Producing conveyor belts that are resistant to the deteriorating effects of oil, grease, and other petroleum-based materials is the specialty of a manufacturer of oil resistant conveyor belts. These belts are perfect for industries where regular contact with oils and chemicals occurs because they are made of materials such as nitrile rubber (NBR) or a blend of synthetic rubber compounds that offer high resistance to oil penetration.
Conveyor belts that are resistant to oil are widely utilized in several industries, including food processing, where edible oils are handled, automotive manufacturing, recycling facilities, petrochemical and chemical plants, and automotive industry for moving oily metal parts. Even in severe environments, the belts' resistance to swelling, softening, and cracking ensures a long service life.
Different varieties of belts, like flat, cleated, or modular designs, are usually offered by manufacturers to fulfill certain operational requirements. Additionally, they prioritize offering belts with strong tensile strength, superior flexibility, and temperature tolerance. Based on the demands of the business, customization options are frequently offered, such as certain belt widths, thicknesses, and cover grades.
