Heat resistance conveyer belts with conveying load temperature more than 2000C
· Production of belts on innovative composite fabrics: increase in resistance to temperature wear
Kursk/Moscow, December, 10, 2013
Nowadays the main problem of heat resistance conveyer belts is their low temperature resistance. The maximum temperature at which there is no burning in rubber lining while transporting loose materials, doesn’t exceed 200-2500C. With the temperature increase of the material harsh destruction of the belt takes place. All attempts to increase temperature resistance of rubber didn’t bring any results so far.
Metal gauze is suggested to be used to increase temperature resistance and wearability of heat resistant conveyer belt top cover in the world practice. In this case the cost and the weight of the belt rises sharply. Thus the problem of heat rejection while transporting hot loose materials is not solved as heating of metal gauze and destruction of rubber and fabric basis under it take place.
To solve the problems conserning the increasing of temperature resistance of conveyer belts JSC “Kurskrezinotekhnika” specialists suggested using composite fabrics. Operating temperature of such materials is 7500C – 8000C, heat conduction is the lowest, there is no spark formation while using the belt, that allows to use it freely in mine and other hazardous production facilities.
Materials employed have comparable cost with serially applied fabrics, that makes customers more interested in such products.
There are no analogs of conveyer belt with composite materials in Russian practice.
Today the conveyer belt with improved heat resistance indicators is undergoing operational tests at one of the largest Russian iron and steel plant. Half timed survey that are carried out every 2 months, show considerable positive dynamics of operational characteristics.
Сompletion of tests is to be finished in March, 2014, the results will be reflected additionally in Rubex Group company press releases.
In the 2nd quarter of 2014 JSC “Kurskrezinotekhnika” plans to start serial production of conveyer belts with conveying load temperature more than 2000C.
