1. FOOD CONVEYOR BELT Belt type: DW Type Steel Endless Belt Feature: Stainless steel is the most suitable for food processing. Application 1. Food is directly placed on the belt and conveyed. 2. Cutting and cooking can be done on the belt, while foodstuffs are conveyed. Demerits of Urethane Rubber Belt Merits of Stainless Steel Belt ・Scratch damage may provide a hotbed for bacteria. ・Foodstuffs can be directly placed on the belt without concern for bacteria contamination. ・Frayed fiber may contaminate conveyed foods. ・The belts cannot be used under hot nor very low temperature. ・The belt requires...

2. HEATING CONVEYOR BELT Belt type: DW Steel Endless Belt Feature: Outstanding Heat-Resistance Conventional methods and their problems ・Plastic belts can not be used in high temperature over 100℃. ・Very small objects can not be conveyed on steel mesh belts. Merits of Stainless Steel Belt ・Elongation and deformation are quite small. ・Continuous heating is available in 100℃ and more. ・Steel belts return to the original form when cooled down. ・Very small objects can be conveyed on steel belts. ・Steel belts can be used for drying application. Notes: Steel belts have the record of in

3. TEMPORAL STOPPING CONVEYOR BELT Belt type: DW Type Steel Endless Belt Feature: Steel belts can let the objects slide on their surface by a stopping device due to its low friction coefficient Application Parts are retained by stoppers and until desired quantity is obtained and then released to the next stage. Demerits of Plastic Belt Merits of Stainless Steel Belt ・ Due to large frictional resistance between the belt and objects, motor sometimes halts by overload. ・Metal parts with burrs can be ・When objects have burrs, burrs damage plastic belts and belt life becomes short. ・Steel belts don’t...

4. VACUUM CONVEYOR BELT Belt type: DP Type Perforated Steel Endless Belt vacuum exhaust Feature: Dead-Flat belt surface Application: Positioning and Process of Films or small light parts Demerits of plastic belt Merits of stainless steel belts ・Plastic belt flatness cannot be controlled in vacuum. Flatness is not expected. ・Steel belts provide smooth and stable operation. ・Small holes can not be punched on belts. Holes smaller than 1mm are not possible. ・Belt surface is kept flat by suction. ・Vacuum hole design (size and pattern) is adjustable to each process. ・Minute perforation is available,...

5. POSITIONING CONVEYOR BELT Belt type: DP Type Perforated Steel Endless Belt Feature: Steel belts do not elongate and enable precise positioning. Applications 1.Positioning for inspection of electronic parts and PCBs. 2.Positioning of food and medical packages that are synchronized with automatic injection devices. Conventional methods and their problems ・Plastic and rubber timing belts elongates much. Positioning accuracy is not expected. ・Lots of dusts and contamination due to abrasion. Effects of stainless steel belts ・Jigs can be attached to the steel belts. This makes the whole units compact...

6. HEAT SEALER BELT Belt type: DW Type Steel Endless Belt Feature: Flat surface and High thermal conductivity Application: Continuous film is pinched between 2 steel belts, and thermo-compressed while it goes through heating zone. Conventional methods and their problems ・Process is not continuous, but is done by one after another sequence. ・Thermo-compression has been Merit of stainless steel belts ・Excellent thermal conductivity of steel belts results in improved productivity. ・Once steel belts are coated, nonadherent property is enforced. done on limited areas with electric heat wires. ・ Melted...

7. OIL SKIMMER STEEL BELT Belt type: DW Type Steel Endless Belt Feature: Efficient recovery of floating oil from oil mixed coolant water Application: Steel belts collect floating oil in degreasing washing machines, heat treatment basins, and sewerage treatment basins. Demerits of Plastic Belt ・Plastic belts deteriorate soon in acid and strong basic environment. ・Plastic belts are damaged in high temperature. They also elongate and belt tension adjustment is difficult. Merits of stainless steel belts ・Stainless steel belts are rustproof. ・It can be used in strong acid and basic environment. ・Steel...

8. ROBOT ARM DRIVING BELT Belt type: DO Type Steel Open Belt Feature: Precise power transmission without backlash Conventional methods and their problems ・Gear wheels and plastic timing belts have been used. ・Plastic belts elongate over years. ・Plastic belts do not withstand vacuum, heat, and other hard environment. ・Due to backlash and lost motion, precise positioning is not possible. Merits of Steel belts ・High rigidity and durability result in long belt life. ・Steel belts do not elongate over years. ・Steel belts work under vacuum and heat. ・When belt ends are fixed on pulleys, ‘non-backrush...

9. ELEVATOR STEEL BELT Belt type: DO Type Steel Open Belt Feature: Lifting and lowering stage by wound steel belts Application: Up and down operation Conventional methods and their problems ・Conventional design is wire type and air cylinder type, which combine LM guides and actuators. Merits of Stainless Steel Belt ・Elongation is limited, and the belts work best for positioning. ・Belt motion is much more smooth than wires. ・These devises require a lot of space. ・Take-up is not so easy in the wire type. ・Compact design is realized because of the belt winding structure. ・Steel belt life is long....

10. ACTUATOR COVER BELT Belt Type: DO Type Steel Open Belt Feature: Straight and tight dust cover Application: Steel belts serve as actuator covers and protect devices from dusts. Competing product Camber tolerance is not satisfactory.. Merits of Dymco Steel Belt ・Camber* is within 0.5mm and less per 2 meters. ・This merit guarantees no gap between the cover and the unit body. When magnetic steel material is chosen, the belt is firmly attaches to the unit surface and realizes the dust proof. Notes: 1.* This indicates straightness of belts. 2. In general JIS specifies 1mm / m, although it may differ...
