Oil Resistant Conveyor Belts (MCI OR Series)
In industrial environments where materials contain mineral oils, vegetable fats, organic solvents, or chemical greases, standard natural/synthetic rubber belts absorb oil quickly. This causes severe rubber swelling, ply separation, structural softening, and belt elongation, leading to frequent downtime and belt failure.
At Mahajan Conveyors, our MCI Oil Resistant Conveyor Belts are manufactured using high-grade Nitrile Rubber (NBR) compounds. Specially formulated to withstand intense hydrocarbon and lipid exposure, these belts maintain their dimensional stability, structural rigidity, and cover hardness even under continuous contact with oily materials.
Technical Features & Performance Advantages
Anti-Swelling Formulation
High NBR content prevents oil absorption and eliminates belt surface swelling, distortion, and loss of cover adhesion.
High Mechanical Resistance
Offers excellent tensile strength, tear resistance, and anti-abrasion properties alongside oil protection.
Wide Chemical Compatibility
Highly resistant to mineral oils, synthetic lubricants, animal fats, vegetable oils, and non-aromatic solvents.
Temperature Stability
Operates seamlessly across a wide temperature spectrum (-20°C to +80°C).
Smooth & Patterned Surfaces
Available in smooth top covers as well as specialized anti-slip profiles (Chevron, Rough Top) for inclined conveying of oily materials.
Specialized Cover Grades
We provide tailored oil-resistant compounds depending on the level of oil exposure and material type:
MOR Grade
(Moderate Oil Resistance)
Engineered for low-to-medium oil content applications such as grain handling, wood chips, and light oily waste.
OR Grade
(High Oil Resistance)
Formulated with premium Nitrile rubber for heavy oil exposure, hot oil processing, animal fats, and petroleum-based materials.
OR-HR Grade
(Oil & Heat Resistant)
Dual-purpose belt engineered to handle oily materials at elevated temperatures up to 120°C.
OR-FR Grade
(Oil & Fire Resistant)
Combination of good resistance to flame propagation & moderate oil resistance, suitable to convey oil coated flammable material for over ground application.
