For many decades, wire link conveyor belts have been successfully used in the food industry, the steel

industry and the chemical industry. The reliability and durability of the belt are the main reason for its

success, combined with the various ranges of belt materials and the sophisticated design, which makes it

relatively simple to make variant types of belts. For example, the belt can easily provided with carriers,

flights, side plates or additional small rollers. Furthermore, the opening between the wire links can be

tailor made by de use of wire welded underneath (most common), springs, rings or bushes. In this way, the

drain of the belt varies from 10 to 90 per cent. Minimal drain openings of about 0,7 millimetres can be

realised by flattening the wire links. The space between the links is then smaller than the diameter of the

link itself. The diameter of the wire links can vary from 1.5 millimetres for very light or fine meshed belts to

4 millimetres for heavy duty applications.

OB wire link belts are available in widths of 50 to 7,000 millimetres and in nearly any desired length and

have 3 basic versions.

The type “A” is the version with lamellar or welded edges. 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.

The type “B” is the version with chain edges. 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

E.002

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.

The type “C” is the version with roller edges. The belt edges are formed by two rows of plate links with a

roller in between. The wire links, the plate links and the rollers are assembled on a cross rod fitted with a

welded ring.

Wire link belts can be used at conveyor speeds varying between less than 1 metre per minute and 50

metres per minute, depending on the processing situation and the intended working time. The strength of

the belt and, to some extent, its ability to resist wear, are determined by the number of plate links and, if

present, the chain on the edges. In the belt full plate links are mounted every 250 to 400 millimetres. The

belt support can be placed underneath these plate links. In some cases the belts can also be provided with

plate links in an eccentric version, which provides additional wear resistance.

Wire link belts are used in production processes having temperatures from 100ºC to +600ºC.

Wire link belts are made of thin round wires with an eyelet on both sides, to which they are hinged by

means of a pin. In this way, a thin one layer belt is created with the following advantages:

It is impossible for a product to form a deposit in ‘hollow spaces’ in the belt, which are difficult to reach.

The weight of the belt can be kept relatively low.

Process fluids and gasses can go easily through the belt

The belt is easy to clean.

The belt is positively driven by means of sprockets or driving drum. So there is no belt slip and it is possible

to use relatively small diameters. This all adds to a perfect belt run without steering problems.

The belt is easy to repair.

Wire Mesh Belts

Technical info

Wire Link Belts are composed from eye links put on cross rods and reinforced with reinforcement plates.

Most of the time placed in rows between the eye links(sections).

The fixation of the eye links in the width of the belt can be done on several ways.In the picture above we

can see that there a 6 different ways of fixation of the eye links. The choise of the fixation is depending of

the product and production process.The most common ways of fixation are the single and double weld

wires underneath (EO/DO) and the fixation of the eye links by them self (GE). The wires welded on top of

the wire links(BB) are used in sieving systems and as cams on slightly ascending transports.

Wire Mesh Belts

Type ”A” Wire Link Belt with welded or lamellar edges

The above drawing shows the schematic construction of the wire link belt with welded or lamellar

edges.The pitch of the wire links (p) shows the construction size of the belt. The preferred opening of the

belt is obtained by fitting the links at a certain distance from each other (pitch s). This pitch can be chosen

freely, depending on the design and the construction. There are in principal 6 possibilities to keep the wire

links at a distance as shown below. You will find the pitches and other sizes on the basic list page 2.3.

In connection with the tensile strength of the belt, one row or several rows of plate links are divided evenly

along the width of the belt. Both edges are usually provided with a double row of links. It is customary to fit

the belt support underneath these rows of links (size of the plate links: e,h,w , see page 2.3)

* The distance between the rows of plate links is about 200 to 450 millimetres (size y), depending on the

load of the belt.

** The tolerance of the width of the belt is 0 – d (diameter wire link)

*** Sizes e to h are the sizes of the links which are centrically but could also eccentrically fitted to the cross

rods for extra wear resistance underneath).

The drawing shows the construction of

a wire link belt with roller edges.

The construction of the type “C” is

similar to that of the type “A”. The belt

has the same basic sizes and distance

keepers to the same design. The

distinction between these two is the

roller between the two outer plate

links. The roller sizes are basically free

to choose.

