For the primary process, Bandtransport Europe offers 3, 5 and 7-ply natural rubber conveyor belts for the processing of tobacco. By application of the right combinations of fabrics, covers and profiles, these belts can be very broadly utilised in the entire primary process.

Fabplast® halogen-free belts

We also offer the right belts for secondary processing. Our halogen-free Fabplast® conveyor belts are non-toxic: Pyrolysis tests have shown that even at combustion at temperatures of above 800°C, no hazardous compounds or elements – such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, sulphur or fluorine – are formed. This is an absolute must in connection with the increasingly strict requirements in regard to tobacco processing.

Properties of our Fabplast® tobacco belts:

  • Halogen-free, pyrolysis resistant
  • Good release properties (very little contamination)
  • Mechanically strong
  • Excellent wear-resistance
  • Flexible (optimal performance, even on smaller pulley diameters)
  • Usable at low temperatures
  • Good resistance against humidity
  • Excellent chemical resistance (against solvents, oil and grease, acids and bases)
  • Excellent adhesion of joints and cleats – belts have a long service life
  • Easy to clean

Various constructions

Depending on the application, we offer various cover profiles and finishes. Thickness, selection of material, tear and breaking strength all depend on the application in the factory. As required, our Fabplast® material can be fitted with a profile. Our profiling machine can be utilised to emboss part of a full slab of conveyor belt material with a profile. Commonly used profiles in the tobacco industry are the saw tooth profile, the wave profile and the large nipple profile.
