Dura-Belt’s
Low Temperature Belts are probably the only elastic belts
that work at extremely low temperatures. These round, cold resistant
belts are composed of an external silicone jacket and an internal
metal spring. The cold resistant spring provides the elasticity,
while the flexible jacket is actually under compression, so it
does not have to be elastic. Dura-Belt’s ultra cold resistant
belts (also called Jacketed Spring Belts*) work down to -70oF
(-56oC). For light duty only (3 lbs per roller).
For temperatures from 0oF
to -40oF (-17oC to -40oC) we
recommend our solid Hytrel ® belts, stretch 9%. They have a
good elastic memory, but they must not be overstretched, and they
have only fair abrasion resistance. At low temperatures, however, abrasion is usually
not an issue. They work well in ice cream plants.
For temperatures from 32oF
to -5oF (0oC to -20oC) we recommend our
solid Low Temperature Urethane belting (Cyclothane-E), stretch
10% to 14%. It has an excellent elastic memory and is very abrasion
resistant. Thousands are being use in meat packing plants.
Our low temperature belts (also called Jacketed Spring Belts)
are available as endless belts or connectable belts.
