    {
      "q": "Our belt keeps mistracking: replace or adjust?",
      "a": "Mistracking is usually a machine or loading issue, not the belt's fault. We check tensioning, alignment and product loading first; replacing a belt without that diagnosis tends to repeat the failure."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can you copy our existing plate belt?",
      "a": "Yes: from a sample, a drawing or an on-site measurement. We document the link, rod and edge design so the next replacement is a phone-free, drawing-based reorder."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can a metal belt run continuously at 900 °C?",
      "a": "Yes, with heat-resistant steels the constructions run to ~1100 °C continuous. What decides the design is the full picture: temperature profile along the oven, product load and the cooling zone. Send those three and we select belt type and alloy."
    },
    {
      "q": "What belt widths do you build?",
      "a": "100 mm to 3000 mm is the typical range, as plate belts, woven metal belts or spiral/rod constructions. Side guards, flights and sprockets are supplied with the belt so the whole system wears as one."
    },
    {
      "q": "What do you need to quote a replacement belt?",
      "a": "Machine type and drawing if you have them; otherwise the old belt tells the story: link pitch, rod diameter, width, edge design and a photo of the drive. No drawing at all? We measure on site and document the design so every next reorder is drawing-based."
