Sintering Furnace Mesh Belts: Key Points for Improving Lifespan and Performance

Sintering furnace mesh belts are widely used in sintering processes in industries such as powder metallurgy, ceramics, glass, electronics, and chemicals. These applications include high-temperature sintering of powder metallurgy iron-copper components, high-temperature sintering of electronic components such as thick-film circuits and resistors, and sintering of ceramic products. Many customers encounter a variety of problems with their sintering furnace mesh belts. The following are some common issues and solutions. Sintering Furnace Mesh Belts 1. Short Mesh Belt Life: Material Matters The high temperature environment within the sintering furnace, as well as the weight and friction of the materials, can easily lead to premature breakage or excessive wear of the mesh belt. Improper mesh belt material selection or improperly adjusted tension during installation can accelerate belt damage. Solution: Appropriate material selection is crucial. Choose materials that are resistant to high temperatures, oxidation, and corrosion, such as SUS310S, AISI314, and nickel-based alloys, based on the sintering furnace's operating temperature and process requirements. During installation, use a suitable tensioning device and regularly check and adjust the belt to ensure proper tension. At the same time, ensure even material distribution and avoid local overload to reduce stress on the mesh belt. 2. Mesh Belt Deformation: Mesh belt specifications and design are crucial. Under the high temperatures and tensile forces of the sintering furnace, the mesh belt is prone to elongation and deformation. Excessive elongation can cause problems with the mesh belt's coordination with other components within the furnace, leading to problems such as deviation and jamming. Solution: During the design phase, fully consider the mesh belt's thermal expansion coefficient and operating environment, and rationally design the mesh belt's dimensions and structure to increase its rigidity and minimize deformation. 3. Cleaning and Maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial. During the sintering process, material easily adheres to the mesh belt and, at high temperatures, sinters and carbonizes, forming hard lumps that are difficult to clean. This increases cleaning difficulty and maintenance costs. Solution: Establish a regular cleaning schedule to promptly remove carbon deposits, dust, and other impurities from the mesh belt surface to maintain a clean mesh belt. During routine maintenance, inspect the mesh belt's operating condition and promptly repair any minor damage. Mesh Belt Deviation: The Mesh Belt Adjustment Process is Critical Uneven installation, uneven guide rail wear, uneven material distribution, and deformation of the mesh belt can all cause the mesh belt to deviate during operation. Deviation can cause the mesh belt edge to rub against the furnace wall or guide rails, damaging the mesh belt. It can also lead to uneven material distribution and affect sintering quality. Solution: During installation, strictly calibrate the mesh belt and guide rails to ensure they are parallel. Regularly check the sensitivity and reliability of the deviation correction device to ensure it is fully operational when the mesh belt deviates. Ensure proper material distribution during production to avoid uneven belt force and deviation caused by uneven material weight. Although the sintering furnace mesh belt is small, it has a significant impact on production. Companies should prioritize its management and maintenance. Through appropriate material selection, proper installation, and meticulous maintenance, they can extend the mesh belt's service life, improve production efficiency, and enhance product quality.

