In harsh chemical processing environments, where exposure to extreme temperatures, corrosive substances and abrasive materials is the norm, choosing the right conveyor system is critical. Our PureSteel® belts are the ideal solution for these demanding conditions, offering unmatched durability, chemical inertness and resistance to heat.
Uncompromised Durability in Harsh Environments
Synthetic belts struggle to maintain integrity in the presence of caustic chemicals, high heat or abrasive particles. In contrast, stainless steel belts excel, enduring the rigors of chemical manufacturing without degradation. Their resilience extends the lifespan of conveyor systems, reduces downtime, and minimizes maintenance—critical factors in maintaining operational efficiency.
For engineers designing for harsh chemical environments, stainless steel belts provide the durability and reliability needed to keep production lines running smoothly. Whether handling corrosive acids or enduring vacuum conditions, these belts maintain their performance, protecting both product quality and system integrity.
Cleanroom-Compatible and Contamination-Free
PureSteel® belts are naturally hygienic. They resist corrosion and don’t generate particulates, outgassing or the need for lubricants, making them cleanroom compatible. This is essential for processes requiring high purity, such as manufacturing components for pharmaceuticals, semiconductors or batteries. Easy to clean and sterilize, stainless steel belts ensure contamination risks are minimized, safeguarding both the product and the environment.
Precision and Efficiency
Chemical processing often requires the precise handling of materials. Stainless steel belts offer pitch accuracy within +/-0.025 mm, enabling smooth, accurate and pulsation-free motion. This precision is critical in applications like battery manufacturing, where handling sensitive components such as electrodes or separators demands exactness to maintain product integrity.
Tailored Solutions for Demanding Applications
With options for custom alloys and coatings, our PureSteel® belts can be adapted to meet specific chemical resistance, temperature tolerance or corrosion resistance requirements. As this case study shows, this versatility allows engineers to design systems optimized for the unique challenges of their applications.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency
While stainless steel belts may involve a higher initial investment, their durability and minimal maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective choice over time. Reduced downtime and longer service life translate to lower total costs and increased productivity—a crucial advantage for competitive manufacturing operations.
