The solid steel belt - or perforated steel belt - provides the ideal base on which a wide range of sticky, abrasive, liquid or pasty food or chemical products can be dried as for instance PTFE powder
- Steel belt based continuous running driers for chemical products such as caoutchouc, PTFE, detergent etc.
- Depending on the product type and size, drying systems with solid or with perforated steel belts are useful.
- Perforated steel belts have the advantage, that the drying media i. e. hot air can be transferred "through" the steel belt, so that the air is "touching" all parts of the product.
- Solid steel belts need to be used for products with small granule dimensions (otherwise the product would at least partially "fall" through the bore holes of the perforated steel belt).
- To support the drying process the solid steel belts are normally heated up.
- The moisture out of the product is transported by air flow cross the steel belt.
- The principle design consists mainly of a steel belt conveyor with endless welded steel belt. The upper steel belt strand is surrounded with a "drying tunnel" creating heat (i.e. by air, radiation, steam, hot water etc) and air which transports the moisture away
