BT-915, BT-930, BT-951, BT-952: Belt De-icers

Belt De-Icers are a cold-weather solution.

  • Non-corrosive
  • Does not affect the properties of the material
  • Does not alter the fusion temperature of the material

Benetech’s freeze control agents utilize our advanced chemistry to modify and weaken the crystal structure of ice so that it readily fractures. Specifically formulated to work as both freeze control conditioning agents and dust control agents, these products also hold fugitive dust particles on coal surfaces to reduce dusting when offloading and handling under the harshest operating conditions. BT-915 is a glycol-based belt de-icer blend of freeze point depressant side release agents that inhibit the cohesive bonds between wet material and cold conveyor belt surface.

BT-915 and BT-930 minimize rail and barge unloading problems during winter operations. BT-951 and BT-952 minimize icing, freezing, and material slippage on conveyor belts during low-temperature winter operations. Each winter season, industries confront unloading and handling frozen coal, coke, and other materials. Freezing in loaded rail cars, bunkers, and conveying equipment can create higher labor and maintenance costs, as well as expensive demurrage. In addition, when frozen, a material with as little as 6% surface moisture can cohere so strongly that special handling is needed to break up the mass. Benetech’s freeze control products use advanced chemistry to modify and weaken ice, so it readily fractures. They also work as dust control agents to hold fugitive dust particles on coal surfaces during offloading and handling under even severe weather conditions.

Benefits

  • Protects to -1 °F
  • Reduces frozen material from sticking to the conveyor belt
  • Non-corrosive. Will not damage conveyor belting

Application

This product is applied as delivered (neat). The product is applied using a Benetech pumping/metering system and spray manifolds.
