The mesh belt is made of carbon steel, galvanized iron wire, spring steel wire, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature stainless steel, etc. The mesh belt has a smooth surface, even through holes, standard chain transmission, stable running, no deviation, strong load capacity and tensile strength, easy cleaning, easy maintenance and other advantages. Is the impact on the life of the metal mesh belt related to the environment?
When the mesh belt is in normal operation, the temperature rises due to the heat of the conveyed material, and the strength of the conveyor belt gradually decreases with the rise in temperature.
The use limit of the metal mesh belt will depend on the temperature generated by the friction between the material and the mesh belt and the temperature of the material. In general, metal mesh belts are resistant to high temperatures, so their service life will not be affected at 400°C. However, due to different manufacturing processes, metal mesh belts manufactured by various manufacturers have different service lives.
The heat generated by the friction of the mesh belt during work. Due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal mesh belt due to different manufacturing processes, when different materials are welded together, there is a possibility of thermal fatigue. When the ambient temperature exceeds 400℃, the intermittent reduction caused by the expansion between parts should also be fully considered.
First of all, the mesh belt parts will become thinner and thinner, leading to accelerated wear, and the rust on the mesh belt parts will also affect the flexible rotation of the metal mesh belt hinges and rollers. When the metal mesh belt continues to work in an acidic or alkaline environment, the parts will appear stress corrosion and crystal force corrosion. When using mesh belts in corrosive environments, attention should be paid to the selection of mesh belt parts materials.
The chain cover can be installed to prevent the mesh belt from being directly exposed to abrasive materials. When the metal mesh belt is exposed to the abrasive material, the appropriate conveyor type should be selected.
Reduce the chain speed as much as possible. In order to reduce the pressure on the hinge composed of the pin and sleeve of the mesh belt, please choose a larger specification metal mesh belt. Generally, different environments will affect the metal mesh belt.
