Product Introduction: Metal Spiral Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts

 

Product Overview

 

Metal Spiral Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts, also known as chain link conveyor belts or balanced weave belts, are a versatile conveying solution made by interweaving alternating left and right-hand spiral wires, which are then connected by straight or crimped cross rods. This design creates a durable, open-mesh surface that is ideal for applications requiring air, liquid, or heat circulation. The belts are known for their smooth operation, high tensile strength, and minimal tendency to track to one side, making them suitable for both light-duty and heavy-load applications. Their flexible structure allows them to be easily installed and maintained while providing excellent performance in high-temperature or corrosive environments.

Material

 

Our spiral wire mesh conveyor belts are manufactured from high-grade metals to ensure longevity, strength, and resistance to extreme conditions:

Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316, SS314): The most common choice, offering excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. SS316/314 is recommended for food processing and high-temperature environments.

Galvanized Iron/Steel: A cost-effective option for applications where corrosion resistance is less critical.

Carbon Steel: Suitable for general industrial use where high strength is required.

Copper & Brass: Available for specialized decorative or functional applications.

Tin/Zinc Plated Steel: Provides basic protection against rust for light-duty applications.

Finishes: Polished, Heat-Resistant Coating, or Mill Finish.

 

Specifications

 

The belts are highly customizable to fit specific industrial requirements and conveyor system designs.

Typical Applications

 

Food Processing: Baking ovens (cookies, bread, pizza), freezing tunnels (meat, fish, vegetables), frying lines, and drying units.

Heat Treatment: Annealing, hardening, sintering, brazing, and tempering furnaces for metal parts.

Glass Industry: Annealing lehrs (for bottles and flat glass) and decorating kilns.

Industrial Processing: Cleaning machines, washing lines, and powder coating lines.

Electronics: Handling small components during soldering or drying processes.

Packaging & Transportation

 

 

Proper packaging is essential to prevent damage to the belt's links and ensure it arrives ready for installation.

Inner Packaging: The belt is either rolled onto sturdy cores (for smaller widths) or coiled/flattened carefully to prevent kinking. It is wrapped in protective plastic film or craft paper to guard against moisture and dust.

Outer Packaging: For international shipping, the belts are secured in plywood cases, wooden crates, or metal boxes. This protects the mesh from impact and crushing during transit. For smaller belts, reinforced cardboard boxes may be used.

Securing: The belt is fastened with straps or bands to prevent shifting inside the crate. Padding or foam is used to prevent friction damage against the crate walls.

Labeling: Each package is clearly labeled with the product name, specifications (width, length, material), order number, and handling instructions (e.g., "Keep Dry," "Handle with Care," "Do Not Roll" if applicable).

Transportation: Suitable for all modes - Sea Freight (FCL/LCL), Air Freight, and Land/Courier services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Q1: How do I choose the right belt for my oven or freezer?

A: Selection depends on your product size, temperature, and load. For light products with high airflow needs, a standard balanced weave is ideal. For heavy loads or small parts, a compound balanced weave (with tighter mesh) is recommended. Please provide your product dimensions, temperature range, and conveyor width so we can recommend the optimal wire diameter and pitch.

Q2: How is the belt joined to make it endless?

A: Belts can be made endless using several methods: crimped cross rods (where the rod ends are bent to hold the spirals), welded cross rods, or by using special connecting pins/linkages. The choice depends on the belt strength required and the installation environment.

Q3: What is the maximum temperature these belts can withstand?

A: This depends on the material grade. Standard SS304 belts can typically handle up to 600°C (1112°F). For higher temperatures (up to 1150°C), we recommend SS314 or specialized heat-resistant alloys.

Q4: How do I clean the conveyor belt?

A: Stainless steel belts are easy to clean. For food applications, standard wash-down procedures with water and mild detergents are suitable. The open mesh design allows for easy drainage and cleaning in place (CIP) systems.

Q5: What is the MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)?

A: While sample orders are welcome for testing, the standard production MOQ is typically 10 square meters. However, we can accommodate smaller custom orders depending on material stock.

Q6: Can the belt be driven by sprockets instead of friction?

A: Yes. We offer belts with chain edges. In this design, side chains are attached to the mesh, allowing the belt to be driven by sprockets. This provides positive tracking and is ideal for heavy loads or long conveyors.

Q7: What edge types are available?

A: We offer three main edge types: Knuckled (Bent) - the standard, cost-effective edge; Welded - where cross rods are welded to the spirals for extra strength; and Chain Edge - for sprocket-driven systems.
