ARAMID & GLASS FIBERS

Conveyor belts used in textile and screen-printing applications must meet specific requirements, such as high temperature resistance, dimensional stability and durability.

Two of the most common materials used for their construction are aramid fabrics and glass fiber fabrics, often coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Aramid fabrics, such as Nomex® and Kevlar®, are appreciated for their high thermal and mechanical resistance.

These materials maintain their structural properties even at high temperatures, making them ideal for applications where heat is a critical factor.

For example, Nomex® belts are commonly used in relax dryers to dry, shrink and stabilize fabrics without applying tension, operating at temperatures between 150°C and 230°C.
