Standard Flexible Rod Belts
Flexible Rod Spiral and Turn Curve Belts for Multilayer Spiral Freezers
Flexible rod conveyor belts, also known as Spiral Metal Belts, Stainless Steel Spiral Freezer Conveyor Belting, Spiral Cooling Tower Conveyor Belt. In the context of multi-tier spiral conveyors in the food industry, flexible rod belts play a crucial role.
Flexible rod conveyor belts are constructed using a combination of alternating spirals, smooth cross rods, and special chain links with button heads. The specific design of flexible rod conveyor belts allows them to be used in both straight and curved sections of conveyor systems.
The versatility of Flexible Rod Belts makes them suitable for various processes in the food industry, including cooking, cooling, freezing, baking, pasteurizing, blanching, proofing dough, drying, and more.

Belt Mesh Overlay Type
Balanced Weave Mesh
Provides a flat and stable surface. Offers good flexibility and can handle a variety of product shapes and sizes. Well-suited for applications where a smooth and even surface is important.
Unilateral Weave Mesh
Can be designed for increased strength in a specific direction. Suitable for applications where directional strength or specific performance characteristics are crucial.
Links Availability
Spiral Metal Belt with Standard links
The most commonly used, stable, reliable and durable links.
Spiral Metal Belt with Guard Edge Links
Side guards are attached to the edges of the belt to create a containment area that prevents products from falling off the sides during transport. The height and design of the side guards can vary based on the specific requirements of the application.
Spiral Metal Belt with Edge Drive Links
The positive edge drive and cageless design minimize the risk of catastrophic failures, such as belt flipping or misalignment. This enhances the reliability and stability of the conveyor system during operation.
Edge Availability
Spiral Metal Belt with Welded Button Edge
Sturdy and durable, it can meet most application scenarios and is extremely cost-effective.
Spiral Metal Belt with 360° Welded Edge
In contrast to a conventional bridge weld, the 360° buttonless weld is devoid of surface imperfections and crevices. This enhances hygienic properties by eliminating the potential for bacteria entrapment. Additionally, it offers a greater product load capacity and reduces wear on the caps of spiral system cage bars.
Flexible Rod Conveyor Belts offer several advantages in various industrial applications due to their unique design and features. Here are some key advantages:
