The annealing furnace conveyor belt is a mechanical component driven by friction to transport materials continuously. It can be used to convey either loose bulk materials or finished items.
Unlike ordinary conveyor belts, annealing furnace belts have special features:
- Flat mesh surface
- High rigidity
- Strong corrosion resistance
- High tensile strength
- Good permeability
- Resistant to deformation
- Durable
Stainless steel belts are particularly well-suited for high temperatures and corrosive environments due to their inherent strength and heat resistance.
Key Usage Conditions
- High-temperature operation:
The conveyor belt is designed to operate in extreme high temperatures, typically above 400°C. - Temperature effects on strength:
During normal operation, the heat from the conveyed materials will raise the belt’s temperature, which can gradually reduce its strength. The operational limit depends on the temperature generated by friction and the materials being conveyed. - Durability considerations:
Stainless steel belts are generally heat-resistant, so operation at 400°C typically does not affect their service life. However, different manufacturers use varying production processes, so the actual lifespan of the belt may vary.
The above outlines the main conditions for safely using an annealing furnace conveyor belt, helping ensure reliability and longevity during high-temperature operations.
