Dependability
Undoubtedly the best feature of the Magaldi
Superbelt is its dependability. Unlike other conveyors, the
Magaldi Superbelt cannot fail suddenly and keeps on running
even in emergency conditions.
A rubber belt can be burned by hot material
or can be cut by a sharp piece, in an apron conveyor a chain
can suddenly break, whereas none of similar events can affect
the Magaldi Superbelt.
Even if the belt gets damaged locally, it continues
to operate without danger of unexpected failure until the next
maintenance outage.
High temperature operating ability
The Magaldi Superbelt withstands higher temperatures
than any other conveyors because all its components are made
of steel and are free to expand in any direction, without distortion.
Pans and mesh steel quality are selected to meet any specific
requirement.
Impact resistance
The Magaldi Superbelt has a natural elasticity
and is supported by idlers across its entire width, which gives
it a great ability to absorb mechanical impacts. In impact areas,
the idlers are closely spaced so that the impact is distributed
over a large area.
Low wear, long life
Wear of the Magaldi Superbelt is negligible,
because there is no relative motion between the belt and the
material transported on it, and there are no internal moving
parts subject to friction.
As a result, even in the heaviest applications
the average expected life of the Magaldi Superbelt is 10 years.
Low operational & maintenance costs
The Magaldi Superbelt has no chains, wheels
or sprockets so the only points requiring lubrication are the
drive and tail pulley bearings. Idlers and rollers are life
lubricated.
Replacement of idlers is easy and quick,
just like in rubber belt conveyors.
The Magaldi Superbelt requires less power
than apron conveyors or drag chain conveyors.
The Magaldi Superbelt lasts longer than other
conveyors.
Safe and clean working environment
The overlapping belt pans fit so tightly
that there is no clearance between adjacent plates, so no leakage
of fines occurs.
The Magaldi Superbelt runs smoothly, with
a noise level normally under 65 dB.
Cost-effective retrofitting
The concept of the Magaldi Superbelt is similar
to traditional belt conveyors in most cases, which allows retrofitting.
The carrying idlers and return rollers can be
fitted on existing frames of rubber belts or apron conveyors,
turning old equipment into a much more dependable Magaldi Superbelt
conveyor.
