Felt conveyor belts, also known as felt belts, are widely used in various industrial fields, particularly in cutting machines, logistics, steel plate processing, printing, and packaging industries. This type of conveyor belt has become an ideal choice in many industrial scenarios due to its unique performance advantages.
From the perspective of categories, felt conveyor belts can be divided into various types based on different processes and applications. After understanding these categories, let’s examine the characteristics that various industries value most when selecting felt belts. Taking the cutting machine and steel plate industries as examples, the actual application value of felt belts can be well reflected.
In the cutting machine industry, especially in the field of automatic cutting machines and CNC cutting machines, felt conveyor belts play a key role. This type of equipment is primarily used in the production and processing of clothing, as well as in packaging and other related industries. Since the cutting knife needs to contact the surface of the conveyor belt directly, this requires the conveyor belt to have excellent cutting resistance. At the same time, the characteristics of lightweight materials that are easy to float require the conveyor belt to have good air suction characteristics. In addition, the cutting equipment’s requirement for precise positioning requires not only the support of the electrical system, but also the need for the conveyor belt to have low ductility and a non-slip surface. It is these comprehensive requirements that make felt conveyor belts the first choice for automated cutting equipment.
In the steel plate processing industry, felt conveyor belts are primarily used in horizontal and vertical shearing equipment, as well as stamping equipment, which are crucial steps in the processing of steel plate raw materials. The materials processed by the shearing equipment are usually sharp, which requires the conveyor belt to have multiple characteristics such as cut resistance, impact resistance, wear resistance and oil resistance. For stamping equipment, the rapid fall of the product requires the conveyor belt to have strong impact resistance. At the same time, considering the smooth and fragile surface of the steel plate, the conveyor belt must also be soft enough to avoid scratching the product surface during processing.
In general, based on these industry application characteristics, we can summarize the main characteristics of felt conveyor belts: excellent cut resistance, wear resistance and puncture resistance; soft texture and not easy to scratch the product; strong bending (except single-sided felt); high tension and low elongation; high surface friction; and good air permeability.
With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, conveyor belts will be more and more widely used in various industries. With its multiple advantages, felt conveyor belts will undoubtedly play a significant role in various fields and provide reliable conveying solutions for industrial production.
