PTFE Conveyor and Process Belts for High-Temperature Lines
PTFE belts are used on food processing conveyors, drying and curing ovens, lamination lines, non-stick belts, and New Zealand production lines where reliable release, heat resistance, and smooth product transfer are needed. Brown International supplies PTFE belts in constructions suited to conveying, drying, bonding, and heat-sealing applications across food, textile, packaging, and industrial processes.
Main Types
• Solid PTFE belts: Used where a smooth, continuous belt surface is needed for conveying and heat-processing applications.
• Open-mesh PTFE belts: Used where airflow is required through the belt for drying, curing, and ventilation-driven processes.
• Edge-reinforced belts: Used where extra belt edge strength and improved handling are needed on the line.
• Joint options: Available in typical endless, overlap, and mechanical splice formats to suit the machine setup and installation method.
Key Properties
PTFE belts offer high temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and a non-stick surface that helps reduce product adhesion and cleaning time. They are also widely used in food processing because PTFE is generally recognised as safe for food contact, and the belt construction can be selected to suit different widths, thicknesses, and mesh requirements.
Typical Applications
PTFE belts are commonly used for grilling, baking, drying, laminating, and curing where controlled product movement and reliable release are important. Closed-weave belts suit smooth conveying and heat-transfer applications, while open-mesh belts suit drying and curing processes that need airflow through the belt.
Typical Line Setups
• Bakery lines: Closed-weave PTFE belts are commonly used for baking and transfer sections where product release and clean handling matter.
• Snack packaging: Closed-weave PTFE belts are used on sealing and conveying sections where a smooth non-stick surface helps reduce drag and marking.
• Textile dryers: Open-mesh PTFE belts are used where airflow through the belt supports drying and curing.
• Lamination lines: Closed-weave PTFE belts are used where even support and controlled release are required in heated pressing or laminating sections.
• Curing ovens: Open-mesh PTFE belts are used where heat and air circulation need to pass through the belt during processing.

PTFE belts combine strength, durability, and specialised surface properties, making them essential in industries where high temperatures, chemical exposure, and non-stick performance are critical. Their versatility is reflected in the range of available constructions - from solid to open mesh - tailored to specific process requirements.
Brown International can supply PTFE coated belts sourced from trusted manufacturers, with constructions selected to suit specific process requirements. If you need help matching a belt to a machine, process temperature, or product type, we can help narrow down the right option.
