TUFF TEMP Corp. has designed and developed a family of unique high temperature resistant belting products that are ideal for use as conveyor belting within the hot end of primary glass plants and aluminum extrusion plants
For conveyance applications in severe manufacturing processes such as hot glass and or hot aluminum, conveyor belting must exhibit superior temperature resistance, superior cut and abrasion resistance, and superior mechanical performance. Conveyor belting must also be totally non-marking and be safe for the finish quality of the customer's product.
We understand that our customers are typically running their manufacturing plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Any downtime that the customer experiences in manufacturing is unrecapturable, permanently lost revenue. With that mindset, our focus is to supply the longest lasting, most durable conveyor belts in the world, so that our customers can achieve the longest continuous production runs, with minimal costly maintenance down-time.
TUFF TEMP's line of conveyor belting products has been uniquely engineered to meet all of these criteria, and it is our mission to provide our customers with the absolute longest belting wear life.
HIGH-DENSITY, MULTI-LAYERED CONSTRUCTIONS:
Superior engineered conveyor belting starts with utilizing specialty high temperature resistant yarns. TUFF TEMP utilizes mechanically enhanced 100% Kevlar yarns, and other high temperature resistant specialty fibers such as PBI, PBO and Stainless Steel. Next, we construct our conveyor belting utilizing high-density, multi-layered weaving, to create thick, tough, and ultra-durable woven belts up to 24" wide (610 mm) and 38" thick (9 mm). Next, we apply in-house, one of our value-added finishing treatments to the belting to enhance the end use durability and further strengthen the mechanical performance.
The end result of these manufacturing efforts is that we have pushed TUFF TEMP conveyor belts well beyond the normal temperature ratings of the base fibers.
Belt Lacing is also available
For intermittent contact applications such as conveyance of hot glass and hot aluminum extrusions, TUFF TEMP conveyor belting has proven temperature resistance up to 1, 400 F 760 C.
TUFF TEMP conveyor belting is typically used within the hot end of glass Pressware and Hollowware plants to convey hot ware from the press molds in the Forming section, up to the entrance of the annealing lehr. Ware contact temperatures on our belting can typically exceed 1, 300 F 690 C TUFF TEMP conveyor belting is used in the hot end by many of the leading TV Glass manufacturers, and Tableware and Ovenware manufacturers, where glass contact temperatures are amongst the hottest in the industry
