Overview
Eye link belts are engineered for the toughest, most abrasive duty cycles, where a lighter belt would simply not survive. Each belt is built to order, with an almost unlimited range of pitches, wire diameters, gaps, edges and drive methods, so the construction can be matched precisely to your process. It is this combination of rugged reliability and configurable design — rather than any single feature — that keeps eye link belts running in service for years.
Depending on the line, eye link belts can be driven three ways: by friction against cage rollers, by positive-drive sprockets engaging the belt across its full width, or — for the tightest tracking control — by an optional chain edge. Side guard plates and cross flights can be added on request; side guards are sized to contain the height of the product being carried.
Features of eye link conveyor belts
• Single level surface products parts will not get
entrapped between several layers of the belt
• Flat conveying surface, open mesh configuration,
and ease of cleaning
• Completely customizable with features including
side guards, chain drive, and flights
• High-temperature capability and a wide variety of
steel specifications available
• Smooth and single-level surface without product
entrapment
• Toughest conveyor belt available
• Excellent air and fluid drainage
• High strength and excellent carrying ability
• Flat surface profile
• Modular design
Belt Types
The base eye link belt is a straight-running modular design with no spacers and no cross wires welded underneath. With nothing bridging the underside, product and fluids pass straight through — useful wherever the process needs maximum drainage and no cross-support beneath the load. This spacer-free build is also quick and inexpensive to repair, since individual links can be replaced without dismantling the belt.
Eye link conveyor belts — Available in six types that have their own specific advantages.
From eye link belts with pressed eye links to create the smallest opening possible to eyelink belts with springs to guarantee good shock resistance and resistance to lateral forces — PFM Screen has many types of eyelink belts that each have their own specific advantages.
Full eye links
In a full eye link belt the links sit directly against one another, so the gap between them is no wider than the wire itself — the tightest opening of any spacer-free version. With no spacers or under-welded cross wires, the belt drains freely and needs no support beneath the load. The flat surface, open mesh and simple construction make it easy to clean, easy to repair link-by-link, and a common pick for food processing lines.
Pressed eye links
Some applications require the smallest opening possible. By flattening the eyes of the eye links the opening between the links becomes smaller. This type is very appropriate for small and fine-structured products.
Welded eye links
The eye links are welded on to an location wire, so that a module is created. Very narrow and very wide openings can be created, depending on the processing of the products concerned. Because the module rides on a single under-welded wire instead of loose spacers, springs, rings or sleeves, there are no hidden pockets where bacteria can collect. The result is a belt that is faster to clean and easier to keep sanitary — the reason this style is preferred where hygiene is critical.
Pressed and welded eye links
Some applications require a stable belt in combination with a small opening/drain. The accuracy of our welding process allows us to produce modules with very small intervals between the eye links. The modular structure makes the assembly of very broad belts possible.
Eye links with springs
Springs help create a more dimensionally stable belt in heating or freezing applications. These belts are more dimensionally stable because the wires are able to move on the cross rod. Springs also expose a large proportion of the connecting rod for improved cleaning and sanitizing. The placement of springs between the eye links ensures that they are positioned at regular intervals. The result is a relatively light belt with specific qualities, such as a good shock resistance and resistance to lateral forces.
Eye links with bushings or washers
This versatile variation of eye link belt uses
bushings or washers between the wires to increase the belt gap. By increasing
the belt gap, more air will circulate around the bottom of the product.
Increasing the product exposure to this additional air flow improves the
efficiency of your process. When bushings or washers are added the belts become
heavier and more rigid.
Edge Availability
Eye Link Belt with Welded edge
At both sides the belt is fitted with plate links, and the far ends of the cross rods are fitted with washers and subsequently welded. This results in a thorough finishing of the belt in combination with the desired bearing surface.
Eye Link Belt with Reinforcing Plates
Reinforcing plates are the typical edge style. These are solid metal plates added before the connecting rod is welded. The belt edges are generally formed by two ore more rows of plate links. The wire links and plate links are assembled on the cross rod which is fitted on both sides with a welded ring or a butted head. Additional reinforcing plates can be added at the edge of the belt, or at specified increments across the belt width to further enhance the strength of this belt.
Eye Link Belt with Chain Edge
The belt edges are formed by a hollow pin chain. The links and chains are assembled on the cross rod which is fitted on both sides with a welded ring. The chain is mostly kept in place by welding a ring to the outside as well as to the inside of the chain. If the ends of the cross rods are narrowed, the inside of the chain is secured by this narrowing and the inner ring is cancelled. Chain edges on Eye link belts as an alternative method for driving the belt for enhanced tracking and reliability.
Eye Link Belt with side Guards
Eye Link belts can be equipped with side guards to prevent product from falling off the side of the belt. Height and shape of the side guards can be customized for your product or application. These side guards can also be inserted at various points across the belt width providing a positive separation between rows of product.
