CONVEYOR BELT ASSEMBLY
Conveyor belts are the workhorses of a foundry’s sand system. An undersized conveyor can cause your whole sand system to deliver sub-standard performance. States conveyor belts are designed for excellent service with less maintenance, the feeder bin and belt assembly is constructed from extra heavy duty components for greater durability. Heavy channels and angles are used for belt frame construction to meet constant duty applications. Pulleys are of rubber lagged head and turnclean tail types, and the drive features a shaft mounted double reduction speed reducer with V-belt drive and TEFC motor. More than ample carrying rollers under the feeder bin prevent sand leakage. On longer belts idlers are used to keep the belt from sagging. These rollers come in several styles from flat to a 35 degree trough. Skirt boards and rubber can be used on flat roller belts to help contain the sand. Adjustable belt take-ups and belt tracking adjusting screws are standard. Feeder bins are constructed from steel plate and perimeter reinforcements. Three coats of specially formulated epoxy paint will prevent rust on inside walls and aids sand flow. Exterior surfaces are finished with primer and one coat of machinery enamel. The belt conveyor and bin assembly is also available with a rotary brush aerator if needed.

Examples of types of Conveyor Belts and their uses:

Feeder Belts will feed sand to several different pieces of equipment, for example: Ringmullor, Molding Machines, Hoppers, Bucket Elevator, and Rotary Screens.

Cleated Belt is typically used to convey sand from a Ringmullor to the Distribution Belt. One of the great advanages to the Cleated Belt is that it is able to elevate sand in a short distance with a steep incline.

Distribution Belt Conveyor transports molding and / or prepared sand to the molding stations either single or multiple.

Standard Conveyor Belt delivers foundry prepared or return sand from the start to finish in a foundry sand system. Aerator Brushes can also be incorporated into the conveying system to aerator the prepared sand for the molding sequesce or used to reduce return sand lumps prior to the delivery into the Storage Bin Silo.
