Dos and Don’ts: Tips for Operators

Steel belts made by Berndorf stand up to the constant dynamic stress from continuous bending and stretching, and also from heating up and cooling down, over a long period. The user, however, should take note of some do’s and don’ts: it is important that the user, Garherr emphasises, subjects all belt touching parts to constant visual checks, for significant dangers are lying in wait here. Deep transverse scratches on the outside of the belt produced during operation, for example, can cause belt cracks. One should also do everything possible to avoid making dents in the belt. During operation, every dent leads to four additional moments of stress per cycle until it may crack finally.

For use as a cooling belt, Garherr has the following valuable tip: “The cooling must always be applied evenly over the whole width, otherwise distortions due to temperature differences may arise.” If these rules are kept, a typical cooling belt can run problem-free for five to ten years, Garherr assures us.

A further prerequisite for fault-free operation of a steel belt installation, even under sharply varying conditions such as pressure and temperature, is a reliable belt tracking system. The “bernmatic” belt tracking system works on the principle of position adjustment. The core of the system is the adjustable support roller. By displacing it horizontally or vertically, the course of the belt is set precisely. The “bernmatic” software recognizes tracking trends and causes the control drum to slew in proportion to the deviation of the steel belt. A graphic touch-panel enables an analysis of the belt wander by means of the integrated trend recorder. Different interfaces enable connection to a superordinate system.
