1. Thickness:
- The standard thickness typically ranges from 1-8 mm, which meets the needs of most industrial applications.
- Custom thicknesses can be produced for special requirements, with the maximum currently achievable thickness being 12 mm.
2. Color:
- Common colors include white, green, black, blue, dark green, gray, and red.
- Custom color matching (based on color charts) is available for large-volume orders requiring unique shades.
Surface Types: Smooth vs. Patterned
PVC conveyor belts are categorized into smooth-surface and patterned-surface types, differing in surface/backing textures. The choice depends on the operating environment and specific functional requirements, as they vary significantly in application, wear resistance, adaptability, and frictional properties.
1. Smooth-Surface Belts:
- Ideal for horizontal conveying of materials.
- Features: Smooth texture, lower friction.
2. Patterned-Surface Belts:
- Designed for specialized applications. Examples include:
- Green grass-pattern belts: Suited for inclined conveying.
- Green chevron-pattern belts with guide strips: Enables high-speed inclined conveying.
- Other patterns like straight stripes or guide stripes cater to diverse conveying needs.
Additional Customizations
PVC conveyor belts can also be tailored with properties such as anti-static, oil-resistant, or high-hardness features.
