Fire is an increasing risk to conveyor systems in many different applications. FRAS (Fire Resistant and Anti-Static) rubber is a specialised form of rubber that has high resistance to fire and ozone.
This is achieved by using a combination of polymers, chemicals and additives which contribute to improving fire retardant properties of a conveyor belt.
Description
We have a variety of fire resistant and retardant belts available to mitigate different levels of risks in the workplace and ensure you comply with industry health and safety regulations. Our belts are fire resistant, anti-static and easy to splice or repair using standard materials.
FRAS is generally used above ground and we have a range of these available including FRAS K, FRAS OR (Oil Resistant), and FRAS SAR (Super Abrasive Resistant).
All our FRAS S belts have been independently tested by Safework NSW to ensure they are industry compliant. Our 3 and 4 ply belts are certified as well as our steel cord belts, with 5 ply in the process of testing and certification. We’ve supplied several big mining companies including Xstrata (now Glencore) and Anglo American.
FRAS S is generally used below ground in underground coal mines, power plants, sulfur conveying and other high-risk areas.
