Silicone is a synthetic polymer. Its molecular structure is distinctive. The molecules are comprised of silicone atoms which are bonded to each other via oxygen atoms. This combination of a typically inorganic structure and organic components makes silicone a unique type of material the special characteristics of which cannot be achieved by any other plastic.
Silicones can be subdivided into different groups. While silicone oils and resins are, for instance, used to produce paints, silicone rubbers are used for endless belts. They are used in both wet and dry areas and can – in combination with the right carcass – be used in extreme cold, down to -50°C, and extreme heat, up to +300°C.
Silicones are very well suited for direct contact with food and for hygiene applications since they are recognized as physiologically safe. The latter fact is underlined by the increased use of silicone in cooking utensils. Another characteristic to be highlighted for the material’s use as belt coating is its toughness which results in very good abrasion resistance while offering a high friction coefficient. Silicones have good chemical stability, are UV-resistant, and do not become brittle.
S-5108
THE UNIVERSAL CONVEYOR BELT WITH SILICONE
Beim Silikonband S-5108 kommt als Trägermaterial Baumwolle zum Einsatz, was einen geringen Reibwert ermöglicht, der das Band ideal für den Einsatz mit starren Messerkanten macht. Als universelles und flexibles Transportband ist es sehr gut geeignet für dynamische Bandwaagen. Dank der Silikonbeschichtung ist es hitze- und kältestabil und selbstverständlich für den direkten Lebensmittelkontakt.

S-5115
THE POWERFU L CONVEYOR BELT WITH SILICONE
With its low friction coefficient on the textile side thanks to its cotton content, the S-5115 is the stronger version of the S-5108. The fact that the belt bends slightly less readily gives it more power and force as well as high tensile strength. It is optimally suited for slider beds. Thanks to its silicone coating, it also has very good resistance against oil, grease, and chemicals.
