ALUMINUM CAN MANUFACTURING

In Aluminum Can Industry, FIBERFLON® PTFE mesh belts are used in Internal Bake Ovens and Can Washer Dry Off Ovens. The interior of the cans is sprayed with an epoxy coating to prevent corrosion. Internal Bake Ovens cure the epoxy at high temperatures. Our PTFE coated mesh belting ins engineered to resist high temperatures of the process and provides airflow to aid curing. In Can Washer Dry Off Ovens, a PTFE coated Kevlar belt must be used due to its superb moisture resistance.

PTFE BELT ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL STAINLESS-STEEL CONVEYORS:

  • Reduced Belt Replacement Costs
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs
  • Increased Energy Efficiency
  • Extreme Chemical Resistance
  • Less Can Tipping at Transfer Points
