What is Sand Belt
It is a versatile tool for fabricators to quickly and efficiently complete the job. Sanding belts have taken the diligence out of wood and metalwork. Perhaps the foremost important, yet often overlooked, a component of the belt sander is the sanding belt. The actual part of the belt sander comes into contact with the workpiece and scrapes the layers away. Choosing the proper sanding belt may be a challenge, and failure can cause damage to both the materials you're performing on and the belt sander.
Benefits of Sand Belt
Compared with grinding wheel grinding machine, it is simple of a structure with short transmission chain for the sanding belt grinding machine. The main reasons are that the weight of abrasive belt is light, and grinding force is small, and the vibration is small when grinding, and the rigidity and strength requirements of the machine are far lower than that of grinding wheel grinding machine.
It is simple for operation for the abrasive belt grinding. Whether it is manual or motor-driven abrasive belt grinding, its operation is very simple. From the replacement and adjustable of the abrasive belt to the clamping of the workpiece, all can be done in a very short time.
The large sanding belt grinding ratio, high utilization of machine powder, and high cutting efficiency make the tools consumption and energy cost less for cutting the same weigh or same volume materials.
It is safe and reliable, and low noise and less dust, and easy to control and friendly environment for the abrasive belt grinding. Because the sanding belt is very light, there is no danger of injury even if it breaks off. The sanding belt is not like grinding wheel that removal sand is serious. In dry grinding, the debris is mainly the material of the workpiece will be processed. It is easy to recover and control dust. Owing to the rubber contact wheel, the abrasive belt cannot form the rigid impact on the workpiece, like grinding wheel. Therefore, the noise is very small when processing.
Long belt
The long and wide abrasive belts are ideal for edge sanders. They are considered as such when they exceed 3,001 mm in length. Its applications can be exploited on veneered surfaces, on plywood, and hard and softwoods. They can be used in all sanding methods, such as finishing or sizing.
Short belt
The short belts have a belt length from 690 mm to 3,000 mm. Highly refractory materials and stainless steel (INOX) can be used for sanding, as well as for aggressive sanding with maximum starting capacity on hard materials that are poorly conductive of heat.
Transverse belt
These types of belts have many uses; It can be used for the intermediate sanding of industrial lacquer systems, for the rectification of lacquer defects, for the rectification and tinting of primers or to section the vertical pile of the wood. It is also useful in intermediate sanding of thin layers of varnish or, with finer grains, for use on oily surfaces, treating high-gloss varnishes, rectifying lacquer defects and preparing for polishing on high-gloss surfaces.
Broadbelt
Wide belts are those that even go up to 1500 mm wide. They are used predominantly in the wood industry, for the removal of varnish defects, intermediate sanding in industrial varnish systems and sanding of high wood fibers, as well as for the grinding and shading of primers, intermediate sanding of thin layers of varnish and the final sanding to prepare the polish, among others.
Material of Sand Belt
Aluminum oxide sanding belts
Aluminum oxide usually appears with a particular red / brown color. It's so affordable, durable, and efficient at sanding wood also as metal. Alumina sanding belts are often used on virtually any quite sander to significant effect.
Zirconia alumina sanding belts
Zirconia grain is compatible with high machining and grinding applications. Usually a blue color, these sorts of sanding belts are considerably more rigid than alumina belts. They require tons more force to sand things effectively, and intrinsically, are best suited to surfaces like hardwood and metal that need heavy grinding. Zirconia sanding belts are mostly utilized in steel fabrication shops.
Ceramic grit sanding belts
Ceramic abrasives are more uniform in structure than alumina and zirconia sanding belts. Very similar to Zirconia belts, they're self-sharpening; however, they're also excellent grinding, which is extremely important when working with heat-sensitive materials. They're ready to breakdown surfaces in a controlled manner, which dramatically increases the number of available applications and is far and away from the most extended enduring belts. Ceramic sanding belts are often used on various metalwork tasks, including: finishing aluminum castings, finishing chrome steel, and even aerospace-grade titanium alloys.
Silicon carbide sanding belts
The natural sort of carbide is long, thin, and very sharp. They're incredibly sharp and more brittle than the opposite kinds of abrasive sanding belts and intrinsically break down at a way greater rate than other sanding belt choices.
Application of Sand Belt
Metalworking
Sand belts are commonly used in metalworking to grind, shape, and polish different types of metal surfaces, such as steel, aluminum, and brass. Metalworking shops use sand belts to remove rust, paint, and other surface imperfections from metal parts or to create specific shapes and finishes required for a particular application.
Woodworking
Sand belts are also used in woodworking to sand and smoothen different types of wood surfaces. Woodworkers use sand belts to remove rough surfaces, sand edges, and prepare surfaces for finishing. Sand belts can also be used to shape wood surfaces and create intricate patterns or carvings on wood.
Automotive industry
Sand belts are widely used in the automotive industry for sanding and smoothing different parts of the car, such as the body, wheels, and other metal parts. Automotive professionals use sand belts to remove scratches and paint imperfections from the car's surface and to create a smooth finish.
Construction industry
Sand belts are used in the construction industry for various applications such as sanding walls, floors, and surfaces. Construction professionals use sand belts to remove paint and other surface coatings from walls and to smooth out rough concrete surfaces before applying finishes.