How to Prevent Sinker Furnace Mesh Belts from Snake-Snaking

Preventing sintering furnace mesh belts from snaking (deviation) can be achieved through installation and adjustment, routine maintenance, and equipment optimization. Specific measures are listed below: Sintering Furnace Mesh Belt I. Installation and Adjustment 1. Ensure Installation Accuracy When installing a sintering furnace mesh belt, components such as the head and tail rollers and intermediate idlers must be aligned and parallel to each other. Strict installation accuracy must be maintained during installation to prevent deviation of the sintering furnace mesh belt due to installation errors. It is important to note that during installation and commissioning, the sintering furnace mesh belt requires gradual temperature adjustment, and the mesh should be trimmed regularly to ensure the belt length remains within a reasonable range. 2. Adjusting Idler and Roller Sets Regularly check the misalignment between the horizontal centerline of the idler and the longitudinal centerline of the conveyor. If the misalignment exceeds 3 mm, adjust the idler using the elongated mounting holes on both sides of the roller set. If the rollers are not aligned or are unevenly worn, they should be adjusted or replaced promptly. 3. Check the Mesh Belt Joints The sintering furnace mesh belt joints must be correctly connected, with the circumference on both sides consistent, ensuring the entire belt forms a perfect rectangular shape. Misaligned joints or bends will cause uneven force on the belt during operation, leading to deviation. II. Daily Maintenance 1. Maintain Even Material Distribution Maintain even material distribution on the sintering furnace mesh belt to avoid uneven force on the belt caused by excessive weight in certain areas. If the material is unevenly loaded, add a baffle at the inlet to change the direction and position of the material. 2. Regularly Clean the Mesh Belt and Equipment Regularly clean debris from the mesh belt and any material stuck to the rollers and idlers. Material sticking can cause the diameter of the rollers or idlers to increase in certain areas, leading to uneven tension on both sides of the belt and causing deviation. 3. Adjust the Mesh Belt Tension Regularly check and adjust the mesh belt tension to ensure even tension. Excessive or insufficient tension can lead to unstable operation and snaking. III. Equipment Optimization 1. Installing a Correction Device You can install a differential self-aligning roller assembly or a passive hydraulically controlled linkage corrector. These devices automatically adjust the mesh belt's running direction to prevent deviation. 2. Optimizing Mesh Belt Design Select appropriate mesh belt materials and design parameters, such as appropriate wire diameter and pitch. Ensure the mesh belt's stability under high temperatures and loads, and avoid deformation and deviation caused by material or design issues. IV. Operating Standards 1. Standardizing Operating Procedures Train operators to ensure they are familiar with the equipment's operating procedures. Avoid abnormal mesh belt operation due to improper operation. 2. Regular Inspection and Maintenance Establish a comprehensive equipment inspection and maintenance system, regularly perform comprehensive inspections of the mesh belt and ancillary equipment, and promptly identify and resolve any problems. These measures can effectively reduce the occurrence of sintering furnace mesh belt snaking, improving equipment operation stability and production efficiency. Hengshui Qualified Filter Screen Co., Ltd., as a century-old enterprise that can develop and produce all-industrial mesh belts, has been committed to the research and development and production of high-quality metal mesh belts to meet customers' higher quality needs.

[Fun Food] How Many Metal Mesh Belts Are Used in Cookie Production?

Healthy soda crackersFragrant crispy cookiesOr soft waffles!Who would have thought that these delicious cookies are all related to metal mesh belts?Today, let's take a look atWhat are these metal mesh belts related to cookies?  Herringbone Mesh Belt As a dense metal mesh belt, the A4 mesh belt requires high surface flatness to ensure even heating of the cookies during baking and prevent bulging. Sprial Wire Mesh Belt The sprial mesh belt is made from round wire, creating a K2-shaped metal mesh belt. This process is similar to the flattening of the entire mesh belt used in traditional biscuit meshes.The goal is to maintain a certain degree of permeability while enhancing the surface flatness of the mesh belt. Great Wall Mesh Belt Great Wall Mesh Belt is used in large-scale biscuit baking operations due to its high load-bearing capacity and smooth conveying. In the biscuit industry, in addition to these metal mesh belts used for baking,metal mesh belts are also used for conveying in many other processes, such as the chocolate glazing process and the cooling stage of soft waffles and snow rice cakes. Looking at so many metal mesh belts that come into direct contact with biscuits, we must pay attention to the following when choosing: The material must meet food safety standards, and the mesh belt manufacturer must ensure traceability of the raw materials. Secondly, the mesh belt surface should be smooth, intact, and free of impurities, and must be degreased or pickled before leaving the factory. Furthermore, it should be easy to clean and disinfect to prevent microbial contamination.

We are committed to meeting our customers' ever-increasing demand for quality, constantly experimenting and innovating, and striving to provide them with world-class products and services.

What edge treatments are available for thick-film heating sintering furnace mesh belts?

