Antistatic Synthetic Mesh Belts
Anti Static Conveyor Belt Description
Under certain conditions of temperature and humidity, the equipment using a polyester mesh belt will produce high friction electrostatic when it runs at a high speed. Although the static current is usually of low intensity, it can be the cause of problems like when light pieces of product stay adhered to the surface of the belt which reduces the efficiency and product quality, or combustion risk in environments sensitive to deflagration.
The accumulation of electrostatic charges can be dangerous for different reasons:
There is a risk of fire and explosion in an environment with a large number of combustible materials.
Produce radio interference, which may cause damage to electrical equipment.
Workers are at risk of electrical injury when they touch the conveyor belt or something being conveyed.
In order to solve these potential hazards, PFM Screen designed these antistatic mesh conductive belts to drive and dissipate surface static electricity accumulate during operation. The antistatic mesh conductive belts are woven from polyester monofilament and carbon or copper wire with good conductivity. There is a conductive fiber through the polyester anti-static fabrics which can release the friction electrostatic, thus play a role in anti-static.
