BELT GRADES AS1200 & AS1000 STAINLESS STEEL BELTS FOR THE FOOD AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES AS1200 (Austenitic Stainless with a tensile strength of approximately AS1200 is notsuitable for use with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or substances that contain chlorides. 1200 MPa), offers: • Good static strength AS1000 (Austenitic Stainless with a tensile strength of approximately • Very good fatigue strength • Very good corrosion resistance 1000 MPa) offers superior flatness, mechanical strength and acid/ • Good wear resistance alkali resistance. CONSOL’s AS1000 offers a level of performance • Good thermal properties that other belt grades can’t, while also being easy to sanitize and • Very good repairability maintain. This material is easy to sanitize and maintain so it’s an excellent choice for applications such as: • Coolers • Freezers • Steam cookers • Dryers of fruits and vegetables • Food conveyors
This makes CONSOL AS1000 ideal for more demanding applications in the chemical, medical and food industries, especially where salts/chlorides are present, or where food grade/medical grade hygiene standards must be observed (see figure 1 for chemical and mechanical properties).