Under continuous high temperature and tension, sintering furnace mesh belts experience a concentration of maximum principal stress at their edges due to geometric changes, becoming the primary source of fatigue cracks, misalignment, and wire drawing. Industrial practice shows that approximately 70% of mesh belt failures originate from edge defects. To meet the stringent cleanliness, flatness, and life requirements of thick-film processes, the mainstream edge reinforcement solutions can be categorized into three types: interlocking hooks, welded rigidity, and U-shaped inserts. 1. Hook (Bending) Treatment Method: Extend and bend the mesh belt edge strips into hook shapes, creating an interlocking structure (commonly known as "hooking"). Advantages: Enhanced edge tensile strength, preventing tearing at high temperatures; simple structure, and low cost. Key Parameters: The hook length must match the mesh belt thickness, and the diagonal height must be symmetrical to prevent misalignment. Note: For sintering furnace mesh belts with hook treatment, the hook bending process requires certain considerations. Using special tools for hook bending ensures consistent hook formation, maintains diagonal symmetry of the sintering furnace mesh belt, and prevents the belt from deviating. 2. Welding Reinforcement Method: Fully weld the edges. Advantages: High edge rigidity, suitable for high-load or high-speed operation. Disadvantages: Welding joints that are not fully rounded can easily tear, shortening the life of the sintering furnace mesh belt. Note: As the most commonly used edge method, direct welding can save labor time and further reduce mesh belt costs. However, the welding process requires not only the welder's skills but also strict requirements for the welding materials and welding gas used. A customer previously purchased a sintering furnace mesh belt from another mesh belt manufacturer. Due to inaccurate welding current parameters, the welds on the mesh belt developed roughness and burrs, causing scratches and wear on the material during loading and unloading. 3. U-shaped Edge Insertion Method: Insert a U-shaped metal groove into the edge and press it securely. Advantages: Protects edge wires from loosening, suitable for extra-wide belts (e.g., >1 meter). Note: Ensure the thermal expansion coefficient of the U-groove matches the belt material (e.g., 310S + 310S combination). Edge treatment accounts for less than 10% of the total belt cost, but determines 90% of the budget for deviation, breakage, and contamination. First, determine the operating conditions, then select the process, and finally, include key parameters in the drawings. This will turn a "minor edge issue" into a "major lifespan issue."

In the food industry, what should be paid attention to when choosing metal mesh belts? Material, specifications, surface

In the food industry, what should be paid attention to when choosing metal mesh belts? Material, specifications, surface treatment... Details When choosing metal mesh belt materials in the food processing industry, many factors need to be considered comprehensively. The following are some specific selection points: 1. Stainless steel material SUS304: It has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It can withstand corrosive substances in most food processing environments, such as grease, acid, alkali, etc. It is also suitable for high-temperature baking, steaming and other processes. It is one of the most commonly used mesh belt materials in the food processing industry. SUS316L: On the basis of SUS304, more nickel and molybdenum elements are added to make it more corrosion-resistant, especially in an environment containing chloride ions. It has better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and is suitable for food processing scenarios with higher requirements for corrosion resistance, such as marine product processing, dairy product processing, etc. Carbon steel material: high strength, strong bearing capacity, can withstand heavier food weight and greater impact force, but poor corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, generally suitable for food processing links that do not require high corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and is more commonly used in biscuit baking. Teflon material: has excellent high temperature resistance and non-stick properties, can be used for a long time at a high temperature of 260°C, food will not adhere to the mesh belt during transportation, easy to clean and maintain, can effectively improve production efficiency and food quality, and is often used for food baking, frying, etc. 2. When choosing a metal mesh belt in the food processing industry, in addition to the material, you also need to pay attention to the following aspects Clear use requirements and scenarios To understand the specific process of food processing, such as high temperature baking, low temperature freezing, frying, washing, etc., different processes have different requirements for the high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties of the mesh belt. For example, bread cooling can use an SR spiral tower mesh belt without a mesh surface, while nuts frying requires a small mesh eyeglass mesh belt. Mesh belt structure Common food processing mesh belt structures include chain mesh belt, herringbone mesh belt, spiral tower mesh belt, sidewall mesh belt, etc. Chain mesh belt is suitable for conveying medium-loaded items, spiral mesh belt can be used in quick-freezing equipment and other occasions that require turning, and sidewall mesh belt can prevent materials from slipping. Mesh belt specifications The mesh size should be selected according to factors such as the size of the conveyed items and ventilation requirements to prevent food from falling or affecting the processing effect. The mesh belt width should be determined according to the width and conveying volume of the conveyed items. It is necessary to ensure that the mesh belt can meet the material conveying requirements and match the size of the conveying equipment. The thickness of the wire diameter affects the strength and load-bearing capacity of the mesh belt. Mesh belts with thicker wire diameters should be selected in places with high load-bearing requirements. Surface treatment Metal mesh belts are generally degreased before leaving the factory, and pickled if necessary to achieve the expected conveying effect and hygiene requirements. Surface smoothness is also important. Choose a smooth and burr-free mesh belt to avoid scratching food or causing accumulation of food residues. Cleaning and maintenance Since food production has high hygiene requirements, the mesh belt needs to be easy to clean and can effectively prevent the accumulation of food residues and avoid cross contamination. Consider the maintenance convenience of the mesh belt, which is convenient for regular inspection, replacement and maintenance to ensure its long-term stable operation. Cost and benefit Consider the price, service life, maintenance cost and other factors of the mesh belt, and choose a product with high cost performance. At the same time, pay attention to its impact on production efficiency and product quality. In the long run, high-performance mesh belts may be more economical.

