Carpets

PTFE belts are used to apply synthetic rubber backing to carpeting. AFC has engineered products specifically for the carpet industry. AFC’s DuraFab® PTFE conveyor belts convey the uncured synthetic rubber backing through the manufacturing process. The woven fiber (Carpet) overlay is bonded to the uncured synthetic rubber as the DuraFab® belt conveys it through a curing oven. The PTFE conveyor belts’ non-stick properties allows for an excellent release of the cured and bonded synthetic rubber. The DuraFab® belts are designed so that the belt finished is showing on the rubber backing.

AFC’s DuraFab conveyor belts have been designed to out perform and out last all competitive materials. Our DuraFab® materials can be supplied in roll form, slit to size or as a finished belt. AFC’s teams of experts are also available to provide assistance on site for joining of the belts.
