When a new high-temperature furnace began experiencing rapid stretching and unusual distortion of its conveyor belt, the client turned to Wire Mesh Products for a solution. What they found was not a minor flaw, but a series of fundamental manufacturing defects in the original belt’s construction.
This case study details how Wire Mesh Products diagnosed the problem and delivered a superior, precision-engineered belt that restored operational efficiency and provided long-term reliability.
A client, operating a new high-temperature furnace, faced a critical issue with their conveyor belt. The original belt was experiencing rapid stretching and unusual spiral distortion, leading to operational inefficiencies and premature belt failure. Wire-Mesh Products received two different belt samples for analysis.
Upon inspection, our team found significant manufacturing defects in the samples:
These findings confirmed that the original belt was poorly constructed and was the root cause of the client’s problems.
Wire-Mesh Products designed and manufactured a new, high-quality conveyor belt to replace the failing one. The solution focused on meticulous craftsmanship and precision engineering. Our team ensured that all critical dimensions—height, width, pitch, ID, and OD—were uniform across every spiral. This commitment to quality meant avoiding the shortcuts and manufacturing flaws present in the original product.
By providing a precisely manufactured belt with consistent dimensions and robust construction, Wire-Mesh Products delivered a superior product. This improved belt has significantly longer life, preventing the rapid stretching and distortion issues that were present in the original. This solution restored the client’s operational efficiency and provided a durable, long-term fix for their high-temperature furnace.
