The type of material chosen for a metal conveyor belt is critical, significantly impacting both operational efficiency and product quality. The selection of belt material typically depends on the specific characteristics of the items being conveyed.
Drawing on our extensive experience, PFM Screen has meticulously developed benchmarks for selecting the most suitable alloys. From inception to completion, we are committed to providing only the highest quality materials, ensuring superior performance for our customers and their operations. Our collaboration with trusted suppliers is at the core of our innovation process, driving the development of cutting-edge conveyor belt materials and the refinement of existing alloy compositions.
Our dedication to sustainability is evident in our materials, which are 95% recyclable. This high recyclability aligns with LEEDS building standards and supports corporate recycling objectives, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
