Which belts are fire resistant?

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber conveyor belts with flame-retardant properties provide excellent fire resistance up to 400°F.

Steel cord belts with fire-resistant rubber layers and high-tensile steel carcasses offer maximum resistance to extreme temperatures, impacts, and cuts.

Belts reinforced or finished with materials such as Kevlar, Teflon, Twaron, or neoprene can self-extinguish and handle prolonged exposure to naked flames.

Metal roller chain belts have excellent heat and flame resistance. These belts attach to roller chain conveyors and come in apron pan, z-pan, and hinged steel belt configurations.

In underground mining, flame-resistant conveyor belts transport coal dust and other combustible materials from the mine face to the surface.

Thermal power plants rely on fire-resistant conveyor belts to move materials from storage silos to boilers for power generation.

Coal cleaning plants utilize flame-retardant belts throughout the coal preparation process, such as conveying raw coal to crushing and screening equipment, transporting clean coal to storage or loading facilities, and handling waste materials.

Food processing facilities that handle vegetable oils employ fire-resistant conveyor belts to safely transport oils as they undergo refinement.

The pharmaceutical and chemical industries use flame-retardant conveyor belts to process hazardous materials, such as flammable powders, granules, or pellets.

Woodworking and furniture manufacturing plants use fire-resistant conveyor belts to safely handle combustible dust, such as sawdust and wood chips, generated during cutting, sanding, and milling operations.
