Belt Types
Standard Balanced Weave Belts
Standard Balanced Weave Belts are a specialized type of conveyor belt consisting of a series of left and right-hand wire mesh spirals. These spirals are interconnected by connecting rods or crimped rods.
Double Balanced Weave Belts
Double Balanced Weave belts are characterized by a series of left and right-hand wire mesh spirals, with two interwoven left-hand spirals and two interwoven right-hand spirals.
Balanced Weave Belt with Flattened Wire
This conveyor belt features a balanced spiral design with flattened wire, creating a smoother and flatter surface. The flattened wire minimizes initial stretching, providing stability for conveying materials with irregular shapes.
Edge Availability
Balanced Weave Belt with Welded Edge
The most common and cost-effective edge finish. Welding both the coil and crimp wires eliminates cut wire ends.
Balanced Weave Belt with Laddered Edge
Less common than the welded edge, suitable where welds are not preferred or welding facilities are unavailable. Provides a smooth belt edge with increased flexibility. Particularly efficient in high-temperature applications, as the laddered edge is not under operational strain, reducing the risk of fracture. Generally available for meshes with a relatively large crimp wire pitch.
Balanced Weave Belt with Hook Edge
Less common than the welded edge, suitable where welds are not preferred or welding facilities are unavailable. Provides a smooth belt edge with increased flexibility. Generally available for meshes with a relatively large crimp wire pitch.
Balanced Weave Belt with Knuckled & Welded
The spirals in this belt are strengthened through the incorporation of straight or "U" cross-rod connectors inserted through their vertices. This construction results in exceptional tensile strength, minimal thermal retention, full loading capacities, and negligible stretch, even at extremely high operating temperatures. Often used in heat treatment and annealing industries.
Balanced Weave Belt with Chain Link Edge
In addition to the mentioned mesh edge finishes, these meshes can be driven by side chains using cross rods. Cross rods are located through the mesh coils and then through chains at the edges of the mesh. Chain Edge Balanced Weave Conveyor Belts excel in a wide range of conveying applications, leveraging the advantages of positive drive to enhance operational efficiency. The unique design of these belts simplifies conveyor belt tracking and alignment, streamlining the overall operation.
Methods of Drive
Friction Driven Balanced Weave Belt
The predominant form of drive in conveyor systems is the plain steel parallel roller system. This system relies on the frictional contact between the belt and roller to facilitate belt drive. Variations of this drive type involve the application of lagging materials to the roller, such as rubber or friction brake lining. Incorporating these friction lagging materials enables a reduction in the operational drive tension within the belt, thereby extending the useful life of the belt.
Positive Drive Balanced Weave Belt
Positive Mesh Drive with Specially Manufactured Sprockets. Utilizing specially manufactured sprockets designed to engage with the mesh of the belt ensures a positive drive with minimal belt tension, reducing the risk of belt "Track Off." This innovative approach enhances the reliability and stability of the conveyor system. It's important to note that this range of belts is exclusively offered in the standard "Balanced Spiral" format.
Chain Edge Drive Balanced Weave Belt
Chain edge drive balanced weave belt is also called chain driven conveyor belt. In this configuration of the belt assembly, the cross pitch of the belt mesh is precisely manufactured to ensure that the chain edge serves as the driving medium. The design allows the belt mesh to be pulled through the circuit by the chains, creating a reliable and efficient conveyor system. This approach optimizes the functionality of the chain edge, emphasizing its role in propelling the belt mesh through the operational circuit.
