Closed belt surface versus open area of grid belts Flat Top Belts are designed to provide a totally closed top surface (0% open area). Flush Grid Belts are designed to allow the maximum air and fluid flow through the belt, allowing more effective and efficient cooling or washing of the product during conveying. The following open area definitions are used (for individual figures see product data sheets).
Open area (free flow): This is the effective area (%) of vertical openings in the belt. It is relevant for the flow rate through the belt (resistance to air and water flow). Open contact area: This is the area of the belt (%) which is not in contact with totally flat product conveyed on its surface. This figure is larger than the open area and relevant for the contact of air to the product surface for cooling operations.

Open hinge design For food applications where sanitation is critical, special link designs are used, which provide gaps between the links and thus allow access to the partially exposed hinge rod. The patented oblong pivot holes, which improve the accessibility, are offered in certain styles. Sanitation is improved and the pivot rods can be visually inspected without disassembling the belt. For the Flat Top open hinge design the hinge area opens as the belt travels over the sprockets to provide access from the top and bottom of the belt during sanitation. Dynamic open hinge design The belt underside features for certain belt types the dynamic open hinge . Compared to the common open hinge, the scalloped hinge design creates an even bigger gap without weaking the hinge strength. Further the gap width will increase dynamically as the belt articulates around the conveyors sprockets and thus eases the removal of debris. It is specifically designed to reduce cleaning time and costs, meeting highest HACCP requirements.
M5060: Reverse side with dynamic open hinges Product conformity FDA (Food and Drug Administration) HabasitLINK is offered in materials which are in compliance with FDA, 21CFR, e. g. part/section 177 .1520, 177 .2470, 178.3297 and acceptable for direct food contact. EU conformity HabasitLINK is offered in materials which are in compliance with the Directive 2002/72/EC and AP (89) 1 as to direct contact with foodstuffs. USDA Meat & Poultry acceptance Several HabasitLINK belt design have been tested and approved by the NSF , certifying to fulfil the standard NSF/ ANSI/3A 14 159-3. USDA certificates based on this are available with Habasit. USDA Dairy acceptance Several HabasitLINK PP belt designs are 3A approved which is a precondition for the USDA Dairy acceptance. Contact Habasit for details.

Sprocket engagement
The polygon effect (chordal action) Module and chain links moving around the radius of the sprocket causes the linear belt speed to vary. The pivot rod travels on the pitch diameter of the sprocket while the module moves through the smaller chordal radius causing a horizontal rise and fall of the module. This polygon effect is typical to all Modular Belt systems. The magnitude of speed variation is dependent on the number of sprocket teeth.

Driving shafts can be square or round. Square shafts allow the sprockets to move easily on their shaft to follow the thermal expansion or contraction of the belt. In addition square shafts allow higher transmission of torque. The center sprocket is usually fixed for tracking of the belt. Idling shafts can be equipped with sprockets, coated drums, steel rollers or plastic discs. Alternative tracking methods are required if no sprockets are used. Slider supports on the transport side, with parallel or V-shaped wear strips carry the moving belt and load. Belt support on the return way can be equipped with rollers or longitudinal wear strips (slider support). Catenary sag is an unsupported length of the belt for absorbing belt length variations due to thermal expansion, load changes of belt wear and belt tension. Take-up device for adjustment of the catenary sag may be screw type, gravity or pneumatic type. Effective tensile force (belt pull) is calculated near the driving sprocket, where it reaches in most cases its maximum value during operation. It depends on the friction forces between the belt and the supports (ST) (SR) as well as friction against accumulated load.

Belt speed: Applications exceeding 50 m/min (150 ft/min) negatively affect the life expectancy of the belt. For speeds higher than 50 m/min always consult a Habasit specialist. Chain links moving around a sprocket cause the belt speed to vary. The rod travels on the pitch diameter of the sprocket, while the middle of the module moves through the smaller chordal radius. The polygon effect is also called chordal action. The magnitude of speed variation is depending on the number of sprocket teeth only. The higher the number of teeth the smaller the speed variation. Conveyed product weight as expected to be distributed over the belt surface; calculated average load per m2 (ft2). Belt mass (weight) is added to the product mass for calculation of the friction force between belt and slider frame.

