FAQ

Q: What are the steps for customizing a metal conveyor belt?
A: 1. Determine the type of metal conveyor belt you need. If you are replacing an existing metal conveyor belt, it is best to use the same type. If you are designing new equipment and are not sure which type of conveyor belt to use, you can share with us the information about the products you produce, the use environment, temperature, load bearing, etc. We recommend it to you based on experience.
  2. Determine the design parameters of the metal conveyor belt. If you already have the parameters of the metal conveyor belt, you can share it with us for review. If you are replacing an existing conveyor belt, we can show you the required parameters and measurement methods and send them to us after you measure. If you choose a conveyor belt for your new equipment and you are not sure what parameter conveyor belt should be selected, please share with us your application, and use environment, including temperature, humidity, load, operating speed, etc.
  3. Determine the delivery address and shipping method  Usually small pieces of goods can be transported by express, according to different countries and regions, the transportation time is 5-10 days. At present, many countries can also transport by train, which is also a very good choice. according to different countries and regions, the transportation time is 15-25 days. For large quantities of goods, we recommend shipping by sea, according to different countries and regions, the transportation time is 15-35 days.
  4. Quotation, usually FOB, CFR, CIF, FCA, CPT, CIP are available

Q: What widths are available for wire mesh conveyor belts?
A: Depending on the mesh, they range from 28mm to 4500mm.
 
Q: Are your metal conveyor belts and components suitable for food contact?
A: This mainly depends on the choice of raw materials. If you use it for food production, please let us know. We use raw materials that meet food-grade certification to produce conveyor belts for you, and we can provide food-grade certification (additional costs are required to obtain food certification).

Q: Are there advantages of wire mesh belts over plastic conveyor belts?
A: Metal conveyor belts are a clean-in-place style of belt, which means you do not have to remove them from the conveyor to clean them.  Metal conveyor belts are also metal detectable where plastic is not, which is especially important in food processing.  Metal conveyor belts also won’t catch fire.

Q: How fast can I run my conveyor belt?
A: It is not as much about the speed of the conveyor belt, but the number of revolutions.  The faster you run a conveyor belt, the more likely you will have to replace it in a shorter amount of time.

Q: How long will my metal conveyor belt last?
A: By their very nature, all conveyor belts have a finite life, including metal conveyor belts. However, it is a fact that the majority of conveyor belts do not wear out or “use up” their life. Most conveyor belts, if they actually do fail during use in a production environment, fail because of factors not related to strength, belt life, or robustness of the belt. 

Q: How do I select the proper metal conveyor belt for a new application?
A: Please contact our for assistance.
