Heat-resistant conveyor belts
A standard rubber belt is designed for material up to about 80 °C. Hotter material quickly causes hardening, cracking and cover separation. Heat-resistant belts have a special rubber cover that protects the carcass from heat, so they last longer in cement plants, asphalt plants, foundries and wherever hot material is conveyed.
Applications
cement plants – clinker, cement, hot material from mills
asphalt plants – hot aggregate and asphalt
heating plants and power generation – ash and slag
foundries and steel mills
chemical and metallurgical industry
mineral wool and glass industry
Resistance grades
The belts are available in four heat-resistance grades – from versions for material at about +120 °C to versions that withstand short peaks of up to +400 °C. The actual permissible temperature depends on ambient temperature, grain size of the material and contact time with the belt – so we advise on the right grade for each case.
Versions that are both heat and oil resistant are also available on request.
Antistatic and self-extinguishing versions for use in ATEX zones (explosion-hazard areas) are available on request.
Sizes and availability
We supply heat-resistant belts to order, at short notice – according to the resistance grade, width and construction you need.
Various widths and constructions on request.
Splicing heat-resistant belts
For these belts we recommend hot vulcanising with material matched to the belt's resistance grade – a cold splice is not suitable for continuous operation at high temperature. Conveyor belt vulcanising and splicing →
How to request a quote
Send the belt designation, width and length, type of material and its maximum temperature on the belt. Enquiry form →
FAQ
How do I know which grade I need?
By the material temperature at the loading point; we also consider grain size and how long the material stays on the belt.
Why is my belt cracking and hardening?
Usually the cover's heat resistance is too low for the material temperature.
Can a heat-resistant belt be cold spliced?
For continuous operation at high temperature we recommend hot vulcanising.
