such as for climb up inclines, under heavy loads, for long distances, through quenching liquids, cooking oils, or other slippery conditions. They can provide efficient operation in applications where friction driven belts would not be desirable. Any mesh can be used in a chain driven construction, but the selection is made on the basis of what is needed to support the product. The Balanced Weave should be given first consideration, as it is economical and appropriate for most conditions.

 

A variation of the balanced weave, consisting of alternating left & right hand spirals compressed to create a very tight weave with a flat surface. Generally assembled with a straight connecting rod, but is available in limited specifications with a crimped connecting rod. Woven Wire Mesh BeltsIn food processing, these belts are used in washing, baking, dewatering, blanching, cooking, freezing , pasteurizing and depalleting. In glass and ceramics, this construction finds wide use in firing, decorating, enameling and annealing, and for curing fiberglass. In electronics, we find glass-to-metal sealing, thick film firing, and drying of printed circuit boards. In metalworking, the range is from general conveying to heat-treating, quenching, calcining, annealing and related processes.Matrial One of the factors that make metal mesh belt adaptable to so many applications is that it is available in many different materials. From sub-zero to 2200°F, whatever the corrosive conditions may be, metal mesh belts may be woven of virtually all wrought alloys that can be drawn into wire form.Selvages:The standard edging for frictionally driven metal mesh belts is the welded selvage. For applications or belt constructions where weld are not desirable, a knuckled selvage may be used. A variation of the knuckled selvage, which provides a smooth outer edge as well as strength, is the ladder selvage. Other selvages can be produced to suit application needs.
