Chain Spiral Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts

 

Product Introduction

 

Chain Spiral Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts, also known as Chain Link Belts or Balanced Spiral Belts, are a versatile and durable conveying solution used across a multitude of industries. Their design consists of inter-woven spiral wires, often assembled with connecting rods and supported by precision chains on both sides. This construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, smooth operation, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures and heavy loads.

Material

 

The materials used in manufacturing these belts are chosen for durability, hygiene, and resistance to environmental factors. Common materials include:

Stainless Steel: The most popular choice, available in various grades:

SS304: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for food processing and general industrial use.

SS316 / 316L: Provides superior resistance to chemicals and chlorides, suitable for marine environments and pharmaceutical applications.

SS310 / 310S: Designed for high-temperature applications such as heat treatment and annealing furnaces.

Carbon Steel: Often galvanized or painted, this is a cost-effective option for general material handling where moisture and corrosion are not primary concerns.

Galvanized Iron Steel: Offers moderate corrosion resistance at a lower cost, often used in drying and cooling lines.

 

Specifications

 

Chain spiral belts are highly customizable. Key specifications include:

Wire Diameter

Ranges from 0.8 mm to 8.0 mm depending on the load requirements. Common diameters are 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm.

Spiral Pitch

The distance between spirals can vary from 2.4 mm to 100 mm, influencing the belts open area and product support.

Chain Pitch

Standard chain pitches ensure compatibility with drive sprockets: 25.4 mm (1 inch), 31.75 mm, 38.1 mm, 50.8 mm, 63.5 mm, and 76.2 mm.

Cross Rod Diameter

Typically ranges from 4 mm to 12 mm, providing the belts structural integrity.

Belt Width

Can be manufactured from as narrow as 100 mm (4 inches) up to 6,000 mm (6 meters) wide.

Temperature Range

Engineered to perform in extreme conditions, from -40°C in freezers to over 1300°C in high-temperature furnaces.

Features of Chain Spiral Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts

 

1. High Temperature Resistance: Withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to 1300°C, ideal for furnaces, freezers, and heat treatment processes.

2. High Load Capacity: Reinforced with precision side chains and heavy-duty rods, providing superior strength for transporting heavy products without stretching or deformation.

3. Excellent Airflow & Drainage: Open mesh design (up to 85% open area) allows maximum air circulation and instant liquid drainage, ensuring uniform heating, cooling, or drying.

4. Smooth & Flat Surface: Balanced weave construction creates a level plane, offering stable support for small, delicate, or irregularly shaped products.

5. Customizable Design: Fully adjustable in wire diameter, pitch, width, and edge type (knuckled or welded) to meet specific application requirements.

6. Easy to Clean & Hygienic: Non-porous stainless steel surfaces resist bacteria and corrosion. Open structure allows for thorough cleaning via washdown systems.

7. Positive Tracking: Chain-driven engagement ensures straight, stable running at high speeds, reducing wear and preventing misalignment.

8. Long Service Life: Manufactured from durable materials like SS304 and SS316, offering excellent resistance to fatigue, abrasion, and corrosion for extended operational life.

Product Display

 

Chain spiral belts feature different construction types to suit specific applications:

Standard Chain Link Belt

Features spirals running in one direction, interwoven for simple, lightweight conveying tasks.

Balanced Weave Belt

Composed of alternating left and right-hand spirals connected by straight or crimped rods. This design ensures a flat surface and straight tracking, making it ideal for high-speed applications.

Double Spiral Belt (Heavy Duty)

Utilizes two layers of spiral wire for significantly increased load capacity and durability in abrasive environments.

Edge Configurations

Belts can be finished with knuckled edges for simple connections or welded edges with a complete chain drive system for heavy-load applications.

Packaging

 

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during transit. Typical packaging methods include:

Wooden Cases / Plywood Boxes: The most common method for larger or heavier belts. The belt is carefully coiled or folded and secured inside a strong wooden crate to prevent shifting

Steel or Polywood Boxes: Used for very heavy or wide belts requiring maximum protection.

Rolls with Waterproof Paper: For smaller, narrower, or lighter belts, they may be wound onto cores and wrapped in waterproof paper and plastic film.

Pallets: Flat or stacked items can be strapped to wooden pallets and wrapped in protective sheeting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Q1: Can you produce belts according to my specific dimensions?

A: Yes, absolutely. Our belts are highly customizable. We can manufacture according to your drawings or specific requirements, including width, length, wire diameter, and pitch.

Q2: What is the typical lead time?

A: Lead times vary depending on the order. Samples or small orders typically take 3-7 days. Mass production orders usually require 1-3 weeks after confirmation of details and receipt of deposit.

Q3: How do I choose the right belt for a high-temperature environment?

A: The material grade is key. For temperatures up to 500°C, SS304 is often suitable. For higher temperatures up to 1150°C or more, we recommend SS310 or SS314 stainless steel. Please provide your maximum operating temperature.

Q4: What is the best way to clean and maintain these belts?

A: Regular cleaning depends on the application. High-pressure washdowns are effective for food-grade belts. For industrial belts, you should regularly remove debris to prevent clogging and inspect chains and rods for wear or elongation. Avoid over-tightening during installation.

Q5: Do you provide samples for testing?

A: Yes, we welcome sample orders to test quality and compatibility before mass production.

Q6: How do you ensure the belt runs straight without drifting?

A: Our balanced weave design ensures straight tracking. Additionally, proper installation is crucial: ensure sprockets are perfectly aligned and the belt is tensioned correctly (with about 1-2% elongation allowance). The precision of the chain pitch also contributes to stable operation.
