How to choose the pitch and material of modular plastic belt

When selecting the pitch and material of a modular plastic mesh belt, we need to consider multiple factors to ensure it meets specific application requirements. The following is a detailed selection guide:

I. Selection of Pitch

Pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent modules on the belt, usually expressed in millimeters (mm). When selecting a pitch, the following factors need to be considered:

Size and shape of the object to be conveyed: Ensure that the pitch of the mesh belt can accommodate and stably convey the object, avoiding slipping or tilting during the conveying process.
Conveying speed and stability: The size of the pitch can affect the stability and conveying speed of the conveyor belt. A larger pitch may increase the conveying speed, but may also reduce stability. Therefore, when selecting the pitch, it is necessary to weigh the relationship between conveying speed and stability.
According to our experience, common pitches include 10.2mm, 12.7mm, 19.05mm, 25mm, 25.4mm, 27.2mm, 38.1mm, 50.8mm, 57.15mm, etc. These pitches can meet most application requirements. However, the specific pitch selection needs to be determined based on the actual application scenario.

II. Selection of Materials

The material of the modular plastic mesh belt directly affects its service life, load-bearing capacity, and chemical stability. When selecting the material, the following factors need to be considered:

Environment: Different environments have different requirements for the material of the mesh belt. For example, if the mesh belt needs to work in high temperature, high humidity or corrosive environments, it is necessary to choose a material that is resistant to high temperature, humidity and corrosion.
Bearing capacity: The material and thickness of the mesh belt will affect its bearing capacity. If you need to carry heavier objects, you need to choose a mesh belt with a thicker material and higher strength.
Chemical stability: The mesh belt may come into contact with various chemicals during use, such as detergents and grease. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a material with good chemical stability to ensure that the mesh belt is not damaged by chemical erosion.

Common modular plastic mesh belt materials include PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), POM (polyoxymethylene), NYLON (nylon), etc. These materials have their own characteristics, such as PP material with high chemical resistance and heat resistance, and PE material with good cold resistance and wear resistance. When selecting materials, it is necessary to determine according to the actual application scenarios and requirements.

In summary, the selection of the pitch and material of the modular plastic mesh belt needs to be determined based on specific application scenarios and requirements. During the selection process, we need to consider factors such as the size and shape of the object, conveying speed and stability, usage environment, load capacity, and chemical stability to ensure that the selected mesh belt can meet the actual application requirements.
