Why does the oil sands industry need oil resistant conveyor belts

2023-10-06

Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water, clay and a dense type of petroleum called bitumen, which requires the use of specialized techniques to separate the bitumen from sand and other materials.Ordinary conveyor belts have poor tolerance to various oils and organic solvents. When transporting oily materials, due to the swelling and erosion of the oil on the adhesive, the surface colloidal volume increases, the structure is relaxed, the physical and mechanical properties are reduced, and the service life of the product is shortened.

Our conveyor belt covers with nitrile rubber with excellent oil resistance, reinforcement materials can be selected according to the different needs of customers.

Covering adhesive is made of nitrile gum with high acrylonitrile content as the main material, with canvas, nylon canvas or polyester canvas as the strong layer. Suitable for transport of oily materials or contact with various working oil environment. It has the advantages of low volume change rate, high strength and wide range of use. Reducing the loss of the conveyor belt can also prevent the shutdown caused by frequent damage to the conveyor belt and reduce production costs.
