PE Conveyor belts
The lack of textile threads in the PE conveyor belts eliminates the risk of product contamination due to edge fraying. The smooth surfaces guarantee an optimum level of hygiene, makes cleaning easy and prevents bacterial growth. Made from noble Polyethyelene materials, the PE conveyor belts offer excellent resistance to detergent products.
Polyethylene can handle operational temperatures down to -73° C and is thus suitable for conveyor belts, operating in cold areas. The Polyethylene conveyour belts are ideal for applications that require a flexible belt material with superior impact strength. This is because PE is a well-suited belt material for very low temperatures and/or high-impact applications.
The physical properties depend on the density and molecular weight of the polyethylene type. The Polyethylene conveyor belts have the following characteristics:
+ Excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalines
+ High impact resistance, even at low temperatures
- Low abrasion resistance
- Limited resistance to high temperatures

| Fish | Canning | Industrial bakeries and pastry making | Ready-cooked dishes |
What are the advantages of using PE conveyor belts in terms of hygiene?
PE conveyor belts are designed without any textile threads, which significantly reduces the risk of product contamination due to edge fraying. Their smooth surfaces ensure optimum hygiene levels, making cleaning straightforward and effective. Furthermore, the materials used prevent bacterial growth, making them ideal for applications where cleanliness is paramount.
How does the temperature resistance of Polyethylene affect its application in conveyor systems?
Polyethylene conveyor belts can tolerate operational temperatures as low as -73° C, making them suitable for use in cold environments. This property allows these belts to maintain flexibility and durability in extreme conditions, which is particularly advantageous for industries requiring high-impact applications and low-temperature performance.
What factors influence the physical properties of PE conveyor belts?
The physical properties of PE conveyor belts are influenced by the density and molecular weight of the specific type of polyethylene used. Variations in these factors can affect strength, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental conditions, allowing customization for specific industrial applications.
