Nonstick Release

PTFE and silicone coated belting surfaces provide reliable release for high-temperature conveying, food processing, heat sealing, and production applications.

Heat Resistance

Engineered belt constructions support consistent performance in demanding environments involving heat, pressure, and continuous operation.

Dimensional Stability

Strong coated fiberglass substrates help belts maintain shape, tracking, and performance during high-speed and high-temperature processing.

Durability

Durable coating systems and reinforced constructions help extend belt life in abrasive, repetitive, and production-driven applications.

Premium

Heavy PTFE coating provides easy release, high chemical resistance and electrical strength.

Standard

Smooth surface with excellent nonstick properties. The most widely used PTFE-glass belt grade.

Mechanical & Economy

Light PTFE coating for economical applications where increased surface texture is useful.

Crease & Tear Resistant

Substantially higher tear strength for high-speed applications.

Anti-Static / Conductive

Specially treated fabric helps reduce static build-up.

Porous / Open Mesh

Allows airflow through the belt to promote drying, curing and bonding of inks, pigments and powders.

Silicone Rubber Coated

Excellent release up to 500°F with superior abrasion, flex and chemical resistance.

Two-Ply
Belts

Two plies of PTFE coated fiberglass are laminated together with staggered splices to provide smooth, continuous thickness along the entire belt length. This helps provide a uniform seal in packaging and heat sealing applications. Belts are typically available in widths of 1/2” to 3”.

Temperature Range

PTFE and silicone rubber coated belts can withstand continuous temperatures from -100°F to 500°F.

Pliability

Pulley diameter is critical. Thinner materials, including 0.010” and under, are more pliable than heavier coated fabrics.

Release Qualities

Surface finishes range from rough, semi-porous finishes to super smooth release surfaces.

Strength

Tensile and tear strength should match the load weight, belt speed and tension of the application.

What are PTFE coated conveyor belts used for?

PTFE conveyor belts are used in applications requiring non-stick release, heat resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, airflow, and dependable conveying performance. Common uses include food processing, heat sealing, packaging, drying, curing, laminating, and high temperature industrial processing.

What temperature can PTFE belts withstand?

Many Taconic PTFE and silicone rubber coated belts are designed for continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F, depending on the belt construction, application conditions, and process requirements.

What is the difference between PTFE and silicone conveyor belts?

PTFE coated conveyor belts provide excellent non-stick release, low friction, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. Silicone rubber coated belts offer strong grip, flexibility, abrasion resistance, release performance, and durability where traction or surface control is important.

What are open mesh PTFE coated belts?

Open mesh PTFE belts use an open fabric construction that allows airflow through the belt. They are commonly used in drying, curing, bonding, textile processing, and applications where airflow and heat transfer are important.

What splice options are available?

Taconic offers metallic, non-metallic, endless, and open splice options, including alligator, clipper, PEEK lacing, fabric notched, butt, overlap, and scarfed splice constructions depending on the belt and equipment requirements.

How do I choose the right conveyor belt material?

The right conveyor belt material depends on temperature, pulley diameter, release requirements, airflow, tensile strength, tear strength, belt speed, tracking needs, splice style, edge reinforcement, and whether the application requires PTFE, silicone rubber, porous, open mesh, anti-static, or specialty construction.
