Choosing the right conveyor belt is key to achieving consistent heat treatment and reliable production flow. At NUTEC Bickley, we match each belt type to your process, material, and operating conditions. Common conveyor belt options:

• Flat wire belts: good airflow, ideal for light-duty and preheating applications
• Mesh belts: Excellent heat uniformity for processes like annealing and tempering
• Chain conveyors: Heavy-duty, designed for large loads and precise tracking
• Slat (tabletop) conveyors: product stability and controlled positioning
• Custom designs: engineered combinations tailored to specific process needs

We select materials such as high carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloys based on temperature, load, and atmosphere to ensure durability and performance.

• Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for precise conveyor speed control
• Powered air seal curtains to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency
• PLC controls and data acquisition systems for automation and traceability
• Forced cooling systems for controlled temperature reduction
• In-Line washers and air blow-off units to streamline production flow
• Fume incinerators for emission control and safer operation
• Temperature uniformity certification to ensure consistent product quality
• Safety and maintenance features such as access doors and emergency stops

• Alloy steels for high-performance components requiring strength and durability
• Carbon steels widely used in automotive and industrial applications
• Aluminum parts, where controlled heating helps prevent distortion
