Abstract
This chapter summarizes a wide variety of steel-belt applications and the important steel-belt properties that make the applications successful. The general categories are material handling, food processing, industrial processing, and presses for particle boards, plastics, and rubber. The selection of belt material is governed by the product to be conveyed and the process conditions. For the large majority of applications, four grades of steel conveyor belts are used: austenitic stainless steels, hardened and tempered carbon steel, low carbon martensitic stainless, and precipitation-hardened stainless steel. The chapter also describes the applications and process for which steelbelt conveyors have been selected as the best of competing alternatives, including the types of materials used for conveyor belts. There are numerous grades of steel that can be rolled and processed to be suitable for use as a conveyor belt.
