Safety precautions to be followed during operation of the Teflon mesh belt

Safety precautions to be followed during operation of the Teflon mesh belt

Teflon mesh belts are used in a wide range of applications. The belts can be applied to dryer mesh belt, sterilizer mesh belt, annealing furnace mesh belt, fryer mesh belt, sintering furnace mesh belt, instant noodle steamer mesh belt, etc., which are common application fields of Teflon mesh belts. So what are the safety regulations that should be observed during the use of Teflon mesh belts?

1. The Teflon mesh belt can be placed in the oven after all preparations are ready. A red light indicates that the box is heated. When the temperature reaches the controlled temperature, the red light turns off and the green light is on, and the temperature is started. In order to prevent temperature control failure, you must also look after it.

2. When placing the sample, it should be noted that the arrangement should not be too dense. The test piece should not be placed on the heat sink to avoid affecting the upward flow of hot air. It is forbidden to bake flammable, explosive, volatile and corrosive items.

3. When it is necessary to observe the Teflon mesh belt sample in the working room, the outer door can be opened and observed through the glass door. However, it is better to open the door as little as possible to avoid affecting the constant temperature. Especially when working above 200 °C, opening the door may cause the glass door to quench and rupture.

4. In a blasted oven, the blower must be turned on during heating and constant temperature, otherwise it will affect the uniformity of the temperature of the working chamber and damage the heating element.

5. It should be placed indoors in a dry and level place to prevent vibration and corrosion.

6. When using the microwave conveyor belt, pay attention to the safe power supply, according to the power consumption of the oven power consumption device with sufficient capacity. Use enough power leads and have a good grounding wire.

7. Teflon mesh belt oven with electric contact mercury thermometer type thermostat should connect the two wires of the electric contact thermometer to the two terminals on the top of the box. In addition, an ordinary mercury thermometer is inserted into the exhaust valve. The thermometer in the exhaust valve is used to check the electrical contact mercury thermometer and the opening of the exhaust valve for observing the actual temperature in the tank. Adjust the electric contact mercury thermometer to the required temperature and tighten the screws on the steel cap to achieve the purpose of constant temperature. However, be careful not to screw the indicator iron out of the scale.

8. When using, the temperature should not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the oven.

9. To prevent burns, use special tools when handling samples.

10. After the Teflon mesh belt is finished, the power should be cut off in time to ensure safety.

Whether the FDA food grade certified Teflon mesh belt is harmless to the human body

Under normal circumstances, the products processed by Teflon spray are not harmful to the human body, because the raw materials processed by Teflon spray processing are subject to strict international standards before they can be put into the market. The use of certification is not to say that Teflon spray processing is not harmful to the human body. If you do not operate properly, for example, the mold you spray with Teflon may be in the process of moving, moving, lifting, lifting. Drops cause personal injury. Therefore, we recommend paying attention to production safety during the Teflon spraying process. Teflon spraying itself is not harmful,but you need to avoid accidental injury during operation.

What is the difference between Teflon spray processing and Iron-Teflon spray processing?

Teflon and Iron-Teflon are no different, just different names, one is a big name, one is a small name, if you distinguish the relationship between them from the industry, Teflon spraying processing is a general term for this spraying process. Others are subdivided. high-performance special Teflon coatings are fluorine coatings based on polytetrafluoroethylene as the matrix resin. The English name is Teflon. Because of the pronunciation, it is often called Teflon, Tiefulong, Tefulong, Tefulon, etc. (all Teflon transliteration) such as Teflon spray processing, Teflon spray processing TEFLON spray processing, etc. all are Teflon spray processing segmentation. Teflon (Teflon) coating is a unique high-performance coating that combines heat resistance, chemical inertness and excellent insulation stability and low friction. It has the combined advantages that other coatings cannot compete. Sex makes it suitable for use on almost any shape and size.

