In ceramics manufacturing, tiles’ efficient movement, sorting, and processing is crucial for maintaining both production productivity and quality.
Conveyor belts are at the heart of this process, playing a crucial role in ensuring the synchronised movement of rollers and a controlled method for transporting tiles across the various stages of production.
The challenges of standard belting solutions
However, tile transport isn’t without its challenges. Standard belting solutions often struggle under the pressure of constant start-stop operations, leading to rapid wear on the toothed side of the belts used in roller conveyors.
The combination of high ambient temperatures and abrasive ceramic dust significantly accelerates wear, shortening belt lifespans. And with ceramic tiles varying in weight from as little as 0.01 kg to as much as 200 kg, the force needed to move them puts even greater strain on the belts, accelerating wear and increasing downtime.
These ongoing problems result in costly maintenance, disrupted production schedules, and decreased operational efficiency.
The solution: Megadyne MEGASYNCTM H EVO Gold Belt
The Megadyne MEGASYNCTM H EVO Gold belt is engineered to solve the issues faced by many in the ceramic industry. Its H-pitch profile, combined with a thicker fabric layer, provides greater strength and durability, standing up to the stresses of constant start-stop operations.
The belt’s rubber compound, with a hardness of 94 ShA, offers superior mechanical resistance compared to standard belts, helping it perform better under tough conditions. The reinforced cord and 70 ShA rubber cover keep elongation low, while providing excellent grip, ensuring stable and reliable performance even when handling heavy loads and fluctuating temperatures.