900-1200mm (35"-48")
For speeds higher than 50 m/min (150 ft/min), always consult a Habasit specialist. Gravity take-up For heavily loaded long belts and/or high speed (over 15 m/min) and/or with frequent starts the catenary sags may not sufficiently tension the belt to prevent sprockets from disengaging. In such cases the gravity take-up (G) can be an adequate solution. Recommended tensioner weight:
Belt type for 0.3" belts for 0.5" and 1" belts for 1.5" and 2" belts for 2.5" belts Tensioner weight per m (ft) belt width 10 kg/m (7 lb/ft) 15 kg/m (10 lb/ft) 20 kg/m (14 lb/ft) 25 kg/m (17 lb/ft)

Bi-directional conveyor and pusher drive (push/pull action) It is possible to apply one head drive motor for bi-directional reversible driving. For reverse driving (push action = pusher drive), a screw type take-up (TU), or a spring or a pneumatic tensioning device with 110% pretension of the expected belt load is recommended. The shaft load will increase to:
FW = 2.2 FE (see also calculation guide page 73).
In case of a bi-directional pusher drive with tensioning device, the shaft load can increase to:
FW = 3.2 FE (see also calculation guide page 73).

Elevators without catenary sag On Z-conveyors catenary sags may not be accepted, neither on the upper nor on the lower horizontal belt section. This may be due to lack of space under the bottom conveyor end or too short horizontal sections. A tensioning device with fixed adjustment to the belt length as shown on the illustration above is not acceptable, since wear and temperature variations cause the belt length to change. It must be strongly recommended to use a self-adjusting tensioner device. This can be a soft spring type, gas loaded spring or pneumatic tensioner type. The optimal layout of the spring or pneumatic cylinder is depending on the belt type, conveyor width and temperature conditions. The minimum free movement of the tensioner must be min. 20% more than the calculated belt elongation between lowest and highest process temperature. The belt elongation due to abrasion should also be considered. The force should be as low as possible, but high enough to overcome eventual friction forces of the belt on its return way, to straighten it and to engage the sprockets safely. As a general rule the following tensioner force is proposed:
Belt type Tensioner force per m (ft) of belt width for 0.5" and 1" belts 15 kg (10 lb) for 1.5" belts 30 kg (20 lb) for 2" belts 30 kg (20 lb) for 2.5" belts 35 kg (23 lb)
In cases where lc < 900 mm (35"), or the above conditions for the inclination cannot be maintained, no catenary sag on the lower end is recommended. In this case maintain la 900 mm (35") and place the catenary sag on the upper end. For all other cases contact the Habasit representative.

Q depends on the belt width, see product data sheet. For best running conditions it is advisable to design the curves R of the conveyor near to the minimum radius. Bigger radius can lead to undesirable belt vibrations. Deviations of more than +0.3 of the collapse factor. Never go below the indicated collapse factor. For proper tensioning of the belt in operation it needs a catenary sag. For this reason the belt section l0 behind the driving motor must be straight on a length of preferably 1.5 x belt width (1.5 b0) with a minimum of 1 m (3 ft.). Place the longer straight section behind the driving motor instead near the idling shaft to lower the belt forces in the curves. For different requirements please contact the Habasit representative. A minimum straight section of 2 x belt width (2 b0) is proposed between turns in opposite directions. An absolute minimum straight length of 1.5x belt width is required. No minimum straight length between curves of the same direction. At the belt end, near the idling shaft, a minimum straight length of 1.5 x belt width (1.5 b0) is required.
Direction of movement Habasit radius belts are bi-directional. For radius belts with one curve and for spirals Habasit recommends to install the belts with the rod heads on the outside of the curve. For further installation instructions please consult the Installation Guidelines.

In an upgoing spiral a narrow light belt tends to flip up it therefore requires hold-downs over the outer belt edge. It is recommended to install a continuous hold-down guide in the first 1 12 turns after entering into the spiral and over the last turn before leaving.

Dead plates for product transfer Dead plates D are used for product transfer at the conveyor ends of Flat Top and Flush Grid belts. The discharge end should be adjusted to 1 mm (0.04") below the belt surface and the infeed end 1 mm (0.04") above the belt surface. The gap (X5) varies during belt movement, but should be as small as possible when the belt hinge passes the edge of the plate.