Type “C”: Wire link belt with roller edges

The above drawing shows the

construction of a wire link belt with

chain edges. The basic construction

of the type “B” is similar to that of

the type “A”. The belt has the

same design of the distance

keepers. The distinction between

the two is that the outer rows of

the plate links are replaced by a

hollow pin chain. In this way the

pitch (p) of the belt is connected to

the chain pitch.

Type “B”: Wire Link Belt with chain edges

Wire link belts with chain and roller edges are used in particular when:

Reduction of friction is wanted

Extra guarantee for moving evenly is asked for

Constructions are used with negative bends

Hollow pin chains are available in roller chain design (as shown) and in bushing chain design, depending on

the type of pitch and chain. A great many varieties are possible. Frequently used types of chains are the

ASA and ANSI B.29.1 DIN and ISO conveyor chains. Possible pitches are ¾”, 1” , 1,5”, 2”, 50 mm, 3”, 75 mm

and 100 mm. Chains are available for example in stainless steel or steel (galvanised or nickel plated).

Wire Mesh Belts

Sprockets

Usually, the wire link belt driven by driving sprockets or by a driving

drum. If the belt is properly set up and is well maintained over the

years, the running qualities will not change. The conveyor frame, the

belt support and correctly set up driving and reversing shafts will

keep the belt in a straight line.

The dimensions of the driving sprockets depend on the preferred

number of teeth, the belt pitch and the shaft/bore specifications. The

wire link belt has three types of driving sprocket:

The side wheel with an opening in the teeth for the outer plate links

of the belt, the middle wheel with an opening in the middle of the

teeth for all the inner plate links, and a full wheel with teeth over the

whole width of the sprocket for use beside the plate links.

The hollow pin chains of the Type B and the roller edges of the Type

C are driven on both edges by a sprocket. These sprockets are tailor

made, depending on pitch, roller diameters, roller widths and

number of teeth.

Materials for full material driving wheels:

Nylon and Stainless Steel AISI 304, Cast Iron, Steel , Stainless Steel

AISI 316, several synthetic materials.

The sprockets are tailor made, depending on pitch, roller diameters,

roller widths and number of teeth. Pitch circle diameters as

mentioned above. The sprockets can be provided with a bore, a key

way (DIN 6885 A) and a threaded hole for a screw, all made to size.

Wire Mesh Belts

Driving/ returning drum

The wire link belt can basically be driven by many kinds ofdriving drum: a cage drum (frequently used), a drum withtoothed discs, tube drum, and a drum made of plasticsprockets.

A metal driving drum is recommended for use with large beltwidths, often combined with a larger diameter, as thisconstruction is more solid. Sometimes the production processitself requires a certain type of drum instead of a shaft withdriving wheels.

The cage drum consists of a shaft with a number of weldeddiscs.Parallel to the shaft, the carrier strips are welded on to thesediscs. The belt is driven, by these strips, across the wholewidth of the belt. This makes the cage drum very suitable fordriving belts with great distances between the links. The openconstruction of the roller makes it extremely suitable for usein freezers as it prevents ice forming. Furthermore, the cagedrum can be found in places where cleaning is highly valued.

The drum with toothed discs is made of a great many discswhose teeth pierce the belt. This drum is mainly used infreezing tunnels. At the end of the belt, the teeth of the discspush the frozen product off the belt.

The tube drum is a closed drum, used there were hollowspaces are not allowed.

Wire link belts with a roller edge or a chain edge have a drumwhich is fitted on both sides with a sprocket wheel with thesame number of teeth.

The drums are tailor made, depending on load, preferrednumber of teeth (free to choose), belt pitch, belt width andother shaft specifications.

Wire Mesh Belts

Belt support underneath the plate links (cross section) Belt support (longitudinal section)

Wire link belts are positively driven. Toothed driving wheels/drums prevent the belt from slipping.

Consequently, There is no need to have the belt set up with a certain tension. In normal use, a reverse shaft

adjustable in the belt’s running direction is enough to handle a possible elongation of the belt in the course

of time. The driving gear must be positioned in such a way that the loaded part, usually the upper part, is

pulled off the belt. A pushing driving gear must be avoided. Extreme differences in temperature demand a

little more attention. A permanent or temporary difference in temperature between the construction and

the belt, when the installation is started up, for example, can cause a temporary over stretching of the

belt. The construction must be able to cope with a belt elongation or a belt shortening. This can be done by

attaching the reverse shaft in a guided way and by putting a little pressure on the shaft by means of springs.

