Hinged belt conveyor Superbelt®

Sprues, gates, and runners’ size are critical to room savings and an efficient melting process. Crushing those materials increases their bulk density and allows storing the same weight of feed material but in a much smaller volume of space. In addition to saving room, this makes furnace charging and melting more efficient. Having the material broken down to more optimal sizes, the bridging instances in the melting furnace are eliminated, and typically an extra melt cycle per shift is achieved. Automating the crusher loading and unloading operations with a properly selected conveyor system helps optimize the process by improving uptime, enhancing productivity, and cutting operating and maintenance costs. The Superbelt® conveyor offers great flexibility and can be installed in new plants or easily fitted to existing equipment according to process requirements and layout constraints. The Superbelt® conveyor features partially overlapping steel pans securely bolted on a patented steel double-wire mesh system. The belt damage-tolerant design is based on a multi-link concept that ensures redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation. Even in case the mesh gets severely damaged, the conveyor will keep running without sudden failures till the scheduled maintenance. The unmatched reliability results in greater efficiency and uptime during a 24/7, year-round process.
