What problems does this industry face?

The insulation materials such as blankets, plates, fiberglass, rock and slag wool, cellulose, and natural fibres to rigid foam boards to sleek foils, are characterised by unique challenges in handling and transporting. All insulation materials are often abrasive, bulky, and require the right conveyor solutions to ensure smooth operations. Traditional conveyor belts might fail to meet these requirements, resulting in higher maintenance frequency, shorter belt lifespans, and disruptions to the manufacturing process.

How does this affect operations?

Conveyor belts used in insulation production require exceptional resistance to abrasion, as the abrasive nature of the materials can quickly wear down the belts, leading to frequent replacements and disruptions in manufacturing. The design of conveyor belts for insulation applications is crucial, with hard top covers and strong force elongation properties ensuring longer belt lifespans and reliable performance. Additionally, the handling and transportation of insulation materials demand very wide PVC conveyor belts. These belts not only accommodate bulkier insulation materials but also contribute to smoother material flow, minimising disruptions and enhancing operational efficiency.