Another possibility for coping with a possible belt elongation is to create some space in the construction by

giving the return part of the belt enough space to subside.

Supporting the upper part usually is effected by wearing profiles attached lengthways underneath the belt.

Subject to the production process, synthetic materials such as PA, PE, HMPE, is advisable to fit the

supporting profiles underneath the plate links. The plate links are placed at distances of about 250 to 400

mm, depending on the belt’s load. Depending on the length and width of the belt, a clearance of 10 mm

between belt and frame is sufficient.

The return part can be supported by means of sliding profiles or bearing mounted rollers. As only the belt is

supported in this case, fewer sliding profiles are needed. Bearing mounted rollers can be fitted at intervals

of 1.5 to 2.5 metres. The belt may sag slightly between the rollers

In the construction, the creation belt obstruction points must be prevented. This means that the supporting

profiles of both the upper and the lower part must be bevelled off sufficiently at the inlet of the belt. In the

horizontal direction the belt should not be allowed to catch on sharp pieces or supports. It is therefore

advisable to make a guide rail or guiding shoes at several places, or to place the parts so far from the belt

that the belt cannot catch on anything. Make the path of the belt as simple as possible. Negative curves are

possible but, depending on the load and angle of curvature, will affect the life span of the belt.

E.013

Wire Mesh Belts

In order to have the belt running well and to contribute substantially to the belt’s life span, it is extremely

important that the frame with the sliding profiles is level and width wise horizontal, and that the driving

and reverse shafts are properly aligned in relation to the supporting frame. These shafts must be mounted

at right angles to the running direction of the belt and should be in the same horizontal plane as the

support. Both shafts must be assembled parallel to each other.

The grooves in the driving wheels and rollers have no function for guiding the belt. Force should not be

used to drive the belt nor to keep it in place by means of the side guides. Should the belt not run true, the

shafts must be adjusted again. It is important that the wheels on the driving and reverse shaft are

assembled in one line so that the teeth contact the wire. links properly. After the belt has been adjusted it

should be checked regularly for fluctuations.

Important: a wire link belt must be handled with care. This type of belt is sensitive to deformation due to

the sagging dead weight especial when putting the belt on its side. If this does occur, the belt must be

aligned before installation.

The belt can best be pulled in by means of the driving motor The rolled up belt is placed centrally in front of

the reversing shaft. The initial point of the belt is fixed to a cross slat by several links. A cable runs from the

cross slat to the driving shaft. The cable is twisted around this shaft a couple of times. The belt is pulled

over the upper guide by running the motor and pulling the cable tight. The cable can be removed when the

initial point of the belt has reached the driving shaft. The slat remains in place. The belt is put into the teeth

so that the wheels pull the upper part and the lower part is pushed. To avoid the return part being pushed

up, the end of the cable is re fixed to the cross slat while the other end is pulled by hand in such a way that

that the belt remains flat. It is often quicker to draw belts of a smaller size into the construction entirely by

hand.

Radius Belt

Radius belt with a link at both sides, and ifneeded equipped with reinforcing bars

Radius belt with a extra link in the middle to fit asmaller turning radius

The radius belt is a highly usable conveyor belt. The belt has been designed for a great many applications,constructions and process conditions. The belt is eminently suitable for cooling or freezing products such assnacks, bread, pastry, vegetables, potatoes, fish and meat, as well as for blanching vegetables or proofingdough. The belt is used in radius systems, spiral towers as well as in curved and straight conveyors.

The radius belt is constructed of cross rods with chain links on both sides and, in most cases, is providedwith balanced weaved spiral mesh for product support. The thickness of the spiral wire and the spiral pitchcan be chosen at will and allow the belt to give optimal product support. The belt can also be provided withreinforcing links, extra plate links for product conduction, or with flights.

The belt can be made in every width between 350 and 1,500 millimetres. Belts with widths smaller than350 mm, or greater than 1,500 millimetres and belts with unilateral spiral wire are made on demand.

