Conveyor belts

Conveyor belts. Details and dimensions: A. Spirals wire diameter; B. Spirals pitch; C. Rods wire diameter; D. Distance between rods

Conveyor belts consist basically of joined wires forming an endless belt, which is used for the continuous transfer of products. Wire belts are available in many different materials for numerous productions and process applications with wide range of temperatures ranges from freezing to heat treatment.

Belts are built with flat wire spirals across the belt's width and connected with either straight or crimped cross bars. The crossbar edges are either welded or linked.
