Belts

A natural rubber rich undertread layer can enhance the adhesion between belt or cap-ply and tread whilst a thicker subtread compound may be included to offer some additional benefits of low hysteresis for car tyres and low heat generation for truck tyres within the bulk of a thick section. The cure system needs better flexibility and low heat generation. Typically the cure system will be based on CV/SEV. A general composition for a tyre tread base is depicted in Table 41. 

The cure package is composed of a slow accelerator (DCBS, or TBSI) with a high level of sulfur for improving the bond strength between the rubber and brass layer. A typical formulation is shown in Table 42. 

Addition of Duralink HTS (hexamethylene-1,6-bis(thiosulfate), disodium salt dihydrate) improves adhesion characteristics under ageing environments (157). Formulations without H/R bonding systems are also available (157).

Tunnel dryers are shown in Fig. 3.15a. Wet material on trays or a conveyor belt is passed through a tunnel, and drying takes place by hot air. The airflow can be countercurrent, cocurrent, or a mixture of both. This method is usually used when the product is not free flowing.

Nitrophthalic acid. Equip a 1500 ml. three-necked flask, supported on a water or steam bath, with a dropping funnel, a mechanical stirrer and a thermometer the neck through which the stirrer passes should be open and the stirrer should be cormected by means of a belt to the motor (nitrous fumes are evolved in the subsequent reaction and these would damage the motor if supported directly over the reaction... 

As the demand for rubber increased so did the chemical industry s efforts to prepare a synthetic sub stitute One of the first elastomers (a synthetic poly mer that possesses elasticity) to find a commercial niche was neoprene discovered by chemists at Du Pont in 1931 Neoprene is produced by free radical polymerization of 2 chloro 1 3 butadiene and has the greatest variety of applications of any elastomer Some uses include electrical insulation conveyer belts hoses and weather balloons... 

One of the first successful techniques for selectively removing solvent from a solution without losing the dissolved solute was to add the solution dropwise to a moving continuous belt. The drops of solution on the belt were heated sufficiently to evaporate the solvent, and the residual solute on the belt was carried into a normal El (electron ionization) or Cl (chemical ionization) ion source, where it was heated more strongly so that it in turn volatilized and could be ionized. However, the moving-belt system had some mechanical problems and could be temperamental. The more recent, less-mechanical inlets such as electrospray have displaced it. The electrospray inlet should be compared with the atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) inlet, which is described in Chapter 9. 

In the earliest interface, a continuous moving belt (loop) was used onto which the liquid emerging from the chromatographic column was placed as a succession of drops. As the belt moved along, the drops were heated at a low temperature to evaporate the solvent and leave behind any mixture components. Finally, the dried components were carried into the ion source, where they were heated strongly to volatilize them, after which they were ionized. 

LC can be combined with all kinds of mass spectrometers, but for practical reasons only quadrapolar, magnetic/electric-sector, and TOP instruments are in wide use. A variety of interfaces are used, including thermospray, plasmaspray, electrospray, dynamic fast-atom bombardment (FAB), particle beam, and moving belt. 

Moving-belt (ribbon or wire) interface. An interface that continuously applies all, or a part of, the effluent from a liquid chromatograph to a belt (ribbon or wire) that passes through two or more orifices, with differential pumping into the mass spectrometer s vacuum system. Heat is applied to remove the solvent and to evaporate the solute into the ion source.

Belt-conveyor scales determine the amount of material being conveyed on a belt. A section of belt is weighed by placing the belt support rollers on a scale the belt speed is also measured. Weight and speed data are suppHed to a controller which integrates them to arrive at a material flow rate, often stated in tons per hour. The controller may display a flow rate, shut the conveyor down when a predeterrnined amount of material has passed, or it may be used to maintain a specified flow rate. Accuracy is limited because of the number of detrimental influences involved, eg, variable belt tension.

Process industries frequently need to weigh and control the flow rate of bulk material for optimum performance of such devices as grinders or pulverizers, or for controlling additives, eg, to water suppHes. A scale can be installed in a belt conveyor, or a short belt feeder can be mounted on a platform scale. Either can be equipped with controls to maintain the feed rate within limits by controlling the operation of the device feeding the material to the conveyor. Direct mass measurement with a nuclear scale can also be used to measure and control such a continuous stream of material. 

Advances ia grinding wheels, abrasive belts, and the grinding process have been controlled primarily by the development of abrasives and to a lesser extent by advances ia bonding and manufactufing methods. Without abrasives, modem iadustrial production would be impossible. The U.S. Government alone has over 300,000 tons of abrasives ia its strategic National Defense Stockpile (4). 

Sol—Gel Sintered Aluminum Oxide. A new and much more versatile sintered alumina abrasive is now produced from aluminum monohydrate, with or without small additions of modifiers such as magnesia, by the sol—gel process (see Sol-gel technology). The first modified sol—gel abrasive on the market, Cubitron, was patented (27) and produced by the 3M Corporation for products such as coated belts and disks. The success of this material promoted intensive research into sol—gel abrasives. 

Coated abrasive products, once limited to sandpaper in woodworking shops, are versatile and efficient industrial tools. Machines ranging from portable Sanders to giant slab conditioners and roU grinders utili2e coated abrasives. Abrasive belt machines now perform many of the operations that were once the exclusive province of grinding wheels. 

Coated abrasives are suppHed in widths ranging from 3.175 mm to 2.2 m in standard 45.7-m roUs. They are also formed into sheets, disks, and molded cods or rods. Belts, regularly suppHed in the widths mentioned, have been made up to 3 m wide.