The Standard radius belt has many different versions to optimise your choice and is available in:

2 different pitches: 19,05 mm (3/4”) and 27,4 mm (1”)With or without spirals3 different strengths: normal (2 mm) chain link type: RA NBheavy duty (3 mm) chain link type: RA VBheavy duty chain link with double reinforcing plate links type: RA –VPdifferent ratios between the belt width and the rotating radius: rotating radius = 1,7 x belt width or

rotating radius = 2,2 x belt width

The Full Decreased radius belt is a belt with links at the outside and a link in the middle and is available in.

1 different pitches: 19,05 mm (3/4”)with or without spirals1 strength: combined (2 and 3 mm) chain links type: RA FDratio between the belt width and the rotating radius: inner radius = 1,1 x belt

E.015

Wire Mesh Belts

By the middle bracket from the middle to set the inner radius can be adjusted within limits.

The exact dimensions of the chain links and cross rods of the radius belt combined with the computercontrolled welding robot and butting robot result in a belt with great dimensional stability and with stablestraight and curved radius characteristics under nearly all circumstances.

Two cold butted heads are fitted at either end of each cross rod. The absence of too much heat during thefabrication ensures that the cross rod stays straight and that the structure of the outer parts of the crossrods does not change. In this way, the cold butted heads always have the same dimensions and areextremely smooth. The welds which connect the chain links to the cross rods are welded with a minimumof heat and are very tough, due to the chosen welding process. All this results in a durable belt of excellentquality.

The radius belt can be used at transport speeds of less than 1 metre per minute to about 20 metres perminute, which are considered normal speeds. In case of radius belts, the speed is measured at the outsideof the belt. Speeds above 20 metres per minute are considered to be high speeds and can affect the life ofthe belt. The construction of the conveyor system and the process conditions are also importantconsiderations.

These belts are used in production processes with temperatures of 196ºC to +275ºC.They need minimal maintenance and can have a working life of many years, if used well. The belt isstandard made of stainless steel AISI 304 but can also be made of AISI 316.

Radius belts are used in, for example:

Spiral and straight cooling systems Special cryogenic freezing systemsSpiral proofing towers Drying installationsProduct lifting conveyors Baking systemsSpiral and straight freezing systems Pasteurising systems

Within certain limits, the rotating radius R can be adapted to specific requirements by positioning the chain

E.019

Wire Mesh Belts

Driving and support

A radius belt in a straight conveyor system is positively driven. Toothed sprockets prevent the belt from

slipping. Between the sprockets a plain roller every 150 200 mm is to be advised. Consequently, there is no

need to have the belt set up with a certain tension. In normal use, a reverse shaft adjustable

in the belt’s running direction is enough to handle a possible elongation of the belt in the course of time.

The driving gear must be positioned in such a way that the loaded part, usually the upper part, is pulled off

the belt. A pushing driving gear must be avoided. Supporting the upper part usually is effected by

wearing profiles attached lengthways underneath the belt. Subject to the production process, synthetic

materials such as PA, PE, HMPE, is advisable to fit the supporting profiles underneath the belt. The support

profiles are placed at distances of about 200 to 400 mm, depending on the belt’s load, belt

weight and production process.

A radius belt in a curve conveyor system has to be supported and driven the same as in straight conveyors,

with this difference that the belt with the link in the middle has the driving sprockets positioned in the

inside link and the middle link. The turning radius of the radius belt can be 1.1,

1.7 or 2.2 x the belt width. The infeed and outfeed lenght of the curve conveyor has to be straight and ca.

1,5 x belt width. To give the belt some clearance, it is to be advised to give the belt at the outside a space

of ca. 50 mm towards the frame work.

A radius belt in a spiral conveyor is the most common. A spiral conveyor is more or less a special curve

conveyor with a take up drive in the straight part and a driven inner drum driving the belt on friction. The

take up drive gives the belt a controlled (low) tension. Because he cylindrical drum drives the belt on

friction it will run a little faster as the belt. Because a spiral conveyor normally has a lot of running metres, a

special section has to be installed to effect elongation of the belt (due to different temperatures and

product load).

Wide Spiral Belt

1.Wide Spiral Belt with welded edges 2.Multiple woven Wide Spiral Belt with welded edges

Wide spiral conveyor belts have been successfully used in e.g. the food industry, the steel industry, the

chemical industry and the glass industry for many years. Its simple design, the big range of dimensions

(wire diameters and pitches) and the various ranges of belt materials are the main reason for its success.

