Woven Rod Bar Conveyor Belts

Cut Edge: The belt is trimmed cleanly at the outermost warp cables. A cost-effective standard option for most conveyor configurations where edge loading is low to moderate.

Welded Edge (Reinforced): Weft wires are plasma-welded in groups of 2 or 3 at each edge, preventing wire migration and fraying during high-speed or heavy-load operation. Recommended for food processing lines and industrial dryers where edge integrity is a hygiene or maintenance requirement.

SS304 (Standard Grade): The most widely specified grade for food processing, agricultural drying, baking, and industrial conveying. Suitable for continuous operation up to 400 °C. Excellent corrosion resistance in non-chloride environments, compatible with standard food-grade sanitising agents and steam cleaning.

SS316 (Marine Grade): Contains added molybdenum for superior resistance to chloride-based cleaning agents and high-salt processing environments. Recommended for seafood processing and IQF freezing lines, dairy processing, and any application involving aggressive sanitisation chemical cycles.

SS316 is not immune to pitting from chloride-based or bleach cleaning. Confirm chemical compatibility, concentration, temperature and contact time, and rinse as specified by the cleaning chemical supplier.

Belt Width: Any width up to 3,500 mm.

Warp Configuration: 1, 2, 3, or 4 warp wire ropes; additional warp cables increase tensile strength for wider belts and heavier loads.

Weft Wire Diameter: 1.5–2.5 mm (affects surface profile and open area). Warp Cable Gap: 8.0–24.0 mm (determines mesh opening size and product support).

Edge Type: Cut edge or plasma-welded (reinforced) edge.

Material Grade: SS304 or SS316; heat-resistant alloy on request.

Joining Method: Pin-joint (open-end supply), endless seam, or staple fastener clipper.

Open Mesh Construction: High open area allows efficient through-circulation of hot air, cold air, steam, or process fluids — critical for achieving uniform drying, baking, dewatering, and IQF freezing results across the full product bed width.

Longitudinal Tensile Strength: Stranded warp cables distribute belt tension across multiple wire strands, reducing the risk of stress fractures under heavy loads or in long conveyor runs — a key structural advantage over single-wire longitudinal designs.

Metal Fatigue Resistance: The belt's flexibility in the running direction absorbs repeated bending stress over small-diameter drive drums, extending belt service life at high operating speeds.

Temperature and Corrosion Resistance: Available in SS304 (rated to 400 °C) and SS316 (chloride-resistant); withstands steam cleaning, CIP chemical systems, and standard food-grade sanitising agents.

Configurable Specification: Weft wire diameter, warp cable pitch, belt width, edge type, and warp count can all be matched to process parameters — from narrow single-lane dryers to wide-format industrial drying lines up to 3,500 mm.

HACCP-Compatible Hygiene: The open stainless wire structure contains no porous materials, coatings, or fabric components that can harbour bacteria or mould between production runs; the open mesh facilitates visual inspection and cleaning; stranded warp cables and joints require particular attention during cleaning.

Pin-Joint

This is the preferred joining method. The belt’s leading and trailing ends are designed with pre-formed loops, allowing a pin to be inserted through them. This system enables quick and easy assembly and disassembly directly on the machine.

Endless Seam

The belt is supplied as an endless loop, with warp cables interwoven to form a seamless join. This method is ideal for applications requiring consistent openings along the belt’s length. Since this joining requires the belt to be installed from the side, it necessitates a specially designed machine setup.

Staple Fastener Clipper

This joint uses staple fasteners, allowing quick and secure assembly of the belt. The clipper-style connection is durable and can withstand various applications, making it suitable for situations where the belt may need frequent assembly and disassembly.

Food Drying and Dewatering: Vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and seafood — the mesh supports gentle bulk product handling while allowing rapid moisture removal through the belt surface.

Pasta and Noodle Drying: Industry-standard belt for continuous pasta dryer lines. Smooth stainless weft wires prevent fresh pasta from sticking, while high open area enables precise through-air drying at controlled temperature and humidity.

Baking: Tunnel oven conveying for biscuits, bread, and snack products. Hot air circulates freely through and under the product for even bottom-heat and consistent baking results.

Fish and Seafood Freezing (IQF): The open mesh provides efficient cold-air circulation around each product piece in individual quick-freezing lines. SS316 grade provides the chloride resistance required in marine-environment processing plants.

Agricultural Drying: Green fodder, tobacco leaf, hops, and grain — suitable for large-scale bulk product drying where high throughput and consistent airflow across the belt width are critical.

Chemical and Industrial Processing: High-temperature drying and conveying of granular or pelletised materials in corrosive process environments, where robust corrosion-resistant steel and elevated temperature ratings are required.
