The Magaldi Superbelt is made up of a steel
mesh belt, which carries partially overlapping steel pans forming
a virtually sealed belt conveyor.
The patented method of connecting the pans to
the belt leaves all components free to thermally expand in any
direction, without permanent deformation. As a result, the Magaldi
Superbelt withstands temperatures higher than any other known
competitive conveyor.
The Conveyor
The Magaldi Superbelt is supported by carrying
idlers across the entire width, in order to withstand heavy
mechanical loads. In impact areas the idlers can be closely
spaced or mounted on a shock absorber frame.
The driving force is transmitted by friction
between the head pulley and the belt, while a pneumatic take-up
device on the tail pulley supplies a constant tension.
Since there is no relative motion between the
belt and the material transported on it, the wear of the Magaldi
Superbelt is negligible.
Superbelt N
The Superbelt "N" type conveyor is used for
horizontal and inclined transportation (up to 28°) of bulk materials
as cement clinker, lime, magnesium oxide, lead, zinc and manganese
sinter, foundry sand, pellets, chips. It is generally used in
place of rubber belt conveyors, drag chain conveyors and vibrating
conveyors.
Superbelt E
The "E" type is a conveyor belt provided with
transversal cleats for conveying bulk materials up to 55° inclination.
It is used in place of corrugated side walls rubber belt conveyors,
bucket elevators and deep pan conveyors.
Superbelt P
The Magaldi Superbelt P type has been designed
to withstand very high mechanical impacts caused by heavy material
weighing hundreds of kilograms.
The Superbelt "P" type conveyor is used for horizontal and inclined
transportation (up to 35°) of heavy pieces such as castings,
sprues, forgings, scraps, crop ends.
It is generally used in foundries for transportation of castings
at the outlet of Didion drums, shake-outs or vibradrums.
It can resist to the shock loads generated by hammers, air cannons
or manipulators during the sprue removal operation.
Superbelt PR
The Magaldi Superbelt PR type has been designed
to facilitate the sorting operation in foundries.
Its design without sidewalls, allows the operators
to drag the castings over the lateral chutes during the sorting
operation.
It is mainly used at the outlet of the shotblasting, either
continuous or batch.
Thanks to the Superbelt smooth and noiseless operation, the
equipment can be used as a moving worktable, chipping and grinding
of the castings can be safely done directly on the belt, without
the need of lifting each single casting to place it on the lateral
worktables.
Superbelt PZ
Some applications may require a completely flat
surface of the belt. For these types of condition Magaldi has
developed a special version of the Superbelt P type that maintains
all the properties of the original one with the addition of
an extra feature consisting of a belt surface without steps
in the overlapping area of the pans.
Applications with robot or where the precise and repeatable position of the casting is required.
Casting sorting and degating, especially with automatic or semi-automatic systems (SUPERBELT PZ).
