Corrugator conveyor belts are specifically developed for corrugated board production lines and raw material double-facers.
They have a wide range of applications and are suitable for all known corrugating line models, with particularly significant results on new high-speed corrugating machines.
Structurally, there are two main types of corrugator conveyor belts used in corrugated cardboard production lines.
Corrugator conveyor belts typically withstand high temperatures, high humidity, high friction, and pressure from the pressure system during operation.
The woven cotton corrugator conveyor belt is made of multiple layers of cotton yarn and a chemical fiber blend, offering excellent flexibility, superior moisture absorption, and durability, making it suitable for medium- and low-speed corrugated line production.
This corrugator conveyor belt is made of nonwoven polyester fiber, with high tensile strength, dimensional stability, and good heat resistance. At the same time, the uniform pore structure of the needle-punched fiber ensures excellent breathability, making the conveyor belt suitable for high-temperature applications.
During corrugated cardboard production, the temperature on both sides of the corrugator conveyor belt rises significantly. Extremely high production temperatures and frictional loads, coupled with severe wear on both sides of the conveyor belt, lead to a significant reduction of its service life.
In this case, weaving organic aramid fibers into both sides of the corrugator conveyor belt helps it withstand higher-intensity stresses, extending its service life.
In addition to choosing the right corrugator conveyor belt weaving material, the strength of the belt is also a crucial factor in the efficiency of your corrugated cardboard production line.
If you produce three-layer corrugated cardboard, a light-duty corrugator belt is sufficient.
For heavy-duty cardboard with five layers or more, a high-strength corrugator conveyor belt is required.
The speed of the corrugator conveyor belt needs to be synchronized with the linear speed of the upstream and downstream equipment, and the error must be controlled within ±0.5 meters/minute.
In humid environments, corrugator conveyor belts made of water resistant materials are preferred. For use in high temperature production environments, a heat resistant coating should be added to the conveyor belt.
When replacing a corrugator conveyor belt, you should first determine the installation direction of the belt.
The correct direction is opposite to the opening movement of the canvas and cardboard strips during installation. Reverse installation may lead to problems such as abnormal belt elongation, reduced strength, and premature fatigue fracture.
Ensure the initial tension of the corrugator conveyor belt is appropriate. Too tight tension will cause structural stretching and joint cracking, while too loose tension may cause the corrugator belt to slip and deviate from its designated path.
When the machine starts running, do not put it into production immediately. Instead, run it slowly and observe whether the deviation and tension of the corrugator conveyor belt are appropriate. Check for problems such as automatic belt deviation, periodic oscillation, or serpentine fluctuations. Make timely adjustments until everything is normal before putting it into production.
Regularly clean paper scraps and adhesive residue from the corrugator conveyor belt to prevent foreign objects from abrading the surface.
Check the corrugator conveyor belt tension monthly. Avoid slippage caused by being too loose, and frame aging accelerated by being too tight.
Repair any localized wear or loose joints promptly to prevent the problem from escalating and affecting production.
