The
belts are most often used for diverse applications across
the entire span of industry. The various weaves of metal
mesh belts can be differentiated as:
Balanced
Weave
: These are the most commonly used belts in almost
all the process industries like food processing, glass,
ceramic, metal working industries etc. This type of
belt weave consist of a left hand and right hand spiral
linked together with a crimped cross rod. The stresses
on both the sides are evenly balanced resulting in
a smooth straight riding belt with minimum of expansion
along the lenth or width.
Conventional
Link Weave : The conventional link
weave consists of either left or right hand spiral
coils interlaced together to form a continuous belt.
These type of belt are generally used for drying of
light food articles etc., where high air circulation
is needed.
A
Closed Pitch Gratex Weave : The closed
gratex belt weave consists very close pitched left
and right hand spiral coils weaved together with straight
cross members. The closeness of the weaves results
in strong longer lasting belts even in high temperature.
Rod
Reinforced Weave : The Rod Reinforced
Belts consists of relatively elongated spiral woven
together and reinforced by inserting a straight cross
road between them. These belts can withstand high
tensile strength at elevated temperatures with very
little elongation length wise or width wise.
