When you replace plastic and rubber belts with metal belt

When you replace plastic and rubber belts with metal belt


We hav been appealing metal belts for more than 30 years.
But we still find many people who are not familiar with metal belts.
This cannot be helped in a way.
 
However, those people suddenly face problems like trasport under heat, belt elongation, or viblatin of the transport surface.
Then metal belts emerge in ther mind.
We have many phone calls of those people in Japan and email questions from all over the world.
 
These calls and  emails are very important to us.
Becuase there are key engineering points when metal belts are introduced for the first time.
 
Here in Japan we lend conveyors like the picture below.
 
Steel Belt Conveyor: CC 500mm, Metal Belt covered with Green Fluorescent Coating,
Belt Thickness 0.15mm, Belt Width 50mm
 
With overseas users we listen to their situations and lend the conveyor when conditions are agreed.

DYMCO Serves Stainless Steel Belt Food Conveyor

DYMCO Serves Stainless Steel Belt Food Conveyor

Many conveyors are working in Food production, plastic belt conveyors in most cases.
But DYMCO make food conveyors using stainless steel belts.

Metal belts are superior in life and shows resistance against corrosion and chemicals in cleaning materials.
Stainless steel belts best fit heating, drying, and cooling.

Stainless steel itself does not kill bacteria,
but it rejects incoming of viable bacteria on to belt surface.
Bacterial does not grow in the belts. 
Food items are also directly placed on the a clean metal belt surface.
These good things are only found in metal belts.

No atrophy or deterioration take place either when washing with very hot water or Alkaline chemicals.

The tail of our conveyor is easily lifted up so that washing and belt exchanges are done smoothly.

Food conveyance tests in our lab are also welcome.

Vacuum Conveyor Application Video: Pulling in Film and Metal Foil / Tension Adjustment


We are focusing our sales on suction conveyor.

A conveyor, in general,  carry things.
In addition, suction conveyor can tow a continuous film, metal foil and metal strip under tension like in the video below.
In this test we applied tension by weight.
The degree of tension is adjusted easily by controlling suction.
Material is pulled without wrinkles and without vertical movement like the below.


In both sheet feeding and roll-to roll, films and metal foils are pulled on a belt by vacuum and those thin material stay flat on the belt.

Continuous Monitoring on Wok Temperature - Double Steel Belt Heat PRess Machine

Continuous Monitoring on Wok Temperature - Double Steel Belt Heat Press Machine

Our Doubel Steel Belt Press and Heat, the picture below, has heating blocks in orange.
2 orange blocks in the upper conveyor.  The one on the left is for pre-heating.
Likewise there are 2 orange blocks in the lower conveyor. The one on the left is also for pre-heating.
There is clearance beween 2 heating blocks in the upper and other 2 heating blocks in the lower.
Load is applied from the upper blocks to the lower blocks.

A workpiece such as resin goes through the clearance.
It is heated and softened between steel belts.
It is also pressed and its thickness becomes depth of clearance.
Finally it goes out.

Structure of Double Steel Belt Press and Heat

During this process workpiece temperature goes up in the beginning 
and then is kep same for a while.
This change of temperature is shown in the fiture below.


A Workpiece Temperature Curve in Double Belt Heat and Press


A workpiece is processed, but we cannot watch it temperature.
But it is clear by temperature logging.
This logging is possible when you come to DYMCO and make tests.

If your try this test, please contact us.

Suitable method for continuous printing, and processing on paper, films, sheets.




When printing or processing continuously on the surface of a film, sheet, paper, etc., if the film stretches, moves or waves, it will not be possible to perform accurate printing or processing.

In those cases, Dymco's Vacuum/Suction Steel Belt Conveyor can help to perform accurate printing and processing.
This is because Dymco's Vacuum/Suction Steel Belt Conveyor does not transport the film by pulling force of winding rolls, but by holding it on a flat and smooth steel belt by suction.

The film is transported while the entire film is adhered on a flat and smooth steel belt by suction. So, the film can be transported smoothly and quietly without applying excessive force. As a result, accurate printing and processing will be possible.

DYMCO's Vacuum / Suction Steel Belt Conveyor can be applied to lot more interesting applications.

We are looking forward to hearing your interesting ideas on how to use DYMCO’s Vacuum/Suction Conveyor.

DYMCO's Double Steel Belt Machines



Dymco’s main product is stainless steel belts, but customers contact us are often unfamiliar with steel belts and they try steel belts for the first time.
There are a lot of applications with steel belts, Double Steel Belt Press is one of them.

What this machine can do is;
- Continuous forming process of heating, press, and cooling. This cannot be done without a high thermal conductivity of steel belts.
- Processed workpiece can be flat 
- Line speed can be faster because the heat press continues for a long time.

Customers can give a test with our demonstration machines at our laboratory.

2 double belt press machines are available for the demonstrations.

The second machine operate under maximum pressure of 3,000 kg, maximum temperature of 250. The belts are 400mm wide and cooling unit is installed after the heat press section.

We are frequently asked for the higher temperature. In that case, the first machine is capable of 350. We hear the needs for higher pressure, too. We are working on the modification of the demonstration machine to respond these customers’ needs.

Dymco’s machines are all custom, we design each steel belt machine based on customers’ needs and requirements.

If you are interested in Dymco’s steel belt machines, feel free to visit us.

Why not try stainless steel belts for your problems?

Why not try stainless steel belts for your problems?


It is becoming a bit warm in Yokohama.
But temperature goes up and down.  Let's take care of ourselves when seasons change. 

We are in full production and they are made to order.

We get an inquiry.   Sales person talks with a customer and decided the final specifications.  When all is agreed, we start production.

If the specifications are all set at time of inquiry, we may start production soon.


When we talk with customers, we receive questions, like,

"How can we make use of merits of steel belts?' or
"We are thinking a system this way.  Can we use metal belts for transport here?"

Key words of Inquiries these days are such:

・Food transport
・transport for heating or cooling
・transport in clean rooms
・flat welding-one-belts and seamless belts
・suction conveyance

We contact these customers and hear applications, what is conveyed, temperature and working conditions.

When you think of use of stainless steel belts,please be free to contact us.
