Balanced weave conveyor belt

1. Material Options

• Types: Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and copper.
• Temperature Resistance:
  • Carbon steel: Up to 1000°F (538°C).
  • Stainless steel: Up to 2050°F (1121°C).

2. Design Features

• Construction: Composed of left and right-hand spirals that are interlocked by crimped or straight wires, providing a stable and even surface for product conveyance.
• Mesh Structure: Regular mesh openings allow for good airflow and heat transfer, which is crucial for baking applications.
• Welded Edges: The edges of the belt are typically welded for enhanced durability.

3. Dimensions

• Maximum Width: Up to 216 inches (5486.4 mm) depending on the specific model.
• Weight: Varies based on mesh count and wire gauge.
• Allowable Tension: Also dependent on mesh count and wire gauge.

4. Performance Characteristics

• Conveying Surface: Full belt width with minimal openings to ensure product stability during transport.
• Drive Method: Friction-driven on flat-faced drums or terminal rolls; minimum drum diameter is calculated based on the second count or CB number.

5. Opening Size

• The maximum recommended opening size is up to 75% of the minimum product size being conveyed, ensuring that smaller items do not fall through the belt.

Applications

• Baking biscuits, cookies, and bread in high-temperature ovens.
• Conveying products in food processing environments where airflow and heat distribution are critical.
• General industrial applications where a strong, flexible conveyor system is required.

Summary

• Manufacturing process

  This type of metal balanced weave belt is the most common. It is made from flat spirals of left and right directions, connected by corrugated or straight rods. The edges are processed in two ways, depending on the operating conditions or technological needs: argon welding or creating a “U” bend.

• Design features

  The use of a corrugated rod allows the spiral turn to stay in place regardless of external impacts on the mesh. When using a straight rod, it becomes possible to use larger diameters of the rod itself, as its production does not involve corrugation, and to use spirals with a small pitch and large wire diameters.

• Applications

    The metal mesh belt is used in various industrial sectors, including: cooling products, handling tin, plastic, and glass containers, drying, transporting solid materials, canning and lime production, the woodworking industry, and more.
