Foundry & Steel Conveyor Belts
Foundry & Steel Conveyor Belts
Conveyor belts for foundries, steel mills, smelters, forges, and metalcasting operations handling hot castings, slag, scale, quenched parts, and abrasive bulk materials at extreme temperatures. Texas Belting stocks high-heat EPDM and EPM belts rated to 700°F, hot stock and water belts, oil-resistant MOR rubber, and heavy-duty multi-ply constructions built to survive the most punishing environments in heavy industry. In stock and shipping from Houston, TX.
Conveyor Belts for the Foundry & Steel Conveyor Belts Industry
Foundry and steel mill conveyor belts operate in conditions that would destroy standard belting within hours — temperatures exceeding 700°F from hot castings and molten slag, abrasive scale and shot blast media that grinds through covers, quench water and cooling fluids that cause swelling in non-resistant compounds, and impact loading from heavy castings and scrap metal drops. Belt selection in these environments is not about cost per foot — it is about total cost of ownership driven by service life, unplanned downtime, and production continuity.
Texas Belting engineers belt solutions for every foundry and steel mill conveyor application. We match the right compound (EPDM for heat, nitrile for oil, SBR for abrasion), carcass construction (multi-ply polyester, straight warp, or solid woven), and cover thickness to the specific temperature, material, and duty cycle of each conveyor. Our high-heat belts, hot stock and water belts, and heavy-duty rubber constructions are stocked for immediate fabrication — because in a steel mill, every hour of downtime costs thousands.
Foundry & Steel Conveyor Belts Conveyor Applications
We supply belting for every stage of production and material handling.
Hot Castings & Forgings
Conveying castings, forgings, and hot billets immediately after pouring, forging, or heat treatment. Material temperatures range from 300°F to over 1000°F at the belt surface, requiring specialized heat-resistant compounds.
Recommended: High heat 400°F–700°F EPDM, silicone cover belts
Quench Tank & Water Cooling
Transporting parts through quench tanks and water baths where belts are continuously submerged. Standard rubber absorbs water and fails rapidly — specialized hot stock compounds resist swelling.
Recommended: Hot stock & water belts (standard, silicone, urethane top)
Shot Blast & Scale Removal
Conveying parts through shot blast cabinets. Steel shot, grit, and loose scale are intensely abrasive — belts need maximum abrasion resistance and thick top covers.
Recommended: Heavy-duty grade 2 rubber, urethane belts
Slag, Dross & Scrap Handling
Moving slag, dross, grinding swarf, and metal scrap from furnaces and machining operations. Materials are hot, abrasive, and often oily.
Recommended: MOR oil-resistant rubber, flame-resistant SC-MOR
Sand Handling & Mold Lines
Conveying green sand, resin sand, cores, and mold components in foundry sand systems at moderate temperatures with binder chemical exposure. Air slide fabric is used for pneumatic conveying of powdered materials like cement, alumina, fly ash, and soda ash in gravity-fed aeration systems.
Recommended: Grade 2 rubber, incline roughtop, air slide fabric
Bucket Elevators
Elevating hot castings, sand, scale, and bulk materials vertically. Must handle both loaded bucket weight and thermal stress, plus provide reliable bolt-hole retention.
Recommended: Rubber elevator belts (2–5 ply, 220–550 PIW)
