Detailed Explanation Of The Advantages Of Three Edge Treatment Methods For Sintering Furnace Mesh Belts
Mar 30, 2026
Relevant data shows that edge damage accounts for as high as 35% of all scrapped cases of sintering furnace mesh belts, ranking first.
Once cracks initiate at the edges under high temperature, stress concentration propagates in a "cloth-tearing" manner, ultimately leading to the scrapping of the entire furnace mesh belt.
The three common edge reinforcement treatment methods for sintering furnace mesh belts are as follows:
- Hook Bending Treatment
The hooks are formed by extending the threading wires of the mesh belt, which enhances the load-bearing capacity and ductility of the edges and prevents tearing. However, it has high requirements for diagonal accuracy; otherwise, the mesh belt is prone to deviation.
- Hook Welding Treatment
Metal hooks are welded to the edges to improve connection strength and facilitate installation and maintenance. This method is suitable for high-load scenarios or occasions requiring frequent disassembly and assembly.
- Baffle (Flanging) Treatment
Baffles are added or flanging is performed to prevent material slipping and enhance the wear resistance of the edges at the same time. It is applicable to the conveying of fine or easy-to-scatter materials.
The above methods should be selected according to material characteristics, load requirements and furnace space to ensure the stable operation and service life of the sintering furnace mesh belt.
A proper choice of edge treatment method can extend the service life of the sintering furnace mesh belt from 6 months to 6-18 months, and reduce the life cycle cost of the sintering furnace mesh belt by more than 30%.
