Flat Wire Mesh Belt- Application Of Catalyst Drying Equipment

In the drying production process of catalysts, the uniformity of the drying stage and the stability of transportation directly determine the core performance indicators such as the activity, selectivity and strength of the final catalyst.

If uneven heating occurs during the drying process, it can easily lead to uneven distribution of active components, grain growth or local sintering. This not only results in substandard product performance but also may cause a significant increase in the loss of valuable raw materials and rework costs, greatly reducing the overall production efficiency.

Today, we would like to share with you an application case of 500mm wide flat wire mesh belts in the conveying of drying equipment.

I. Core Advantages of flat wire Mesh Belt Applications

The customer's catalyst drying equipment has used traditional chain mesh belts for conveying. There is still considerable room for improvement in the load-bearing strength of the mesh belt and the air permeability of the mesh belt's through holes. However, the drying efficiency of the catalyst was not satisfactory.

In response to the customer's load-bearing requirements, the need for smooth conveying and large through holes, we recommended the flat wire mesh belt made by our company's fully automated equipment.

1. The large transparent mesh size enhances the drying performance

The unique format of the flat wire mesh belt, with a mesh size of 24*27.3mm, effectively increases the ventilation area compared to chain mesh belts.

When the catalyst particles enter the drying chamber along with the mesh belt, the hot air flow can quickly penetrate the mesh holes, achieving synchronous heating inside and outside the catalyst particles and uniform descent of the moisture gradient, effectively avoiding problems such as aggregation of active components and abnormal grain growth.

2. Gear-driven, smooth conveying

The flat wire mesh belt of Kansai Metal Mesh is made with fully automated equipment, featuring high precision of mesh holes and is driven by dedicated gears.

Even a 500mm wide mesh belt can maintain smooth conveying. There is no concave phenomenon in the middle of the mesh belt, and no tooth skipping or jamming occurs along the running trajectory.

3. Strong load-bearing capacity

The grid style of the flat wire mesh belt features a mesh thickness of 1.5mm and a width of 12.7mm. Compared with the structure of the chain mesh belt, it has a stronger load-bearing capacity.

When carrying catalyst particles 500mm wide (whether spherical, columnar or strip-shaped catalysts), it can effectively avoid particle damage caused by local accumulation and uneven force, while ensuring the uniform arrangement of the catalyst and guaranteeing consistent heating.

Ii. Key Points for the Scientific Selection of flat wire Mesh Belts: Materials + Craftsmanship

During the drying process of the catalyst, not only the conventional working conditions of 120-300℃ are faced, but also trace amounts of acidic or alkaline corrosive gases produced by the decomposition of the catalyst precursor are present in some cases. Therefore, the material selection of the Great Wall mesh belt is of vital importance.

Selecting SUS304/SUS316L materials that comply with international standards is the foundation for ensuring the service life of the mesh belt.

In terms of craftsmanship, the flat wire mesh belt made by fully automated equipment can ensure the precise size of the mesh holes, which is the fundamental guarantee for the belt not to skip teeth or deviate during high-speed operation.

We support customers in determining the dimensions and material composition according to the drawings (using spectral analysis), which is not only a confidence in the product quality but also a responsibility for the production efficiency of the catalyst products.

Scientific specification design

The specifications of the flat wire mesh belt, such as the mesh size, plate thickness and belt width, need to be precisely matched through "scientific calculation methods" based on the characteristics of the catalyst, drying temperature and conveying speed and other working condition parameters.

This customized computing capability is also the core criterion for measuring the technical strength of mesh belt manufacturers.

Brand manufacturer: Balancing quality and service

Choosing the flat wire mesh belt from a well-known brand manufacturer not only enables you to obtain customized design solutions and precise data support that fit the catalyst drying conditions, but also allows you to enjoy comprehensive after-sales service.

For drying equipment manufacturers, choosing high-quality brand mesh belts can better ensure the core performance of the equipment, enhance market competitiveness and customer trust.
