PTFE Conveyor Belts
PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belts
PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belts are made from high quality open mesh woven fiberglass coated with ptfe resin. The open mesh area allows maximum air flow optimising drying times. Designed to operate in extremes of both temperature and chemical exposure, ptfe mesh belts have been a natural choice for dryer manufactures.
It is ideally suited for conveying products and is commonly used in a wide variety of industries, such as gas, electric, infrared(IR), radio frequency(RF), microwave and ultraviolet(UV) conveyorized drying operations.
For different sizes of mesh material, please refer to our PTFE Open Mesh Fabrics.
Advantages to other stainless steel and plastic belts:
- Cost Savings: PTFE belts are less expensive to purchase and, due to their low relative mass, can be operated utilizing a simpler, less
expensive pulley and drive system
- Energy Savings: PTFE belts provide better heat transfer and absorb less energy
- Lower Maintenance Costs: PTFE belts are non-stick and easy to clean
Joint Styles
To assure the best performance and accurate tracking, we recommend that wherever possible, conveyor belts be ordered with splices. We offer all the standard splices.
Please call our technical service department to discuss which splice would be best for your specific application.

Edge Reinforcement Styles
- PTFE Film - PTFE film encapsulates the edge the help stop fraying and offer protection. The advantage to using film is that it is soft in nature and will stretch with the belt when under tension.
- PTFE Coated Fiberglass - PTFE coated fiberglass edging can be used as a sturdier option to film and a good option if a tracking arm is used to detect the edge of the belt when coming in to contact with it.
- PTFE Coated Kevlar - This is the most durable of the edging types and is a good option when the edge of the belt will be in contact with tracking aids. It is also a good option when considering using tracking studs of cord on the belt.