The wide spiral conveyor belt is a balanced woven belt with left and right hand wound spirals, connected by

crimped cross wires. At the sides of the belt the cross wire is welded to the spiral wire.

The opening (‘drain’) of the wide spiral belt is determined by the pitch of the spirals and the pitch of the

cross rods. The range of these belts starts with a pitch of the spirals and pitch of the cross rods of 4 mm and

goes up to pitches of 50 mm. The wire diameters can be chosen from 0,8 mm up to 5 mm but are in a way

determined by the belt pitches too. Normally the belt has round wires, but can be executed with flattened

wire as well.

Wide spiral belts can be used in a temperature range of 50º up to +1100ºC, and can be delivered in every

length and belt width up to 4 metres or more.

For a very tight mesh the belt can be multiple woven or compound balanced. (fig.2) In this belt the spirals

are nested and one spiral has 3 or 4 or 5 cross rods instead of 2.

E.022

Wire Mesh Belts

Wide spiral belts can be executed with chains at both

sides,with hollow pin chains or with solid pin chains.

The connection between the chains and the belt is

mostly by means of extra cross rods going through the

(spiral of the) belt and trough the chains.

The spiral part of the belt will carry the product. The chains will drive and guide the spiral part. Driving this

belt is easy by means of chain sprockets.

Wide spiral belts normally have to be driven, tensioned and guided by means of plain rollers.

In many cases the position of the belt has to be controlled and one or more rollers are executed as dynamic

steering rollers. Belt speeds from 0,5 m/min up to 60 m/min are possible.

Driving the belt with sprockets is possible in case of light products on small conveyor belts and a

normal belt speed.

Wide spiral belts can on occasion be equipped with flights.

The belts can be easily made endless by placing a crimped cross wire between a left hand wound and a

right hand wound spiral and welding this crimped wire ends together with the spiral wire ends.

5 6,4 / 0,9 1,2: Adjusting the sprockets to the belt 5 6,4 / 0,9 1,2 : Sprockets in line by keyway

Normally the wide spiral belt is driven by a plain roller. For light conveyoring the 5 6,4/0,9 1,2 has the

possibility to be driven by little pin rollers. These rollers normally have a diameter of ca 50 mm outside and

fit exactly in the belt. The distance of the rollers on the shaft is recommended at approx. 100 mm.

The exact mounting distance on the shaft between the rollers will always be determined by the belt itself

because it fits tight but may not be forced. Not only for new belts in new machinery (mounting the first

time) but especially also for spare belts on existing pin rollers.

Although the tolerances in the belt are very small every belt is unique. In the length of the belt (pitch of 6,4

mm) the pin rollers have to be mounted ‘in line’ and the little number of teeth will handle with these

tolerances. In the width of the belt (pitch of 5 mm) the great number of windings (a belt of e.g. 1000 mm

has already 200 windings) it is necessary to adjust the pin rollers exactly to the belt by moving the rollers a

little to the left or right (see photo) on the shaft to fit (again) in to the (new) belt.

For wide or heavy loaded spiral belts who have to be positively driven it is recommended to use special side

chains. These side chains (in many sizes) give the belt a better control, more stability and a better life time.

These side chains can be driven by standard (DIN/ASA) sprockets.

E.027

Wire Mesh Belts

Spiral belts with Side Chains

The spiral part of the belt will carry the product. The chains will drive and guide the spiral part. Driving this

belt is easy by means of chain sprockets. No extra belt tensioning or steering rollers is necessary.

These belts are often used in freezing, cooling, frying or cooking machinery. Or in conveyors where the belt

is wide and the length is short. Because this belt has a chain, strong cross rods, side plates and flights are

easy to mount on. There are many possibilities in the execution of the chains and the meshes.

Often used are the 3/8”, ½’’, ¾”, 1”, 1¼”,1½’’ en 2” and 3” chains in the different ISO, ASA and DIN

standardization.

The next pages show some examples of spiral belts with side chains. The pictures give only a small selection

of possibilities.

The pictures at the end of this page give 2 special executions because of their function.

Ladder belt with chains, executed with spiral belting at

the side. Mostly this belt supports filtration paper.

