Ceramic industry
Our conveyor belts are designed for use in the production of roof tiles, bricks, ceramic wall tiles and pavements.
Some of the conveyor belts for the ceramic industry are commonly used in trough conveyors especially after the atomizer – they have proven to resist the high temperature of the atomized clay.
For vertical bucket elevators, belts with high working load are recommended and our series of conveyor belts with polyamide buckets which are abrasion and temperature resistant are a lighter and more energy-saving choice compared to conventional metallic buckets.
Our ceramic industry belts are popular choices for conveying processed clay from molders, extruders, presses and cutters in roof tiles and brick production. Cleats and sidewalls can also be fixed to our belts which work efficiently as inclined conveying of powdered clay and minerals.
During the process of glazing, our PU round belts are used to convey the ceramic tiles through curves and the ridge top v-belts are used to carry the tiles fhrough liquid glaze. For general conveying of the tiles, our trapezoidal vee-belts (with rough top covers) are the preferred choice in many ceramic tile production plants.
What types of conveyor belts are best suited for high-temperature applications in the ceramic industry?
For high-temperature applications, particularly after the atomizer in ceramic production, conveyor belts that are designed to resist elevated temperatures are essential. Our conveyor belts specifically crafted for the ceramic industry excel in these conditions, ensuring durability and performance even when handling atomized clay.
How do polyamide buckets in vertical bucket elevators compare to traditional metallic buckets?
The use of polyamide buckets in vertical bucket elevators offers several advantages compared to traditional metallic buckets. Polyamide buckets are lighter, which results in reduced energy consumption during operation. Additionally, they exhibit superior abrasion and temperature resistance, making them an ideal choice for transporting materials in the ceramic industry.
What factors should be considered when selecting conveyor belts for ceramic tile production?
When selecting conveyor belts for ceramic tile production, it's important to consider factors such as temperature resistance, load capacity, and abrasion resistance. These characteristics ensure that the belts can withstand the harsh conditions of the production environment, especially in processes involving high temperatures and heavy materials.
