摘要:
The invention relates to a conveyor belt to be used in a continuously operated conveyor-type thermal treatment, i.e. sintering, of a material bed. The conveyor belt is provided with perforations in order to allow the gases that are used for heating and possibly cooling the material bed to flow through the material bed and the conveyor belt. According to the invention, the conveyor belt is made of a perforated, at least one-part element (1, 11, 21) made of a metal piece and allowing the gases to flow through, said element being mechanically connected to the preceding and successive element (1, 11, 21) in the proceeding direction (5, 15, 28) of the conveyor belt by means of a junction made in the lateral direction of said conveyor belt, and the perforations (2, 13, 14, 26, 27) are arranged in zones alternating with perforation-free element pats.