Because the spiral belt is linked to the ladder belt, the

total belt can run in a V shape and the product which has

to be filtrated can not fall of the belt. At the infeed and at

the outfeed of the installation the end rollers will flatten

the belt.

Instead of a Ladder belt this kind of belting can be based

on a honey comb belt too.

This tight spiral belt is equipped with a 2” hollow pin

roller chain. It is often used in (bottle)washing

machines, filtrating the water and carrying paper or

broken glass out of the installation.

Wire Mesh Belts

Enrober Belt

These belts are used in many industries. They have a light weight single layer construction and arepositively driven by sprockets. The belts have an open structure (70 85 % open) and are frequently used incooling, baking, draying, heating, decorating, battering and packing machines for light products.

They are made of stainless steel wire of spring wire. Wire diameters varies from 0,9 until 2,8 mm. Pitchesfrom 4 mm until 19,05 mm, and belt widths from 10 mm until 3 metre. We have a big range of standarddimensions, but can make all the (non standard) dimensions too because of the multi adjustableproduction machinery. Belts executed with single loop (most common) or double looped edges for specialoccasions.

Belts features:they can be made for straight conveyors and for curve conveyors.they can be equipped with little cams, or with special formed internal wire to carry the product ona special way. The very small ‘chains’ are used in spreader conveyors.They are normally driven by toothed sprockets, made of (stainless) steel or plastic. These sprocketsare made to fit the belt and are adapted to the diameter you wish. The number of teeth is free tochoose and can be made for every new or existing conveyor.they are often used in conveyors for the food industry for the production of:

snacks fish pizzas vegetablesbread, pastry meat candy (small) potatoesbiscuits chocolate nuts and fruits

These belts are used on other industries to convey products like little parcels in packing andplasticization machinery.

Belt with single looped edges

E.030

Wire Mesh Belts

Belt with double looped edges

The belt is made from pre shaped wires with the same form, weaving together. The drawings as showedabove give the standard execution of a single looped edge belt (most common) and a drawing of the doublelooped edge (only small pitches, and wire diameter from 0,9 until 1,2 mm) belt for straight conveyors. Thebelt is determined by the pitch (P) de wire diameter (D), the number of the spaces and the dimensions ofthese spaces (E and F). The looped edge (G) is determined by the wire diameter. The width of the belt isfree to choose.The number of spaces is always odd, and is determined by the width of the belt. The strength of the belt isgiven by the number of spaces. The space length is limited and normally between the 35 and 90 mm. Thetable below shows the preferable pitches (P) with the possible wire diameters (D1 D5) and its averagebelt weights (M1 M5)

The bolt pitches and diameters are preferable. All the pitch dimensions in between the preferable pitchesare possible too.

Next table gives a view of the minimum and maximum sizes of the spaces (E,F), belt width (B) and thelooped edge(s) (G,H). The minimum and maximum sizes are determined by the wire diameter (D).

E.031

Wire Mesh Belts

Note 1: The dimensions E and F are almost always the same. It is possible to vary in different dimensions, orgive the belt a certain pattern, using smaller and bigger openings. Note 2: The Belt thickness is approx. 2,5x the wire diameter.

Because these belts are mainly used to convey little light products, the pitch of the belt mostly will bedetermined by the product size, necessary transfer rollers and process conditions.

Next table gives an impression of the allowable tensile and velocity. The strength is mainly determined bythe diameter of the wire and the number of spaces.

The life time also will be determined by the product, the process and the number and material of thesupport profiles.

Measuring:

The pitch (P) is very important. The wires have to fit exactlyinto the holes of the sprockets.

In case of replacement, the pitch has to be measured exactly.

Normally you measure 10 pitches in the length of the belt(from wire 1 until wire 11).

The measured dimension is only to be divided by 10 and givesa dimension in 10th of mm.

Give the belt a little (no deformation) pre tension whilemeasuring, and measure next to the knots, and not in the middleof a space, to get the most accurate dimension.

