Silicon Belt
During the last few years ITB had developed special technologies for the silicone covering of endless felts and conveyor belts. For this purpose ITB had designed and built some machines which can coat endless felts and conveyor belts up to 3500mm wide and over 20000mm long. The thickness of the silicone may be in excess of 5mm.
The silicone-coated layer can be ground to obtain a smoother surface and an even and uniform thickness with tolerances of ±0.1mm. The application of any type of RTV and HTV silicone is done on tubular fabrics made of polyester, polyamide, acrylic or aramid fibers.
In the textile industry, needled fabrics made of heat-resistant aramid fibres are used for transfer-printing and laminating blankets. Silicone coated belts with very high tensile strength are employed in the most up-to-date decatizing and fixing machines for the wool finishing.
The particular features of silicone, especially its resistance to heat, make it possible to use these belts also for the transport of hot materials in various industries.
