produced are collected and analysed to make sure that they are free from NITROGEN (N), SULPHUR (S) and HALOGENS – Chlorine (Cl), Fluoride (F). Our belts in the VERNA (polyolefin) and POLER (thermo-polyester) series, recommended for use in…
Excellent thickness regularity The photo below illustrates the control panel during the production of our PU belts. During the production process, a transverse section of a belt is captured as shown in this image with an average thickness (fabric with top cover) of 0.753mm, with a variance of 0.763 – 0.742 = 0.021mm between the maximum and…
Food regulations The main objective of food regulations is to ensure food safety and protect human health. They restrict the type of substances that can be used and their dosage. These standards are constantly updated. A certificate that simply states that a belt is “food grade” or could come in contact with does not meet…
ATEX Compliant Belts Suspended combustible particles spread by air at a given concentration can produce an explosion if three main factors are present: Dust of a given size and concentration. Burning agent (oxygen) that produces the combustion process. An ignition point or heat source (sparks from static electricity). Processes involving dusts, powder, particles are susceptible…
