• Manufactoring proccess
• The manufacturing process includes precise weaving and meticulous assembly to ensure a uniform surface for perfect glaze distribution, using stainless steel wire.
• Advantages of Using Flat Flex Wire Mesh Conveyor Belt
• A key feature of the glazing mesh is its unique surface, which minimizes contact with the product, thereby reducing the risk of damage or sticking. This is especially important for delicate or soft products.
• The surface of the flat flex belt is designed in such a way that products can be easily separated after glazing and drying, ensuring convenience in further processing and packaging.
• The materials and construction of the glazing belt ensure ease of care and cleaning, which is critical for maintaining high hygiene standards in the food industry. This allows the mesh to remain in excellent condition for an extended period, ensuring safe and sanitary conditions for food processing.