Materials:

Belts are made of first class material with a high tensile strength:

Stainless Steel Aisi 302, Werkstoff 1.4310. (normal corrosion resistant, normal purposes, food industry)

Stainless Steel Aisi 316, Werkstoff 1.4401 or Aisi 316 Ti, Werkstoff 1.4571 (extra corrosion resistant,especially in case of aggressive chemicals, acids or chloride)

Spring wire (Steel, high tensile strength, little wire diameters)

E.032

Wire Mesh Belts

Driving Components

Usually the belt is driven by one shaft of teethed sprockets. The other (reversing) shafts are plane or haveplane rollers. A properly set up support, (reversing) shafts and driving shafts will keep the belt in a straightline.

The dimensions of the driving sprockets depend on the preferred number of teeth, outside diameter and orshaft bore specifications. The sprockets are tailor made and have usually a width of 14 mm. Two drivingsprockets are mounted to drive the belt in every odd spacing.

The free space between the sprocket and the knots of the belt is to be advised for 5 mm.Sprockets are made from plastic (polyacetal, polyamide) or stainless steel.

It is possible to drive the belt too with sprockets filling an entire spacing.

Further more the drive shaft can be executed as a driving drum with the

same width as the belt.

For special needs, please contact us, to make a tailor made design.

The table at the left shows an example of diameters

and number of teeth.

The belt has a product side and a non product side.

The product side is flat. The knots are on the non

product side. The product side has a small

minimum turning radius (sprockets, take over

rollers, positive bending).

The turning radius of the non product side has a bigger turning radius (reverse or negative bending of the

belt) .The figure below gives three executions of take over rollers/shafts for positive bending of the enrober

belt.

Execution 4:Two times negative bending, one driving shaft, two mesh rollers

Execution 5: See execution 3, but with extra gravity tension roller.

Enrober Belts (Support)

The number of support of the enrober belt will be determined by on the process and the product load. Theposition is normally between the knots of the belt. In case of a big load, every spacing needs a support.

In case of normal and light product load every 2nd or 3rd spacing a support profile. For proper running it isadvised that at the support is always needed at the spaces at the left and right side.

Another possibility is to support the entire belt with a plastic sheet. The returning past can be supportedby rollers or by support profile. By the selection of support profiles, sprockets and rollers, be aware not totension the belt.

For processes up to 70 80 degrees C, it is common to use plastic support. For higher temperatures theenrober belts are normally supported by Stainless Steel. (e.g. baking ovens).

Honey Comb Belts

honey comb belt with welded edges honey comb belt with clinged edges

The honey comb belt is a well known traditional conveyor belt. The belt has been designed for a great manystraight applications, constructions and process conditions.

The belt is constructed of cross rods and a flat metal strip. At the sides of the belt the cross rods have awelded ring (welded edges). In a number of dimensions it is possible to give the sides of the belt a clingededge. There are a number of predefined belt executions with different pitches and material dimensions.The belt can also be provided with side plates or flights. The belt width is determined by the beltspecification and the number of odd spaces. The belt width can be chosen from ca. 50 mm until 3500 mm.

It is positively driven by sprockets, and can be used at conveyor speeds of less than 1 metre per minute toabout 25 metres per minute, which are considered normal speeds.Speeds above 25 metres per minute are considered to be high speeds and can affect the life of the belt. Theconstruction of the conveyor system and the process conditions are also important considerations.

These belts are used in production processes with temperatures of 30ºC up to +400ºC in food and otherindustries.

It needs minimal maintenance and will have a working life of many years, if used well. The belt is standardmade of steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel AISI 304 and AISI 316.

The belts are used in, for example:

Driving and support

The honey comb belt in a straight conveyor

system is positively driven. Toothed sprockets

prevent the belt from slipping. Sprockets can

be executed in steel, stainless steel and plastic.

The number of teeth (diameter) is free to

choose.

It is to be advised to mount the sprockets every

150 mm on the driving and returning shaft.

E.046

Wire Mesh Belts

Consequently, there is no need to have the belt set up with a certain tension. In normal use, a reverse shaft

adjustable in the belt’s running direction is enough to handle a possible elongation of the belt in the course

of time. In case of longer belts a special section has to be installed to effect elongation of the belt (due to

different temperatures and product load).

The driving gear must be positioned in such a way that the loaded part, usually the upper part, is pulled off

the belt. A pushing driving gear must be avoided. Supporting the upper part usually is effected by wearing

profiles attached lengthways or in fishbone execution underneath the belt.