After Teflon spray processing, it has the following characteristics:

1. Non-stick: almost all substances are not bonded to the Teflon coating. Very thin films also show good non-stick properties.
2. Heat resistance: Teflon coating film has excellent heat resistance and low temperature resistance. It can withstand high temperature to 300 °C in a short time. It can be used continuously between 240 °C and 260 °C. It has remarkable thermal stability. It can work at freezing temperature without embrittlement and does not melt at high temperature.
3, slidability: Teflon coating has a lower coefficient of friction. The friction coefficient changes when the load slides, but the value is only between 0.05 and 0.15.
4. Moisture resistance: The surface of Teflon coating film is not stained with water and oil. It is not easy to get into the solution during production operation. If there is a small amount of dirt, it can be removed by simple wiping. Short downtime, saving time and increasing productivity.
5, wear resistance: under high load, Teflon spray processing has excellent wear resistance. Under certain load, it has the dual advantages of wear resistance and non-sticking.
6. Corrosion resistance: Teflon spray processing is almost free of chemical attack and can protect parts from any kind of chemical corrosion.

Why does the Teflon mesh belt get FDA food certification? Is the Teflon mesh belt safe for food baking?

Now Teflon mesh belt has been used more and more widely in the food baking industry. It can be used as a conveyor belt to dry food, such as dried chrysanthemum, dehydrated vegetables, soybeans, peanuts, wheat, etc. The platter is baked with mooncakes, biscuits, taro, pies, etc., and the application is more commonly used as a drying conveyor belt.

Why is the Teflon mesh belt suitable for food baking? Why can Teflon mesh belts improve the productivity, product quality and cost reduction of food baking companies?

Teflon

?PTFE was discovered in 1938 by chemist Dr. Roy J. Plunkett at DuPont’s Jackson Laboratory in New Jersey, USA. When he tried to make a new chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant, tetrafluoroethylene was polymerized in a high-pressure storage vessel (iron of the inner wall became catalyst for polymerization). DuPont obtained its patent in 1941 and in 1944 registered its trademark under the name “Teflon”. Subsequently, DuPont developed a series of products, including Teflon; AF (amorphous fluoropolymer), Teflon; FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene resin), Teflon; FFR (fluorine polymerization) Foam resin), Teflon; NXT (fluoropolymer resin), Teflon; PFA (perfluoroalkoxy resin), etc. In 1954, the French engineer Marc Gregoire’s wife, Colette, had a whimsy that Teflon, the non-stick material that her husband used to fishing line to prevent knotting, which could be used for the frying pan, the effect must be good. The “non-stick” pan was born.

How to detect PTFE Teflon adhesive tape

Teflon tape is a chemical resistant, high temperature, has excellent insulation properties, and widely used in packaging thermoplastic, composite, sealing heat, electrical and electronic industries. Do you know how to detect Teflon adhesive tape?

The Tribological properties and mechanical properties of TEFLON composites

Polytetrafluoroethylene (TEFLON) is a kind of excellent solid lubricating materials, it has a low friction coefficient and good chemical stability and thermal stability, but the wear resistance of TEFLON was poor. At present, people have used different kinds of packing to filling modification of PT FE, and the friction and wear properties of TEFLON composites are a lot of research, but the quenching effect on tribology properties and the mechanical properties of TEFLON composites research has yet to see detailed report. This paper uses the polyimide, polystyrene grease, CdO, Cu powder, glass fiber and carbon fiber, etc. Filling modification of TEFLON, using M M – 200 wear testing machine of TEFLON composites under the condition of dry friction the friction and wear properties are studied, and probes into the impact of quenching process of TEFLON composites tribological properties and the mechanical properties.

Experimental section
To Cu, Pb, CdO powder, graphite (Gr), glass fiber (GF) and carbon fiber (CF), polyimide (PI) and polystyrene resin (Ekonol) (particle size is less than 76 microns) at a certain volume is added to the TEFLON powder (size 39 microns), after mixing cold pressing molding, then free sintering in air, some of these samples quenching process. Sample size is 30 mm *7 mm*6 mm, dual for 45 # steel ring diameter of 40 mm, samples and 45 # steel ring surface are made of 900 # water sand paper polishing burnish.At room temperature, the dry friction condition, use M M – 200 type abrasion tester on friction and wear properties of TEFLON composites is evaluated. Before each test, the sample and dual surface with acetone tampons scrub clean, and dry in the air. This experiment chooses the load is 200 N, at the rate of 0. 42 m/s, the friction and wear test time is 120 min. Wear in grinding crack width gauge on the surface of the sample after test. By measuring the friction moment, and then calculate the coefficient of friction, the friction coefficient within 60 min after taking average. Hardness test carry out on burawoy microhardness meter. Tensile properties in tension test machine for L J500 type, sample size according to the provisions of the GB/T 1040-92 with type I sample.

