thanks to a long experience in the field of conveyor and processing belts has developed a specific line of conveyor belts suitable for ceramic/porcelain sector manufacturing sponge rubber belts.
Sponge rubber belts (also called fottwiping belts) are conveyor belts with a coating made of sponge rubber material. Because of the abrasive strength and the good absorption capacity footwiping belts are mainly used to remove the glaze from the feet of ceramic ware (tableware, sanitaryware…) before firing.
Sponge rubber belts are employed in:
Deglazing of porcelain and pottery (tableware, sanitaryware…)
Carriage of fragile material
In all that cases where is needed fall-absorption of material, absorption of vibrations.
TOSCANA NASTRI is able to supply the material, offering:
Customized dimensions
Endless belts
Available with perforation on sponge rubber and conveyor belt
Available with V-belt guide on conveyor belt
TOSCANA NASTRI has been carrying out a continues research and tests on raw-materials - together with primary manufactures of adhesives and solvents - in order to develop and improve the processing method needed to couple the different types of sponge with belts;
The actual processing method (cleaning, coupling, splicing) garantuee a long-lasting wear of footwiping belts and solves all problems of coupling sponges (which contain silicone adds) together with conveyor belt.
