Inclined conveyance
Belts with coarse or friction-resistant surfaces are available for inclined conveyance without cleats. Normally, belts with higher friction coefficients can convey at higher angles, but exposure to dust, dirt and moisture may lower performance. SL-MC300 and SL-MC400 ( “Mr. Climber” belts) have a high friction coefficient and are resistant to dirt.
Low noise capability
The low noise specification uses a softened belt backside to reduce the abrasive sound generated when the belt touches the belt support, such as an iron plate. The effect is normally about 5db, but this depends on the conveyor, the operating environment and peripheral equipment. Please consider these factors, and consult with Bando or your distributor for effectiveness in a specific application.
Sliding of objects on belts
High-hardness polyurethane-covered models and models with an uncoated canvas surface are often used in applications where the object being transported must be able to slide on the belt, for example to allow alignment, ejection, or quantity-based arrangement of objects. Anti-stick polyurethane models are also sometimes used in such applications. The ease with which transported objects slide on the belt is affected by factors such as the belt’ S surface material and shape. If necessary, you can use a sample to check the ease with which your application’ s transported object slides on the belt.
SUNLINE Belts can be joined using hot or cold jointing methods. Joint types include finger, overlap, lace (fastener), but most common are finger or overlap.
Finger joints
Small pulleys and knife edges require flexibility, so smooth belt surfaces and precision thickness is required. This type of joint is not appropriate for high temperature areas or for roller applications with clinging matter on the belt.
Overlap joints
Small pulleys and knife edges require flexibility, so smooth belt surfaces and precision thickness is required. This type of joint is not appropriate for high temperature areas or for roller applications with clinging matter on the belt.
Double Finger joints (specialty)
Combination Finger and overlap joint. Easy use on small pulleys, and strong against foreign matter. Applicable for 2 ply belts.
Lace joints
Simple joining method using metal clips or fasteners to easily join and replace belts. However, joint strength is inferior to hot and cold joints.
V-guides can be used to prevent snaking. They can also be used to prevent products from falling off a conveyor by attaching them to the top of the belt, as V-guides are longitudinally Flexible.
