The surface temperature of the belt varies with the
type and size of the material being carried. With large lumps (e.g.
sintered ores, coke) which allow air to circulate, the belt surface
would be cooler than the lumps. |

In the case of powdery or similar materials, such as
cements, alumina, carbon black, etc., there is almost no temperature
differential between material and belt surface. Therefore, in selecting
a belt, it is necessary to know not only the temperature of the material
to be@carried, but also to have an accurate idea of the surface temperature
the belt will be operating at. Some examples of such temperatures
are shown in the following table. |
