A Guide to Pattern, Hardness, and Adhesion of the Pulley Lagging Rubber Sheets

Image
  Conveyor systems have the overall responsibility of increasing the productivity of the industry by making the material handling process easy. For smooth and efficient material handling, they require good-quality pulley lagging rubber sheets. These pulley lagging rubber sheets not only improve the friction between the belt and the pulley but also minimize belt slippage . In this blog, we are going to discuss more about their pattern, hardness, and adhesion! More About Pulley Lagging Rubber Sheets: Pattern, Hardness, and Adhesion Pattern The pattern of the pulley lagging rubber sheeting directly influences the kind of friction it provides. They are available in different surface textures to serve different conditions. Plain and smooth pattern of pulley lagging rubber sheets are for non drive pulleys . This pattern is common in applications where tension is low. The diamond pattern pulley lagging sheet has grooves all over it. It increases traction to a great extent. On the oth...

  Chemical swelling and degradation come hand-in-hand with oil-prone applications in the industries. Regular conveyor belts become victims of chemical swelling and degradation by absorbing grease, oils, and other fluids. This is where an oil-resistant conveyor belt comes to your rescue. Let us see how it is resistant to such conditions, even with the exposure to these liquids. Is Your Oil-Resistant Conveyor Belt Chemical Swelling and Degradation-Proof? What is chemical swelling? Chemical swelling is the process by which a regular conveyor belt absorbs chemicals, oils, grease, fats, and other substances. This absorption forces the polymer chains in the rubber apart. As a result, the rubber material starts to expand. What is chemical degradation? Chemical degradation is the process by which the rubber conveyor belts eventually deteriorate in the long run. This happens when the physical and chemical properties of the belts hamper. Exposure to oils, chemicals, and others is respons...

  Are you wondering why your natural rubber sheets are wearing out so quickly?  Can you see signs of damage, such as stains, cracks, or swelling of the rubber sheets? Do you know the reasons behind it? Little things you are doing regularly may have a large impact on your natural rubber sheets. Check out this blog to know: User Guidelines: Avoid Using Natural Rubber Sheets in These Areas Extremely High Operational Temperature Natural rubber sheet temperature range for high temperatures is up to +70 degrees centigrade. Thus, areas having operational temperatures more than 70 degrees centigrade negatively impact the rubber sheets. The natural rubber sheeting starts to swell or melt in such high temperatures found in mining . Extremely Low Operational Temperature Natural rubber sheets can endure low temperatures up to -30 degrees centigrade. If you use them for operations that require lower temperatures, they tend to become brittle. Eventually, the natural rubber sheeting will st...

5 Industries that Can't Operate Without a High Temperature Silicone Rubber Sheet

Image
  You will be shocked to know about the versatility of a high temperature silicone rubber sheet . Starting from the food-processing sectors to electronics , silicone sheets are all the way! Some common high temp silicone sheet applications include sealing, gaskets , covers, and others. However, it seems like a few industries cannot function properly without a high temperature silicone sheet. Read to know more: Which Sectors Are Completely Dependent on a High Temperature Silicone Rubber Sheet? Food-processing Industry The food-processing industry demands hygiene before anything else. A high temperature silicone rubber sheet is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved. It has good chemical and oil resistance . As a result, the high temperature silicone sheet does not produce toxic substrates after being exposed to organic acids, fats, and oils common in this industry. What are their applications in the food-processing industry? Seals in food containers Linings in confectionery ...