Subject to the production process, synthetic materials such as PA, POM, HMPE, is advisable to support the

belt. The support profiles are placed at distances of about 150 to 300 mm, depending on the belt’s load,

belt weight and production process. The returning part of the belt

can be supported by rollers instead of strips.

Biscuit Baking Belt

This belt is a highly usable conveyor belt for the bakery industry. The belt has been designed especially forbaking biscuits directly on the belt in straight feed through ovens. Its name is based on the Z shape of theflattened spirals.

It is a stratified metal spiral belt with a light weight and a reduced thickness. Its design gives the belt lowheat inertia, high strength and a good air circulation through the belt. This woven and stratified belt gives asuper position of the wires and an open mesh. The edges are looped.

The belt is designed to be long lasting and require little maintenance.

It is made of specially selected Carbon Steel for a good and even baking result and are mostly used inproduction processes with temperatures of +200ºC to +275ºC. On request the belt can be made of stainlesssteel. It can be produced with widths up to ca. 1400 mm and in lengths up to ca. 300 meter.

These belts are used in biscuit ovens all over the world. They are available six types , which differ in wirethickness, mesh opening and weight.

Note:The dimensions above are subjected to production tolerances.Tooling Pitch (P) is the dimension of a single not flattened spiral and is therefore not to be measured

in the belt.The given dimensions are to be measured in a non tensioned belt.Beware that used belts can differ a little from the dimensions above becauseelongation of the belt can make the dimension B a little bigger and the dimension A a little lesser.oxidation of the wire and a residue of product and grease can make the wire diameter looks bigger.

E.048

Wire Mesh Belts

Oven construction

Z Belts are driven by plain cylindrical drums (diam. appr. 1 mtr). Toothed driving wheels/drums are notpossible. Consequently, therefore is the need to have the belt set up with a certain tension. In normal use,the reverse drum will be forced mechanical, hydraulically or pneumatically to give the belt its tension andprevent it of slipping and to handle the elongation of the belt. Elongation caused by a difference intemperature, product load or weariness. Because of the plain drums the belt has to be steered all the time.This has to be done by plain steering rollers just for and or after the driving drum. The position of the belt inthe oven has to be controlled all the time. Sometimes the driving drum itself is in use as a steering roller.The driving gear must be positioned in such a way that the loaded part, usually the upper part, is pulled offthe belt. A pushing driving gear must be avoided.

The upper part of the belt usually is supported by wearing profiles attached in a frame across the belt.An often used material for these profiles is cast iron. The return part can be supported by bearing mountedrollers. The belt will sag slightly between the rollers. In the oven belt obstruction points must be prevented.This means that the supporting be bevelled off sufficiently. In the horizontal direction the belt should notbe allowed to catch on sharp pieces or supports.In order to have the belt running well and to contributesubstantially to the belt’s life span, it is important that the frame with the sliding profiles is level and widthwise horizontal, and that the driving and reverse shafts are properly aligned in relation to the supportingframe. These shafts must be mounted at right angles to the running direction of the belt and should be inthe same horizontal plane as the support. Both shafts must be assembled parallel to each other.

Belt Installation

The belt can best be pulled in by means of the driving motor. The rolled up belt is placed centrally in frontof the driving shaft. The initial point of the belt is fixed to a cross slat by several links. A cable runs from thecross slat to the reversing shaft and back to the driving shaft. The cable is twisted around this driving shafta couple of times. The belt is pulled over the guide of the returning part (rollers) by running the motor andpulling the cable tight. At the end of the oven the cable and cross slat can be pulled over the reversingdrum and the belt can be pulled over the support of the upper part. The cable can be removed when theinitial point of the belt has reached the driving drum. The belt can be closed by twisting two connectingspirals/windings in the belt endings. The twisted spirals have to be flattened.

Maintenance

This belt needs minimal maintenance. Belt cleaning is most effective when raising the oven temperature upto ca. 350 degrees C. and than brushing the ‘product’ out of the belt with a rotating brush. In case of thecarbon steel belts do not use water or steam with or without detergents for cleaning. This will make thebelt rusty and the live time will be effected negatively. Beware that during production or cleaning, the beltnever runs direct into a flame. The high temperature of the flame gives the belt partly a much highertemperature and it will affect its quality.
