How to Select Heat-Resistant Conveyor Belts Suitable for High-Temperature Environments? Key Parameters and Selection Guide
2025-12-19

In high-temperature operating conditions, selecting heat-resistant conveyor belts with stable performance remains a core challenge for industrial users. This article provides an in-depth analysis of key parameters—including heat resistance ratings and reinforcement materials—for critical products such as oil-resistant conveyor belts and corrugated sidewall belts. It offers professional guidance for technical selection, helping engineering decision-makers mitigate equipment wear risks.


I. Analysis of Key Technical Parameters for Heat-Resistant Conveyor Belts

The performance of heat-resistant conveyor belts directly impacts their service life and safety in high-temperature environments. Core parameters include:


Heat resistance rating: Classified under ISO 4195 standard into four grades: T1 (≤100°C), T2 (≤125°C), T3 (≤150°C), T4 (≤175°C)

Skeleton Material: EP polyester canvas (withstands 150°C), steel cord core (withstands 200°C), or aramid fibre (withstands over 300°C)

Cover compound formulation: SBR/CR rubber base with heat-resistant carbon black and antioxidants

II. Specialised Applications for Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belts

Corrugated sidewall conveyor belts demonstrate three key advantages in high-temperature material handling due to their unique wave-shaped sidewall design:


Application    Temperature Range    Recommended Model

Cement clinker handling    80–200°C BW-J300 Type

Metallurgical slag processing    150-400℃    BW-G500 Type

III. Composite Applications of Oil-Resistant and Heat-Resistant Conveyor Belts

In petrochemical and food processing environments requiring both high-temperature resistance and oil resistance, NBR/PVC composite oil-resistant conveyor belts simultaneously fulfil:


Withstand 120℃ high-temperature steam cleaning

Resist penetration by mineral oils, animal and vegetable fats

Meet FDA food-grade certification

IV. Five Golden Rules for Selection Decision-Making

For technical evaluators and project managers, we summarise the following selection methodology:


Temperature Matching Principle: Actual operating temperature should be 20-30℃ below the rated temperature tolerance

Dynamic Wear Calculation: Rubber ageing rate doubles for every 10℃ temperature increase

Economic Evaluation: T4-grade products cost 40% more than T1-grade but offer 3-5 times longer service life