Further analyses of tensile forces caused by accumulated products Above equations with accumulation are based on the simplification that the product load per m2 of belt is the same over the accumulation length as when moving with the conveyor. This is generally not the case. In reality the density of the product distribution over the accumulation length la will be higher (can be double or 3 times). Since this value will often not be known it is common practice to use the same product load value for accumulation as for conveying. In this case the above formulas are used. The calculated force is somewhat too low, but normally not critical for straight belts. If the accumulated product load per m2 is known, and for more accurate calculation, it is proposed to replace mP in the term mP P la by mPa. The following formulas result: Horizontal straight belt with accumulation

For calculation of radius belts please ask Habasit for the calculation program LINK-SeleCalc. Note Due to the concentration of the belt pull (tensile forces) on the outer belt edge at curve end, the applicable number of curves is very limited. In practice 1 to 2 curves are often used. For long radius belts it is advisable to place the curve as near to the idling shaft as possible. This way the belt pull at the outer curve edge is minimized. Nominal strength for radius belts in curve The nominal strength for radius belts in curve increases with wider belts (bigger radius). Due to the smaller angle between the modules the forces are distributed on more links. In case of high loads the application of steel rods may be advisable to increase the belt stiffness. Please contact your Habasit representative for detailed information.

Appropriate quality of the conveyor, especially smooth and low coefficient of friction inside wear strips and smooth start-up are important. Belt at return way must be properly held down by wear strips or hold-down tabs according to page 48.

Lifetime (influence of belt length and sprocket / roller size) The calculation with cv is not taking into account theinfluence of the conveyor length and sprocket / roller sizes used. These design features are influencing the lifetime, because the number and angle of link rotations are depending on them. The bigger the number and / or angle of rotation the greater the wear in the link and the earlier the belt will be lengthened to its limit. General rule: Doubling of the length is reducing the number of link rotations by half and vice versa. Doubling the sprocket / roller diameter is reducing the angle of link rotation by half and vice versa.
Consequently the lifetime increases / decreases with the same relation. For the lifetime the lengthening of the belt is a main criterion. The initial length is measured after running-in, generally appr. 1 hour. General rule: The maximum allowable belt lengthening is approx. 3% of the belt length. When this value is reached, the belt should be exchanged. The lifetime cannot easily be predicted since the rate of wear in the links and consequently the lengthening is dependent on the process and environmental conditions (dust, sand and other contaminations).

Admissible sprocket load Admissible sprocket loads depend on sprocket type, sprocket size, shaft size and sprocket material. The admissible sprocket load is valid for molded solid sprockets (generally open window type). Big sprockets with small shaft bores may have lower admissible sprocket loads. The compliance of admissible sprocket loads is considered in LINK-SeleCalc program. General rules Split sprockets and machined sprockets may have higher admissible loads than molded one-piece sprockets. PP sprockets have 20% lower admissible loads. PA and ST sprockets have the same or higher admissible load than POM sprockets. Polyamide +GF , +HT and Super High Temperature belts should be used together with sprockets made of ST material. Sprockets for round shafts can have lower admissible loads due to higher contact stress in key way.

The experience shows that the sag of the dimensions proposed on pages 41 43 provides the belt tension needed for proper engagement of the sprockets. For belts running in cold environment (freezers etc.) additional belt length should be considered in catenary layout to compensate the belt shortening (refer also to next page).

lg, l0, lC = Length [m] dP = Pitch diameter of sprocket [mm] hC = Height of catenary sag [mm]
The calculated geometrical belt length (lg) is the total belt length, which equals to the length of the transport side plus return side and sprocket circumference plus the excessive length of the catenary sag (lC). The final length of the assembled belt will be somewhat longer than the calculated length, due to clearance between the pivot rod and the bore in the link (hinge clearance). The excessive length may be around 1% of the belt length. Influence of thermal expansion After installation the belt may be heated or cooled by the process, its length will change and consequently the height hc of the catenary sag will change as well. The resulting belt length difference will have to be compensated within the tolerance of the sag height. For proposed dimension of the catenary sag see pages 41 43. The sag height should not be less than 25 mm. If the process temperature deviates from installation temperature, correct the calculated belt length as indicated by this formula.