The results and discussion
Tab.1 shows the friction and wear properties of TEFLON composites and mechanical properties of the test results. We can see that almost all packing can reduce the wear and tear of the TEFLON composite material, greatly improve the TEFLON abrasion resistance of the composite material.At the same time, the addition of filler were improved in different degree hardness of TEFLON composites, but decreased the tensile strength of the TEFLON composite materials (except for # 5 samples) and elongation. In this experiment chooses packing, polystyrene resin has a good damping effect, so that the eps grease filling of the two kinds of TEFLON composites (# 2 and # 3 samples) has good abrasion resistance, but the two PT FE composite materials tensile strength is small. Whereas cdos reduces the friction coefficient of TEFLON composites, which makes the CdO filling two kinds of TEFLON composites (7 # and 8 #) sample has good friction performance, but the two poor wear resistance of TEFLON composites. Carbon fibers and graphite filled TEFLON composite material friction and wear properties of the samples (# 13), though poor, but the tensile strength and elongation are larger. And Cu powder and carbon fiber filled PT FE composite samples (5 #) composite friction, abrasion and mechanical performance is good. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 shows the amount of PI to PT FE friction coefficient of the composite material, grinding crack width, the influence of the elongation and tensile strength. From Fig. 1, you can see that PI filling increases the PT FE composite material, the friction coefficient and friction coefficient of TEFLON composites basically as the PI content increases. Fig. 2 the results showed that the PI fill greatly reduces the PT FE composite wear; But in this test, within the limits of PI amount as the PI content increasing, the increase of the content of PI has a little influence on wear resistance of TEFLON composites. Fig. 3 the results showed that the PI filling percentage elongation of TEFLON composites basically decrease with the increase of content of PI. Fig. 4 shows that the result of the PI, the tensile strength of the filled TEFLON composites with PI decreased with the increase of adding amount of first, then with the PI amount increases with increasing (30% ~ 60%).

Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the friction coefficient and wear scar width of polystyrene fat filled TEFLON composites (2# samples) changes in load curves, respectively. It can be seen that polystyrene resin filled TEFLON composites (2# sample) the wear scar width increases as the load increases, the friction coefficient decreases with the increasing load.

Tab. 2 show the pure TEFLON under two different conditions that free cooling and hardening of tensile strength and elongation of the test results. It can be seen that quench has little influence on tensile strength of TEFLON, but increase the elongation of TEFLON and TEFLON the crystallinity of the sample. Therefore, the crystallinity of TEFLON material size had little effect on the tensile strength, elongation increases with lower crystallinity.


Fig. 7 to Fig. 9 respectively gives the quenching treatment on PT FE friction coefficient of the composite material, the influence of grinding crack width and hardness. Fig. 7 results show that quenching treatment make TEFLON + 30 (v) % PI the friction coefficient of the composite increased obviously, but for several other PT FE has little influence on friction coefficient of the composite material. Fig. 8 results show that, with the exception of polyphenyl grease filling PT FE composite samples (2 #), quenching the wear and tear in the other kinds of TEFLON composites increase, lower wear resistance. And Fig. 9 shows that the result of the quenching process are in different degree, reduce the PT FE hardness of the composite material.

Comprehensive Tab. 2 and Fig. 7 ~ Fig. 9, you can see that the result of the quenching process to lower crystallinity of TEFLON composites, which leads to its hardness decreases, and increase the elongation and abrasion (polyphenylene grease filling PT except FE abrasion resistance of the composite material).Quenching the PT FE + 30 (v) % PI the friction coefficient of the composite increased obviously, but for several other PT FE has little influence on friction coefficient of the composite material. Therefore, quenching treatment does not favor the comprehensive performance of TEFLON composites to improve.
