Stainless Steel Is Resistant to Extreme Temperatures
Solar panels are produced by welding individual cells together using blasts of hot air up to 390°C (734°F). While other conveyor materials will warp or melt at these temperatures, the high strength stainless alloys in our PureSteel® metal belts resist the corrosion effects of the welding fluxes and minimize distortions from high temperatures in the process.
We offer a variety of stainless steel alloys with varying degrees of thermal resistance; this means our engineers can design the perfect stainless steel belt for your application, including additional coatings and surface treatments.
Perforations for Reliable Vacuum Transportation
Vacuum conveyors are often incorporated into the production process of solar panels. Our customers benefit from our custom perforated PureSteel® belts that work in tandem with vacuum systems to deliver smooth and precise movements. Belt Technologies is capable of customizing a perforation pattern to meet your specific needs or product configuration to ensure exact positioning.
