Conveyor Belt Anti-icing / Deicing from luis huang's blog

Ice Conveyor is a multi-component, glycol-based anti-icing agent that will keep your production lines moving like no other product on the market. Designed for the most extreme conditions, it has a longer-lasting affect and works at a colder temperature than any other product. It keeps coal and other material moving, even when facing:

Extremely wet coal

Extreme cold (down to -70º F!)

Extreme precipitation

Extreme angle of belts

Extremely old, hardened or weathered belts

Other approaches to managing cold temperatures and harsh precipitation stop working or begin to lose effectiveness as soon as temps drop to between 0º and -10º F – making them barely suitable for a mild winter in the north!

In addition, temps that fall below 20º F result in belt hardening, which only worsens the colder it gets. Hardening causes material to backslide – creating more delays. Unlike other options, Ice Free Conveyor actually creates belt friction, allowing your products to continue moving UP the belt instead of down.

Ice Free Conveyor also prevents or minimizes fines carry-back and build-up on belts, idlers and pulleys that can clog systems, causing belts to tear and motors to overheat. This not only prevents delays but also saves you costly repairs and maintenance.

Ice Free Conveyor can be applied to tops and bottoms of conveyor belts as well as to trough idlers and tail pulleys. When applied prior to shutdown it prevents ice glazing and ice and snow buildup. If applied at start-up or during operation, it speeds the removal of ice and prevents further buildup.

And it does all of this while using less product than other options: because it only requires an application rate of one gallon per minute per single complete revolution, there are less over-sprays and puddles of wasted product.