Electronics industry
The electronics industry uses sand belts to polish and shape different types of materials, such as ceramics, glass, and metals, used in electronic components. Sand belts can work well with delicate materials and quickly achieve precise shapes without damaging the surface.
Process of Sand Belt
Gathering the materials
The first step in the production process is pulling the required materials for an order from our shelves. Our factory is stocked with thousands of square feet of various cloth and paper rolls. Everything is meticulously organized so that we can easily locate the rolls we need to begin production.
Cutting the materials to size
Once we’ve gathered the correct materials, we need to cut the roll to the right size and shape. Different machinery will be used depending on the type of abrasive. For sanding belts, we’ll create a ‘master web’ for narrow belts and single sheets for wide belts. For sanding discs, we use a sanding disc die cutting machine to cut the discs out from the rolls. From this stage, sanding belts will proceed to step three and all other abrasive products will skip to step five.
Joining sanding belt strip ends
Sanding belts require a few more steps than other abrasive products. For sanding belt orders, we'll join the ends of the strips we cut to form a belt. Our adhesive is our “secret sauce” for creating high-performance belts that won’t snap or break throughout the entire lifespan of the belt.
Curing the sanding belt joint
The joint of the sanding belt will need time to cure after the adhesive is applied. Curing is a chemical process that allows the adhesive to crystalize and produce a stronger bond. We make sure all of our belts are given enough time to properly cure in our ‘belt sauna’, which is a high-humidity and high-temperature room.
Order quality check
Our team will then perform a thorough quality inspection to make sure your order meets our standards. We check each and every product for imperfections or quality issues using our multi-point inspection checklist. For sanding belts, we’ll give added attention to the joints to make sure the adhesive is properly bonded. If needed, we will also ‘reslit’ any narrow belts by using a circular knife set to take the master webs down to single belts.
Order packing & shipment
After an order has passed inspection, we’ll package and label the products with care. We have a custom-designed packaging system that we created specifically for wide belts. Any wide belts will be packaged using this system to ensure damage-free delivery. The order will then be shipped out directly to our customer’s doors through our shipping partners.
Cleaning sanding belts
- One of the best ways to properly maintain a sanding belt is to ensure it's clean after each use so anything clogging them has no chance to set. Abrasive cleaning sticks are easy enough to use that you can clean your belts quickly after each use.
- Simply expose the sanding surface, turn your sander on, and run the stick lightly back and forth until the surface is clean. At that point, you can turn your sander off, remove the belt, and put it away.
Temperature and humidity
- Two of the biggest things that can damage your sanding belts are heat and humidity. You should try and store your sanding belts in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of around 45 percent.
- If you only occasionally use a belt sander, you might not find this feasible. However, for those whose sanders see more than occasional use, proper temperature and humidity are crucial to their belts' longevity. Low humidity can cause the belts to become brittle, while high humidity can soften them.
- Brittle or softened belts can snap while you're using them, posing a safety hazard. Storing them in temperatures and relative humidity levels as close to optimal as possible is critical not just to their lifespan but also to your safety.
Hanging sanding belts
- You should take your belts out of their packaging and hang them vertically at least 24 hours before you plan to use them. The wider they are, the more important this is because they need a chance to acclimate to your workspace.
- Use non-metallic racks with pegs that are at least four inches long on which to hang your sanding belts. Wooden dowels work well for this purpose. And it’s typically a matter of the larger, the better, depending on the size of the belt and your sander.
- Also, make sure your racks are at least one foot off the floor and one foot apart from one another. Avoid storing them directly on concrete, too, as concrete constantly releases moisture even in dry conditions.
How to Choose the Right Sand Belt
Choose an abrasive grade suitable for your task - Sanding belts come in a variety of abrasive grades, from coarse sandpaper to extra fine sandpaper and everything in between. When selecting the correct belt grade for your sanding job, consider the type of material that you’re sanding and the desired finish. Coarse abrasives are best for removing stock quickly; medium-grade sanders are good for smoothing surfaces; and fine sanders are great for creating a smooth, even finish without leaving marks or scratches.
Consider the grit size - The grit size of an abrasive is measured in terms of how many particles per inch it contains. For instance, very coarse sandpaper has a grit size of 36, while extra-fine sandpaper has a grit size of 400. The larger the grit number, the finer the sanding belt. Keep in mind that you should choose sanders with the same or higher grit rating than what’s already on the surface so that you don’t scratch it up too much.
Take into account your sander's power - Choose sanding belts that are compatible with your sander’s power capabilities and take into account any additional features such as speed control or variable pressure settings. If your sander is not powerful enough to handle coarse sanders, then it won't be able to achieve the desired finish even if you use an appropriate abrasive grade and grit size.
Consider your budget - A sanding belt can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on the quality and type of sandpaper you choose. To make sure you get the most bang for your buck, consider what features are most important for your sanding job and then compare products in that price range.
Buy quality sander belts - When it comes to sanders, buying high-quality products will help ensure that your sanding projects come out looking their best every time. Look for sanding belts with good reviews and try to buy from reputable dealers or manufacturers who guarantee the quality of their sanders.