Balance mesh belt: the key to improving performance and lifespan

Balance mesh belt is widely used in the sintering process of powder metallurgy, ceramics, glass, electronics, chemical industry and other industries, such as high temperature sintering of powder metallurgy iron-copper based parts, high temperature sintering of thick film circuits, thick film resistors and other electronic components, and sintering of ceramic products, etc. Many customers have encountered a series of problems in the use of balance mesh belt. The following are some common problems and solutions. 1. Short life of mesh belt: material is very important The high temperature environment in the sintering furnace and the weight and friction of the material can easily cause premature breakage or excessive wear of the mesh belt. If the mesh belt material is not properly selected or the tension is not adjusted during installation, it will accelerate the damage of the mesh belt. Solution: Reasonable material selection is the key. According to the working temperature and process requirements of the sintering furnace, high temperature resistant, anti-oxidation and corrosion resistant materials should be selected, such as SUS310S, AISI314, nickel-based alloys, etc. During installation, a suitable tensioning device should be used and regularly checked and adjusted to ensure that the mesh belt tension is moderate. At the same time, the material should be evenly distributed to avoid local overload to reduce the pressure on the mesh belt. 2. Mesh belt deformation: mesh belt specification design should not be underestimated Under the high temperature and tension of the sintering furnace, the mesh belt is prone to elongation and deformation. When the elongation is too large, the mesh belt and other parts in the furnace will have problems, resulting in deviation, jamming and other faults. Solution: In the design stage, fully consider the thermal expansion coefficient and use environment of the mesh belt, and reasonably design the size and structure of the mesh belt to increase its rigidity and reduce the possibility of deformation. 3. Cleaning and maintenance: regular maintenance is important During the sintering process, the material is easy to adhere to the mesh belt, and it will sinter and carbonize at high temperature to form hard lumps that are difficult to clean, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance cost of the mesh belt. Solution: Develop a regular cleaning plan, clean up carbon deposits, dust and other impurities on the surface of the mesh belt in time, and keep the mesh belt clean. In daily maintenance, check the operation of the mesh belt and repair it in time if it is slightly damaged. 4. Mesh belt deviation: The mesh belt debugging process is very important Uneven installation, uneven wear of guide rails, uneven material distribution, deformation of the mesh belt itself and other factors may cause the mesh belt to deviate during operation. Deviation will cause the edge of the mesh belt to rub against the furnace wall or guide rail, damage the mesh belt, and make the material unevenly distributed, affecting the sintering quality. Solution: Strictly calibrate the position of the mesh belt and the guide rail during installation to ensure that they are parallel. Regularly check the sensitivity and reliability of the deviation correction device to ensure that it can play a role in time when the mesh belt deviates. Reasonably distribute materials during production to avoid deviation due to uneven force on the mesh belt caused by uneven material weight. Although the sintering furnace mesh belt is small, it has a significant impact on production. Enterprises should pay attention to its management and maintenance, and extend the service life of the mesh belt and improve production efficiency and product quality through reasonable material selection, correct installation, and careful maintenance. If you have more questions, please feel free to consult, we will wholeheartedly provide you with solutions.
