BMG's heat-resistant furnace shows increased durability with extended service life by three times
BMG's Power Transmission division offers a range of high-temperature Knuckleback belts designed to excel in demanding conveying applications near ovens, kilns, and furnaces. These belts are engineered to provide significant benefits and features that enhance productivity and durability in high-heat environments.
High Temperature Resistance
The high-temperature Knuckleback belts are specifically designed to operate in high-heat environments, maintaining their integrity and function without degrading. This makes them ideal for glass bottle manufacturing plants and other industries that require conveying components to withstand extreme temperatures.
Extended Service Life
Thanks to their robust design, these belts can last up to three times longer than conventional furnace belts. This extended service life reduces downtime and replacement costs, ensuring continuous operation and increased productivity.
Reinforced Proprietary Reverse Back-Edge Weld
A key feature of BMG's high-temperature Knuckleback belts is the reinforced proprietary reverse back-edge weld. This innovative design moves tension away from the weld area, preventing belt breakage and improving reliability in demanding applications.
Customizability
The belts can be fully customized to specific operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance for different conveying systems. This flexibility allows BMG to cater to a diverse range of industries and their unique needs.
Knuckleback Design
The knuckleback construction is effective for collecting and conveying items like bottles straight from the furnace. This design accommodates direct handling of hot products, making it a robust solution for high-temperature conveying applications.
Reduced Stretching and Camber
The robust design of BMG's high-temperature Knuckleback belts reduces stretching and camber in high-temperature applications, further extending belt life.
Additional Treatment for Enhanced Durability
BMG also offers Knuckleback Platinum belts, which undergo an additional treatment process to extend belt life by 25%. This makes them an even more durable option for high-temperature conveying applications.
Technical Advisory and Support
BMG provides a technical advisory and support service throughout Southern Africa. This ensures that customers receive expert guidance and assistance when selecting and implementing the most suitable high-temperature Knuckleback belt for their specific needs.
Food Handling, Bottling, and Packaging Standards
All products for food handling, bottling, and packaging applications from BMG meet the highest conveying and packaging standards for reliability, flexibility, safety, and consistent quality and hygiene controls. BMG specialists carefully select all products to ensure they meet these stringent standards.
Availability Across Southern Africa
BMG's services and products are available throughout Southern Africa. Workshops and stock depots are equipped with the latest tooling and equipment and are manned by skilled belting technicians.
Cooling System and Specialised Belts
For optimal bottle handling and safety in production, BMG advises bottles to be conveyed through a dedicated cooling system and then transported on a specialised Stainless-Steel flat top belt. In glass bottle manufacturing plants with high temperatures, BMG recommends installing flat top chains for efficient operation at a safe distance from high-temperature zones.
