Belts That Stand Up
to Sand and Cullet.
Glass making starts with a batch of silica sand, soda ash, limestone, dolomite and recycled cullet. Silica sand is one of the most abrasive materials a belt can carry, and broken cullet has razor-sharp edges. Near the furnace, material and surroundings can also be hot. Belts in a glass plant therefore need high abrasion and cut resistance.
Belts We Recommend
- Raw material unloading and sand handling: SAR grade belt or M-24 grade belt with a thick top cover
- Batch house conveyors and elevators: M-24 grade conveyor belts and bucket elevator belts
- Cullet return and crushing: cut-resistant M-24 or SAR belts; heat resistant belt where cullet is hot
- Iron removal from cullet: cleated magnetic separator belt
- Inclined feeding: chevron belt
Tips from the Field
Silica fines get between the belt and the pulley and wear both. Good scrapers and sealed skirting at loading points make a big difference. On the sand belts, moving to a thicker top cover (for example 6 mm instead of 4 mm) is usually one of the cheapest ways to get longer belt life.
