People may be very curious when they hear about the EP conveyor belt, and they don't know what the EP conveyor belt is, but in fact, the EP conveyor belt is what we call the polyester conveyor belt, which is made of polyurethane. When comparing with nylon conveyor belts, the difference between EP conveyor belts and nylon conveyor belts is mainly in three aspects: the yarn pattern of the section, the state when burned with fire, and the thickness of the strength grade when the same level. Next, this article will briefly introduce the difference between EP conveyor belt and nylon conveyor belt, if you are interested, take a look!
1. What is the material of the EP conveyor belt?
The so-called EP is polyurethane, EP conveyor belt is polyester conveyor belt, its tensile body is warp polyester, weft is polyester sail surface interwoven with cotton fiber, its performance characteristics are low extension of warp direction and excellent groove performance of weft direction, good water resistance, wet strength does not decrease, no mildew, the initial modulus of polyester is high, and a lower safety factor can be taken, which is suitable for conveying materials under medium and long distance high load and high-speed conditions.
2. What is the difference between EP conveyor belt and nylon conveyor belt?
EP conveyor belt and nylon conveyor belt seem to be difficult to distinguish, but we also have a way, the two in the cross-sectional yarn pattern, the state of fire and the same strength level when the thickness is different, the following is a detailed introduction:
1. From the perspective of cross-sectional yarn lines, the nylon conveyor belt is relatively compact, and the EP conveyor belt has a relatively large yarn bending degree from the side, and the distance between the two peaks is relatively large.
2. From the point of view of the combustion state when burning with fire, if you want to identify whether the material of the skeleton layer is NN or EP, you can use a simple method to burn with fire: ignite the monofilament of the skeleton layer, burn and emit black smoke is EP, and burn slowly without black smoke is NN (nylon fiber).
3. From the point of view of thickness, compared with the nylon conveyor belt with the same strength grade and the EP conveyor belt, the NN conveyor belt is a little thinner. The NN belt is a little softer than the EP belt.
