Conveyor belts are perfect tools for factories and warehouses where heavy items need to be transferred between locations. They serve to transport goods, but without having to lift it. Another notable type of conveyor belt that comes in handy is the EPDM conveyor belt. It is designed using solid, reusable quality material that enables this belt to be effective over the long run without wearing out.
EPDM: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer This is a very strong, flexible type of rubber. This type of rubber is unique for its ability to withstand heat, weather and chemical damage. EPDM is produced by blending different materials together. This process produces a very hard rubber, with which conveyor belts are made of. EPDM is an outstanding material across a wide range of industrial applications due to its exceptional properties.
With that, the EPDM conveyor belts are made to increase the efficiency and smoothly running of factories. Efficiency, simply put, is of performing tasks in the fastest and most effective manner. They play an important part in reducing downtime, when machines are not in a working condition and increase the productivity of the workers. These conveyor belts are, for instance, resistant to damage in situations that involve dangerous substances being used (like oils and chemicals). That is, belts do not need to be replaced or repaired frequently due to this strength which saves time and money for the factory.
This is one of the top advantages to using EPDM rubber, as it excels at resisting atmosphere and aging. Even, the conveyor belts constructed from EPDM can be used for ages regardless of hot or wet disposition. They can twist and stretch without snapping, which matters when they have to be loaded down. This flexibility causes an EPDM conveyor belt to be used in various types of jobs, without any massive damage. They can tote around heavy objects for extended periods without it shredding or falling apart.
Because conveyor belts are constantly in motion, they endure much wear and tear from all the lifting of heavy things. Over the long haul, this consistent development can harm it. On the other hand, EPDM rubber is extremely durable and has excellent wear resistance. This means conveyor belts built from excellent EPDM rubber do not wear quickly or lose performance for long periods. You can eliminate hours of equipment downtime for lost productivity because they do not shred or form holes partially like the rubber does. This strength gives factories the continuity of operation without disruption.
There are multiple advantages of EPDM conveyor belts over the other types of conveyor belts available in the market. Such as, they last long, resist damage and help in enhancing the operational efficiency. They are also quite resistant to chemicals and oils, making them ideal for many industrial applications. Moreover, EPDM rubber is environmentally friendly and recyclable. These days, it is a key attribute for many companies in order to be more environmental-friendly.
