Hinged belt conveyor Superbelt®

Tube and pipe producers need to maximize uptime and boost scrap recycling now more than ever. In line with circular economy principles, all scrap from downstream pipe/tube production is collected and reused in the steelmaking process to cut down production costs and minimize the environmental footprint of the business. However, this process places severe requirements on material handling equipment as tube and pipe scrap come out of the shears in many different shapes and weights. Made with very strong and heavy construction, the Superbelt® conveyor has the potential to handle a variety of shear scrap, providing all the flexibility needed in scrap processing operations. 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: the mesh provides 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 until the scheduled maintenance. The belt conveyor support structure features a shock-absorbing frame that absorbs the impact of falling material. Specially designed carrying idlers are set along the belt width and can be closely spaced in the load zone. Mesh and belt pans can be made in manganese steel to ensure the highest resistance to both corrosion and deformation.
