What is flame retardant conveyor belt
2024-03-25 09:34In June last year, our company shipped a 65-meter flame-retardant conveyor belt with a bandwidth of 1200mm to a coal mine in Kenya. It is mainly used for underground transportation of coal mines. It is also suitable for metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power, steel, pharmaceuticals, etc. industry.
This flame-retardant conveyor belt has features such as high strength, wear resistance, antistatic, waterproof, flame retardant, etc., making it particularly suitable in high-risk environments. Due to its fire-resistant properties, flame-retardant conveyor belts play an important role in preventing the spread of fire and improving production efficiency and safety. This flame-retardant conveyor belt reaches the point where the burning area shall not exceed 10m² within 5 minutes, no open flames, and no dripping , The burning time shall not exceed 15 seconds.
Flame retardant conveyor belt is a special tape that could prevent the spread of fire. During the manufacturing process it uses the flame retardant material that can resist the flames of burning and spread, to reduce injury or damage to the personnel or the equipment of the fire hazard to ensure the working environment.
Flame retardant conveyor belt is widely used in many fields included the following main fields:
1. Mining industry: in coal mines, gold mines, iron mines and other mines, flame retardant conveyor belt is widely used in transporting coal, ore and other minerals. Due to the ore and coal both are flammable so we can use the flame retardant conveyor belt to reduce the risk of fire accidents and protect the equipment and the personnel.
2. Ports industry: during the cargo loading and unloading process, the flame retardant conveyor belt is used in transporting goods such as coal, bulk materials, containers and etc. Because of the ports is the important logistics hubs, there are various of cargo some of the cargo with flammable. Thereby, using the flame retardant conveyor belt could reduce the risk of fire accidents during the operation in the ports to ensure the cargo could transport stably.
3. Steel industry: Flame retardant conveyor belt plays an important role in the steel production process. In the high temperature environment, the steelmaking, casting and continuous casting will generate a large number of sparks and high temperature materials. Using flame retardant conveyor belt can control the spread of fire, protect the equipment and the personnel.
4. Power generation industry: in the power plants, coal-fired is the common way of generating electricity. Due to coal-fired has flammable, coal-fired conveyor belt is often used in transporting the coal. Flame retardant conveyor belt could extinguish fires in time during the coal-fired transportation . and prevent the spread of fire to ensure the power plant can operate stably.
Except the above main fields, flame retardant conveyor belt is still widely used in other industries such as building materials, chemical industry, metallurgy, food processing etc. In these industries, the transportation of all kinds of flammable materials or the hazardous chemicals is common operation, using flame retardant conveyor belt could avoid the occurrence of fire.
