Hot sand conveying is still a prominent problem facing green sand foundries. Conventional methods (rubber belts, vibratory conveyors, coolers/classifiers + pneumatic transport) used to handle hot sand have proven to suffer from high O&M costs due to high temperatures and wear issues caused by the sand composition with sharp and hard foreign particles. Additionally, the potential for a huge amount of fugitive dust during this type of material handling causes serious health concerns for employees and a decrease in the overall efficiency of operations. The Ecobelt® B bucket conveyor has been designed to handle hot, very fine, dusty, and abrasive bulk materials, with significantly high inclinations. All issues related to high temperatures, premature wear, and silica dust emissions are fully eliminated in favor of smooth, reliable, and environmentally friendly transport. The Ecobelt® B conveyor is made up of the assembly of a series of buckets, whose thickness and steel quality are selected according to the required capacity and the type of material to convey, onto a high-tensile mesh. The belt design is based on a multi-link concept which ensures trouble-free operation, eliminating any risk of sudden failure. Even in the event the mesh is severely damaged, the conveyor will keep running till the scheduled maintenance. The unmatched reliability also results in high availability during 24/7, year-round operation.
