Abstract

Provided are a heat resistant laminated conveyor belt and manufacturing method thereof by which a belt surface pressure when a liner and corrugated core paper are pressed and bonded together can be increased to thereby enhance a bonding performance. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt comprises a belt core layer 11 made by a heat resistant non-metallic fiber substrate being impregnated with a fluororesin dispersion and then dried and sintered and a surface layer 13 (plain weave wire, etc., for example) formed on the belt core layer 11 via an adhesive layer 12 made by a fluororesin film, the surface layer having a fabric structure using an element wire or wires made of a ferrous metal or having a structure in which the element wire or wires are arranged together. As the surface layer 13 , a fabric structure using an element wire or wires made of a non-ferrous metal, inorganic compound, organic compound or carbon is used or a structure in which the element wire or wires are arranged together (plain weave wire, parallel wire, etc., for example) is used. As the element wires, stranded wires, parallel wires or the like are used.

Claims (24)

1. A heat resistant laminated conveyor belt comprising:

a belt core layer comprising a heat resistant non-metallic fiber substrate which has been impregnated with a fluororesin dispersion, then dried and sintered,

an intermediate layer laminated on said belt core layer via an adhesive layer comprising a fluororesin film,

said intermediate layer comprising a heat resistant non-metallic fiber substrate which has been impregnated with a fluororesin dispersion, then dried and sintered, and

a surface layer laminated on said intermediate layer via an adhesive layer comprising a fluororesin film,

said surface layer having a fabric structure including an element wire or wires comprising a ferrous metal or

said surface layer having a structure in which said element wire or wires are arranged together; and

the surface of the surface layer having a hardness corresponding to steel and having an uneven surface shape, wherein

the fabric structure of said surface layer is formed by lapping said wire or wires one on another such that a warp direction of the fabric structure is arranged in a same direction as a running direction of said belt core layer.

2. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ferrous metal is a steel selected from iron steel, carbon steel or stainless steel.

3. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said heat resistant non-metallic fiber substrate is selected from at least one of a glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramide fiber, aromatic allylate fiber or polyparaphenylenebenzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber.

4. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said adhesive layer is a resin film layer selected from a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, denatured polytetrafluoroethylene (denatured PTFE) resin, tetrafluoroethylene hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP) resin, tetrafluoroethylene perfluoroalkoxyethylene copolymer (PFA) resin, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) resin or ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE) resin.

5. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one or both of said intermediate layer and belt core layer on the inner side of said surface layer are a plurality of layers.

6. A heat resistant laminated conveyor belt manufacturing method comprising:

a first step of forming a belt core layer by impregnating a heat resistant non-metallic fiber with a fluororesin dispersion, then drying and sintering,

a second step of forming an intermediate layer by impregnating a heat resistant non-metallic fiber substrate with a fluororesin dispersion, then drying, sintering and then

lapping said intermediate layer over said belt core layer via an adhesive layer comprising a fluororesin film and

a third step of lapping a surface layer over said intermediate layer via an adhesive layer comprising a fluororesin film,

said surface layer having a fabric structure including an element wire or wires comprising a ferrous metal or

said surface layer having a structure in which said element wire or wires are arranged together, and

bonding said surface layer together with said belt core layer and intermediate layer by a heat sealing lamination process, and

the surface of the surface layer having a hardness corresponding to steel and having an uneven surface shape, and

forming the fabric structure of said surface layer by lapping said wire or wires one on another such that a warp direction of the fabric structure is arranged in a same direction as a running direction of said belt core layer.

7. The heat resistant laminated conveyor belt manufacturing method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one or both of said intermediate layer and belt core layer on the inner side of said surface layer are a plurality of layers lapped one on another via an adhesive layer or layers and then subjecting said layers to the heat sealing lamination process.
