PU (polyurethane) conveyor belts are lightweight, flexible conveyor belts made from polyurethane material, commonly used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, packaging, and clean manufacturing environments. They are popular because they are hygienic, resistant to oils, chemicals, grease, and moisture, and easier to clean than traditional rubber belts. PU belts also offer good flexibility, smooth product handling, and high resistance to wear and cutting, making them suitable for transporting delicate or precision products.

Compared with Rubber conveyor belts, PU belts are generally cleaner and better for food-grade applications, though they may be less suitable for extremely heavy-duty or high-impact industrial loads.

Rubber conveyor belts are durable conveyor systems made primarily from layers of rubber and reinforced fabric or steel cords, designed to transport materials efficiently in industries such as mining, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and logistics. They are valued for their strength, flexibility, resistance to abrasion, and ability to handle heavy loads, rough materials, and harsh environments. Different types of rubber belts are made for specific purposes, including heat-resistant, oil-resistant, fire-resistant, and heavy-duty mining belts.

Flexco products are designed to improve conveyor efficiency, reduce downtime, enhance safety, and extend belt life through better belt alignment, cleaning, repair, and monitoring technologies.

 

For real solutions to your conveyor belt challenges, Flexco produces a wide range of products including mechanical belt fasteners, belt cleaners, pulley lagging, belt trackers, impact beds, maintenance tools, and splicing systems for rubber, PVC, and polyurethane conveyor belts.

Conveyor belt fasteners are mechanical devices used to join the two ends of a belt together, creating an endless, continuous loop. They are primarily used for quick belt installation, easy maintenance, and repairing tears, allowing operations to minimize costly downtime without requiring specialized vulcanization equipment.
