Continental expanded its conveyor belt portfolio with the introduction of ContiClean, a non-stick compound solution for the North American market.

ContiClean is applicable to applications that convey sticky materials such as aggregate, coal, salt, silica, de-sulphurised gypsum and more, according to the company. The ContiClean non-stick solution is specific to the top cover rubber in contact with the materials being conveyed.

ContiClean is available through the company’s North American distribution network.

“This product is especially suited to customers whose applications require aggressive or additional scraper systems to remove the buildup of material adhering to the conveyor cover,” says Chris Marchant, product manager for conveyor belting at Continental. “Excessive material buildup can transfer to other conveyor components like idlers, and that could lead to tracking issues and damage the conveyor belt and system. Scraping to clean this excess material is costly and can lead to significant downtime. This proprietary ContiClean compounding solution works to minimize those costly instances.”

Continental develops technologies, services and solutions for vehicles, machines, traffic and transportation.
