Oil and grease resistant conveyor belts
Oils and greases attack standard rubber – the cover swells, softens, loses strength and separates from the plies. When the conveyed material contains oils, greases or chemicals, a belt with a special nitrile rubber (NBR) cover is used, which retains its properties under such conditions. The belts are manufactured to DIN 22102.
Applications
recycling yards and waste treatment plants
composting plants
fertiliser production
agriculture and animal feed production (soy, oilseeds, grain)
wood industry (sawdust, chips, boards)
cement plants – alternative fuels
chemical and metallurgical industry
Three resistance grades
Basic – with a low content of vegetable oils or animal fats
Enhanced – more aggressive materials – resins, cellulose, fertilisers, animal feed, soy
Highest – materials with mineral oils, anti-caking agents in fertiliser production, aggressive resins
We choose the grade according to the type and amount of oil in the material – we advise on each specific case.
Versions
standard or sliding (for running on a slider bed)
with double cover
antistatic and self-extinguishing version for ATEX zones – on request
oil resistant belts are also made as chevron belts Chevron belts →

FAQ
Why is my belt swelling and softening?
Usually because of oil or grease in the material – a standard cover is not resistant to them.
Which grade do I need?
It depends on the type of oil: vegetable and animal oils need a lower grade, mineral oils the highest.
Can an oil resistant belt also work at higher temperatures?
Versions resistant to both oil and heat are available on request. Heat-resistant belts →
