In recent years, with the continuous advancement of conveying technology, intelligent conveying methods have been employed in material transportation to optimize production processes, reduce manufacturing time, improve labor efficiency, and lower production costs, in order to meet the application needs of various industries. At the same time, downstream industries are placing increasing demands on intelligent conveying systems to be more intelligent, flexible, and integrated, which is driving improvements in the overall quality of the intelligent conveying equipment industry. The development of intelligent conveying technology is closely related to modern science and technology as well as the overall level of industry, particularly being closely linked to the progress in information science and mechanical engineering. The frontiers of modern science and technology exhibit distinct temporal, disciplinary, and dynamic characteristics. The overall trend in the development of intelligent transportation technologies is toward digitization, intelligence, precision, and integration, a trend that aligns with the development trends in the industrial automation sector. According to the transportation systems used in various manufacturing industries, PP belt conveyors are favored for their high conveying capacity and long conveying distances; they enable efficient, continuous operation in production processes, and possess a strong sense of rhythm. Those used in pipeline production operations include: food plate chain conveyors, food belt conveyors, food mesh belt conveyors, food roller conveyors, food screw conveyors, and food bucket elevators. With the rapid development of the market economy, the demand from food industry enterprises in our country for food conveyor equipment is increasingly moving towards higher-end products. To better adapt to the market, help food manufacturing enterprises enhance the competitiveness of their products, and achieve automation in production, there are also higher requirements for the accessories of food conveying machinery. PP mesh belts have high transparency and good flow properties. As a new type of polymer material, PP mesh belts possess excellent properties such as high wear resistance, tear resistance, high elasticity, and strong load-bearing capacity. With the continuous expansion and development of the food processing industry as well as various civilian applications, industries across different sectors are seeking to improve their production capabilities; as a result, they are increasingly using PP mesh belts in their manufacturing processes to replace traditional mesh belts. The PP conveyor belt is a type of accessory used in food conveying machinery; it has good heat-insulating properties, a low density, and high insulation capacity, which allows it to remain unaffected by the humid conditions in the production environment. PP conveyor belts are not only environmentally friendly but also exhibit excellent heat resistance and stability. When used for transporting materials in food production, PP conveyor belts can withstand the corrosion caused by corrosive materials, as well as most chemical substances, thus offering excellent corrosion resistance. In food processing industries, where these belts are used to transport materials such as mineral sand and sludge that are highly abrasive, their wear resistance is more than four times that of ordinary steel conveyor belts; hence, they possess high wear resistance. The molecules of PP conveyor belts consist only of carbon and hydrogen, and they are non-toxic and odorless, which makes them very reliable from a hygiene perspective. PP conveyor belts exhibit good heat resistance and insulation properties; the maximum operating temperature during production can reach around 95 degrees. Moreover, their thermal conductivity is only one hundredth that of steel pipes, which gives them excellent insulating capabilities. However, when the food production environment is at low temperatures, the PP conveyor belt becomes brittle and hard; it not only loses its wear-resistant properties but also ages more easily. Therefore, food manufacturing companies need to select the appropriate conveyor belts based on the materials being processed and the operating conditions. PP mesh belts are semi-crystalline materials with a higher melting point; their welding process is quite simple, and the strength of the welded joints is greater than that of the tube itself. The material used in their construction is also lightweight, which means that the seams of PP mesh belts will not break due to the pulling forces exerted by food handling machinery or the load associated with the transported materials. Additionally, they are easy to install in the production facilities of various food processing companies. Moreover, the overall cost of using PP mesh belts is reasonable, which is why they are widely used in various food production industries. Compared to mesh belts made of other materials, PP mesh belts offer high production efficiency and low costs, thereby helping food manufacturing companies save on production expenses; their cost is only one-tenth that of stainless steel mesh belts. Mesh belts made of PP material are produced using modified polypropylene as raw material; through processes such as extrusion, stretching, mesh formation, and surface modification, high-strength bundled filaments or mesh-like organic fibers are created. PP conveyor belts exhibit good resistance to strong acids and alkalis, and they also maintain extremely stable chemical properties in terms of low thermal conductivity. When added to concrete or mortar, it can effectively control micro-cracks caused by factors such as the plastic shrinkage and shrinkage upon drying of concrete and mortar, as well as temperature changes; it prevents and suppresses the formation and progression of cracks, thereby **improving the crack resistance and water resistance of concrete. One of the reasons why PP conveyor belts are widely used is their excellent heat-insulating properties. Therefore, thanks to its excellent properties, the PP conveyor belt is undoubtedly the preferred conveying equipment for various food manufacturing companies.
