Mesh belt dryer is a common industrial drying equipment. It is usually used to send wet materials into hot air through a conveyor belt mesh belt to achieve drying purposes. Different materials may have different requirements for mesh belts, but generally speaking, mesh belts need to have the following characteristics and requirements:

  1. The material is resistant to high temperatures: The mesh belt will be exposed to high temperatures during the drying process, so it needs to be resistant to high temperatures. Common mesh belt materials include stainless steel, nickel alloy and heat-resistant alloy. These materials can maintain structural stability and strength in high temperature environments to ensure the normal progress of the drying process.

  2. Appropriate pore structure: The pore structure on the mesh belt plays an important role in the drying effect of different materials. The material needs good contact with hot air to evaporate moisture quickly. Therefore, the pore structure of the mesh belt should be designed according to the properties of the material and drying requirements to achieve appropriate ventilation and thermal conductivity.

  3. Strength and wear resistance: During the transmission of materials on the mesh belt, friction and wear may be caused to the surface of the mesh belt. Therefore, mesh belts need to have sufficient strength and wear resistance to maintain good performance over long periods of use. In addition, the weight and conveying speed of the material will also affect the load carrying capacity of the mesh belt.

 4. Flatness and surface smoothness: The flatness and surface smoothness of the mesh belt are crucial to the material transportation and drying effect. The flat mesh belt can ensure the uniform transmission of materials, while the smooth surface can reduce the resistance and friction between the material and the mesh belt.

  5. Cleanliness and ease of cleaning: Since materials may produce dust, residues, etc. during the drying process, the mesh belt needs to be easy to clean for regular cleaning and maintenance. In addition, some materials may be sticky, so the surface of the mesh belt should have anti-stick properties to prevent materials from sticking to the mesh belt.
