Heat Treatment
High-temperature belts for annealing, sintering and hardening furnaces.
Overview
Heat treatment furnaces punish belts. Thermal cycling, oxidation, load and long belt lengths combine to eat through under-engineered belts in months. The right specification runs for years.
Common challenges
- Continuous exposure to 800–1,150 °C
- Thermal cycling and elongation
- Heavy component load
- Long belt lengths and positive drive requirements
How ACME belts help
Compound balanced weave, gratex and chain-driven belts in high-temperature stainless grades provide the tensile strength, thermal stability and drive positivity these lines require.
Typical applications
Frequently asked
Which grade for a 1,050 °C sintering furnace?+
SS 314 or SS 310 depending on atmosphere and load.
How long should a heat treatment belt last?+
Well-specified belts run for two years or more in continuous operation.
Can you build attachments for component fixtures?+
Yes — flights, cleats and side skirts are standard.
