PTFE Conveyor Belt, or polytetrafluoroethylene conveyor belts, are renowned for their exceptional non-stick properties and high temperature resistance, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. These belts are particularly useful in environments where a high degree of chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low friction are required.
We are extensively used in food processing, where their non-stick nature prevents food items from adhering to the belt, making cleaning processes simpler and more efficient. They are also prevalent in the packaging and textile industries, as well as in the production of chemicals where belts must resist corrosive substances.

PTFE Conveyor Belt
PTFE coated Glass Fabric for Conveyor Belting
Most belts are made from electrical, premium or standard grade fabrics, especially where fabric weave impression is undesirable or where sticky or gummy materials are being conveyed. Industrial and mechanical grade PTFE coated conveyor belts are preferred where economy is more important than maximum resistance to chemicals or solvents. Crease and tear resistant PTFE coated conveyor belts are suggested for higher speeds such as for packaging belts.
Closed weave porous belts and open mesh PTFE belts are specified for applications where porosity is required as in drying applications (e.g. textile dryer belts) or microwave cooking ovens. Our anti-static range is used where static build up may occur such as in fuse press applications.
Screen Printing PTFE coated glass fabrics
GCTC is the market leader in Teflon conveyor belts, which are suitable for use in various ovens and curing equipment. Our company uses the professional equipment built by our own engineering team to custom design and produce all our belts.
The main material type used in these styles of conveyor belts is PTFE-coated open mesh. The mesh size ranges from 1mm to 5mm openings, of which 4mm is our most common. We can specify the standard brown or antistatic black type, depending on the type of dryer they are installed.
We produce belts with a maximum width of 5000mm in a mesh size of 4mm, which allows us to provide belts for most machine width conveyors on the market today.
We have installed many types of fasteners for conveyor-specific belts, including helical metal and soft materials, as well as Kevlar shaped bull nose rings. Both designs can achieve a strong joint and have maximum airflow, thereby maximizing the dryness of the entire belt surface.
Our Teflon conveyor belt can run in an environment of 260 ° C, and can use UV, IR and hot-air drying methods as the heat source.
We can provide a variety of different belt guide anti-overflow practice options, which can be installed on the edge of the belt to help constant belt positioning in the dryer. These anti-pass devices and practices are related to cost and usage, and can be specified in the design stage.

As leading manufacturers and suppliers. Choosing the right
Temperature Range: Ensure the belt can withstand the operating temperatures of your processes.
Belt Thickness and Width: Specific applications may require different thicknesses and widths, so it's crucial to match these parameters to your needs.
Chemical Resistance: Consider the types of chemicals the belt will be exposed to and ensure compatibility.
Q: How long do typically last?
A: The lifespan of depends on the operating conditions but generally, they are highly durable and can last for years under proper maintenance.
Q: Can repaired if damaged?
A: Yes, minor damages can often be repaired, though major damages might require a complete replacement.
Advancements in the products market focus on improving the durability and efficiency of these belts. Recent innovations include enhanced edge reinforcements for greater wear resistance and new formulations that increase the belt's resistance to environmental stressors.
The manufacturing of products involves specialized techniques to embed the PTFE coating evenly across the belt's surface, ensuring consistent performance. The process includes the careful selection of base materials and precise control of coating applications, typically under strict quality assurance standards.
