In the food baking industry, tunnel furnaces and carbon steel belts are indispensable key components in the production process. The service life and selection of steel belts not only directly affect production efficiency, but also are closely related to production costs. Especially in the high-temperature environment (200-300°C), the steel belt needs to withstand the test of oily materials, which puts forward high requirements for material properties.
Advantages of perforated carbon steel steel strip
At present, many domestic food baking equipment still use traditional stainless steel mesh belts, but this material is far inferior to open-pore carbon steel strips in performance and practical application. The open-hole carbon steel steel belt combines the advantages of mesh belt and plate belt, which can not only meet the production needs of mesh belt products, but also be used in the manufacture of plate and strip products. Some internationally renowned food companies and domestic large-scale high-quality baking enterprises have already begun to use perforated carbon steel strips.
Comparative advantages of perforated carbon steel steel belt and stainless steel mesh belt:
1. High thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of carbon steel is much higher than that of stainless steel, which can significantly reduce energy consumption during equipment operation and improve production efficiency.
2. Good demoulding effect
The open hole design facilitates product demoulding, ensures the integrity of the finished product, reduces material loss, and improves product quality.
3. Easy to clean
The open-cell carbon steel steel belt is easier to clean, less prone to microbial breeding, effectively improving food safety and reducing the cost of manual cleaning.
4. Long service life
The service life of high-quality carbon steel belt is much higher than that of stainless steel mesh belt, which reduces the frequency of replacement and reduces the production cost.
5. The structural design of the carbon steel strip is easy to repair and replace, reducing the downtime of the equipment.
Advantages of MINGKE CT1100 carbon steel strip:
1. High carbon content
CT1100 steel strip has a higher carbon content, which makes it have higher strength and wear resistance in high-temperature environments, and can withstand greater mechanical loads.
2. Excellent thermal conductivity
CT1100 steel strip has excellent thermal conductivity, which can conduct heat quickly and evenly, reduce energy consumption and improve baking efficiency.
3. High thermal stability
CT1100 steel belt is not easy to deform after heating, and has good thermal stability to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
4. Experimental data with strong anti-fatigue show that the CT1100 steel belt can resist flexural fatigue for more than 2 million times, has a long service life, and can maintain good performance even in equipment that runs continuously for a long time.
There are usually the following types of hole punching methods for steel belts:
· Laser opening: suitable for hole patterns arranged according to special needs, with high precision, suitable for complex designs.
· Corrosion opening: suitable for precision industry, able to achieve fine hole shape design.
· Die stamping: the most common, suitable for most application scenarios, low cost and high efficiency.
Application of steel belt in food baking equipment
Experimental data show that the number of times of buckling fatigue of the steel belt is about 2 million times. Because the tunnel furnace usually needs to run continuously for a long time, and the temperature in the furnace is high, the service life of the high-quality steel belt is generally about 5 years under repeated thermal expansion and cold contraction and hub refractive state, while the poor quality steel belt may only be used for a few months, or even less than a month. In addition, the unreasonable design of the equipment, the debris on the drive hub, and the deviation of the steel belt will also significantly shorten the service life of the steel belt. In order to control equipment and production costs, some users and equipment manufacturers try to purchase materials similar to high-quality steel belts for welding and drilling, but they often backfire. In fact, the production of steel strip is a systematic and professional process, which requires professional technical support.
Here are some suggestions to improve the service life of your steel belt:
1. Choose high-quality steel strips
High-quality steel belts are the basis for efficient operation of the equipment.
2. Choose a professional steel belt service provider
The professional service team is able to provide more reliable after-sales support.
3. Strengthen maintenance and upkeep:
· Keep the surface of the hub clean: avoid debris causing the steel strip to bulge or bulge.
· Check whether the steel belt is misaligned: correct it in time to avoid wear caused by misalignment.
· Check whether the steel strip has fallen off: prevent deviation or entangled in the steel belt.
· Check whether there is cracking at the edge of the steel belt: if so, please notify the professional for repair in time.
· Reasonable adjustment of tension: avoid elongation or twisting of the steel belt.
· Choose the right scraper material: Avoid using metal scrapers to prevent hard grinding and straining of the steel belt.
· Maintain the proper height of the scraper and the steel belt: Make sure that the distance between the scraper and the steel belt is appropriate.
Through reasonable selection, professional service and daily maintenance, the service life of the steel belt can be effectively extended, the production efficiency can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced.
