T3 Heat-Resistant Conveyor Belt: Conquering Extreme Temperatures Across Diverse Applications

Where Does the T3 Shine?

The T3 belt finds its niche in industries where materials are transported at scorching temperatures. Here's a glimpse into its diverse applications:

1. Metallurgy:

• Scenario: Moving sintered ore from the furnace, which can reach temperatures well above the limits of T1 and T2 belts.

• Customer Concern: "Can the belt withstand the extreme heat of freshly sintered ore without degrading rapidly? We're talking about temperatures around 150°C for extended periods, and peaks even higher."

• Answer: Absolutely. The T3 is rated for continuous operation with materials at 150°C and can handle short-term peaks of up to 200°C. Its specialized construction, including the heat-resistant scorching layer that forms a protective microporous carbonized layer and a robust EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) cover, ensures it can handle the heat. The recommended thickness of the cover rubber is 6-8mm for the top cover and 2-4mm for the bottom cover. The lifespan is also influenced by the surface temperature of the belt.

2. Cement Plants:

• Scenario: Transporting hot cement clinker from the kiln to the cooling zone. Clinker temperatures can be extremely high, demanding a belt that can resist thermal shock and abrasion.

• Customer Concern: "We need a belt that can not only handle the heat but also the abrasive nature of clinker. Will the T3 hold up under such harsh conditions? What about the belt core material?"

• Answer: The T3 is designed for this. The EPR cover provides excellent heat and abrasion resistance. The core, typically made of high-strength polyester (offering significantly better performance than the outdated cotton with its mere 56N breaking strength), provides the necessary tensile strength and stability. Polyester's lower stretch, compared to nylon's potential 700 N/mm per layer strength but higher elasticity, ensures the belt maintains its shape under load and temperature.

3. Coking Plants:

• Scenario: Conveying hot coke after it's been quenched. The coke is still extremely hot and can be abrasive.

• Customer Concern: "Coke can be very damaging to belts. How does the T3 prevent damage from both the heat and the sharp edges of the coke?"

• Answer: The T3's robust construction is key. The multi-layered design, including the heat insulation layers, protects the belt's core. The thick EPR cover (again, 6-8mm top, 2-4mm bottom) is formulated to resist abrasion and the formation of the protective carbonized layer helps mitigate heat damage. The belt also meets rigorous standards like HG2297-92 and GB/T20021-2005.

4. Steel Industry

• Scenario: Conveying hot-rolled steel products. These steel products have extremely high temperatures when they are being conveyed.

• Customer Concern: "Can the T3 conveyor belt withstand extremely high temperatures when conveying hot-rolled steel? What is the maximum instantaneous temperature it can withstand?"

• Answer: The T3 conveyor belt can withstand extremely high temperatures. The T3 conveyor belt is designed for high-temperature environments and can withstand continuous material temperatures of up to 150°C and short-term peaks of up to 200°C. Its special construction, including a heat-resistant ablation layer that forms a protective microporous carbonized layer, ensures it can handle the heat. 

Key Takeaways:

• Temperature Rating: T3 belts are rated for 150°C continuous material temperature and 200°C short-term peaks.

• Material Advantages: EPR cover for superior heat and abrasion resistance; polyester core for strength and stability.

• Robust Construction: Multi-layered design with a protective carbonized layer on the cover rubber.

Conclusion:

The T3 Heat-Resistant Conveyor Belt is a workhorse designed for extreme environments. Its ability to withstand high temperatures, coupled with its robust construction and resistance to abrasion, makes it an invaluable asset in various industries. By understanding the specific needs of each application, businesses can leverage the T3's capabilities to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable material handling, even under the most challenging conditions. The T3 is not just a conveyor belt; it's a solution engineered for extreme heat, proving its worth where other belts simply can't compete.
