For FDA applications, we recommend white PVC, white studded, and white Supergrip as suitable timing belt coatings.
White PVC, white Supergrip, herringbone profile, white studs, and sawtooth profile are particularly suitable for applications in the food industry. The best coating depends on the product weight, hygiene requirements, and conveyor speed.
For the glass industry, we recommend Novoflies, various Sylomer variants, PU films, herringbone profiles, Supergrip variants, RP400, or Viton.
Numerous coatings are available for filling and packaging systems, such as Celloflex, Sylomer, Supergrip, Teflon, EPDM, and studded coatings. The optimal solution depends on the packaging material, cycle rate, and required grip.
For the wood industry, we recommend, among other options, polyamide fabric, PU films, Supergrip coatings, Linatex, or RP400. The key factors in making this selection are abrasion load, dust generation, and the nature of the wood.
Celloflex, Sylomer, PU Yellow, Polythan, and PVC coatings are suitable for the paper industry. The appropriate solution should be tailored to the type of paper, surface sensitivity, and production speed.
For the film industry, we recommend Celloflex and PU Yellow coatings. The choice should be based on film thickness, surface texture, and the desired conveying accuracy.
Various Supergrip coatings are suitable for cardboard boxes. The optimal coefficient of friction depends on the weight, the surface of the cardboard box, and the conveyor angle.
Sylomer, yellow PU, Porol, Teflon, and sponge rubber are used for labeling machines. Precise label guidance requires coordination of the coating, speed, and product geometry.
Celloflex, Sylomer, PU Yellow, and PU Gray are used for pressure belts. The optimal coating depends on the contact pressure, material sensitivity, and process speed.
PU films, Sylomer, Correx, Linatex, and RP400 are used for pull-off belts. For best results, tensile strength, material properties, and process parameters should be taken into account.
For inclined conveying, profiled coatings with exceptional grip—such as herringbone, sawtooth, or Supergrip—are available. The steeper the incline, the more important it is to select a suitable surface texture.
Novoflies, Teflon, and Viton are used for elevated temperatures. The selection should always be based on the actual operating temperature.
For wet conveying, the Sawtooth profile, Supergrip Green, and RP400 are recommended. In addition to traction, water resistance and ease of cleaning play an important role.
Novoflies and polyamide fabrics are used for applications in dusty operating conditions. The right coating helps reduce wear and increase process reliability.
For high abrasion resistance, we recommend PU film 85°, PU film 60°, and EPDM. The optimal choice depends on the material being conveyed, contact load, and mileage.
Chrome leather, herringbone profile, and Linatrile are suitable for applications involving oil and grease. The key factors here are chemical resistance and the desired level of adhesion.
Sylomer M, Sylomer P, Correx, and Linatex are used in the cable industry.
Chrome leather is recommended for transporting pipes.
