Key Advantages

Open Conveying Surface: Spacing between rods permits continuous airflow and liquid drainage, optimizing drying, cooling, heating, and washing operations.

Controlled Product Support: Rod diameter and pitch are customized to match product dimensions, offering secure support while keeping open areas functional.

Adaptable Belt Construction: Dimensions, materials, edge styles, and drive mechanisms are fully customizable to fit unique system layouts.

Process Line Compatibility: Products remain stably supported while being exposed to continuous thermal treatment or cleaning media.

Application Industries

Glass Processing:

Transports glass products safely through high-temperature heating, cooling, and transfer sections with unrestricted airflow.

Heat Treatment:

Carries metal components through thermal processing zones where gases and process air must circulate freely.

Drying & Baking:

Allows heated air to reach products uniformly from multiple directions while providing easy paths for moisture release.

Washing & Cleaning:

Features open surfaces that let cleaning liquids flow straight through rather than pooling on the conveyor.

Coating & Finishing:

Supports items continuously during operations that require full exposure to process media.

Material Grade Options

Alloy Grade	Max Temperature	Primary Application
AISI 304	700°C	General corrosive resistance and standard thermal processing
AISI 316	700°C	Enhanced chemical resistance for wet washing lines
AISI 314 / 310S	1150°C	High-temperature annealing lehrs and severe thermal zones
Carbon Steel	350°C	Low-temperature ambient conveying and non-corrosive environments

Mesh & Loop Configurations

Single Loop Construction: Standard configuration offering high flexibility and balanced load distribution.

Double Loop Construction: Increased density and tensile strength for heavier unit loads and smaller transfer diameters.

Balanced Pitch Patterns: Customized spacing configurations to support specific product base dimensions without tipping.

Edge Finishing & Drive Mechanisms

Welded Edges: Transverse rod ends fuse to the outer flat wire for smooth guide-rail clearance.

Knuckled Edges: Curved end formation providing a safe, snag-free perimeter for manual handling and side-guard containment.

Chain-Driven Edges: Integrated roller chains attach to belt edges for heavy inclined pulls or precise indexing requirements.

Performance Characteristics

Load Capacity:

Governed by rod diameter, belt width, pitch, material selection, and overall frame support.

Tracking Stability:

Relies on accurate belt geometry, edge fabrication, and proper conveyor alignment.

Temperature Resistance:

Varies depending on alloy grade, structural build, and peak operational heat limits.

How to Select the Right Belt

Confirm Dimensions: Measure exact width and length requirements, preferably using the old belt as a physical baseline.

Determine Rod and Pitch: Select rod thickness and spacing to balance structural load and product support.

Match Openings:

Align mesh gaps with product weight, size, and ventilation needs.

Choose Materials:

Account for thermal limits, corrosion, and environmental cleaning agents.

Verify Drive Systems:

Ensure edge and drive mechanics match the existing setup seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for standard stainless steel grades?

A: AISI 304 handles up to 700°C, while high-temperature alloy variants support continuous operation up to 1150°C.

Q: How is belt elongation controlled during thermal cycles?

A: Utilizing precision-straightened rods and high-tensile alloy flat wire minimizes thermal stretch and maintains pitch integrity.

Q: Can the belt be retrofitted to existing drive sprockets?

A: Yes, manufacturing custom pitches and link dimensions to match existing sprocket tooth spacing is fully supported.

Q: What is the typical lead time for custom production orders?

A: Production schedules depend on alloy availability and total square footage, typically ranging from two to four weeks.
