Precision-woven wire mesh belts engineered for food processing, heat treatment, baking, drying, freezing and general industrial conveying. Available in stainless steel, carbon steel and specialist alloys — custom-woven to your exact width, pitch and edge specification.
Constructed from flat wire crimped into a series of alternating spirals. Excellent open area for airflow, drainage and heat transfer. The most popular mesh belt for food and heat treatment.
Left and right-hand spirals interlocked with straight cross rods. Creates a very smooth, stable flat surface ideal for small products, bakery and controlled-atmosphere freezing tunnels.
A heavier-duty version of the balanced spiral belt with alternating large and small spirals. Higher strength, finer mesh opening, and greater stability for heavier loads in heat treatment furnaces.
Every belt is manufactured from the correct wire alloy for your temperature, chemical and hygiene requirements.
Standard low-carbon steel wire. Most economical option for dry, non-corrosive environments at moderate temperatures. Typically painted or coated for added rust protection.
18/8 austenitic stainless steel. Excellent corrosion resistance, hygienic surface, and good high-temperature strength. The most widely used material for food processing and baking applications.
Molybdenum-enhanced grade with superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments. The preferred choice for pharmaceutical, seafood processing and saline cleaning applications.
High-nickel alloys (Inconel, 310SS, 330SS) for extreme-temperature applications. Used in glass annealing, ceramic firing, sintering furnaces and hardening lines above 900°C.
The correct mesh belt depends on five key parameters. Use this guide or contact us directly — our team will recommend the right belt for your application.
Determines the wire alloy. Below 400°C → carbon steel. 400–850°C → SS304/316. Above 850°C → heat resistant alloy (310SS, Inconel).
Small, light products → balanced spiral or flat wire. Heavy or large products → compound balanced for finer mesh openings.
Food, pharmaceutical or clean-room applications → SS316L with electropolished finish and smooth edge seam welds. Avoid carbon steel.
Higher open area = better air, water or heat transfer. Flat wire belts have the highest open area (50–65%). Balanced spiral is lower (30–45%).
Sprocket-driven (positive drive) belts need machined edge reinforcement. Friction-driven belts use a standard welded or folded edge. Specify belt width and conveyor frame width separately.
| Belt Type | Max Temp | Open Area | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat Wire | 950°C | 50–65% | Food, Heat Treatment |
| Balanced Spiral | 800°C | 30–45% | Bakery, Freezing |
| Compound Balanced | 1050°C | 25–38% | Furnace, Small Parts |

Flat wire belts available in carbon steel, SS304, SS316L and heat-resistant alloys. Custom pitch and wire diameter combinations available. All widths are maximum — any width below can be manufactured.
| Series | Wire Dia (mm) | Pitch (mm) | Open Area % | Max Width (mm) | Max Temp (°C) | Material | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BS-0.8 | 0.8 | 4.0 | 30% | 1500 | 700 | SS304 | Small parts, biscuits |
| BS-1.0 | 1.0 | 5.0 | 33% | 2000 | 750 | SS304/316 | Bakery, cooling |
| BS-1.2 | 1.2 | 6.0 | 36% | 2000 | 800 | SS304/316 | Freezing tunnels |
| BS-1.6 | 1.6 | 8.0 | 40% | 2500 | 800 | SS304/316/CS | General conveying |
| BS-2.0 | 2.0 | 10.0 | 44% | 2500 | 800 | SS304/316 | Medium duty |
Balanced spiral belts provide a very stable, smooth surface. Ideal for products that would fall through a flat wire belt. Rod diameter can be specified separately for heavier cross-rod variants.
| Series | Wire Dia (mm) | Rod Dia (mm) | Pitch (mm) | Open Area % | Max Temp (°C) | Material | Load Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CB-1.0/1.6 | 1.0 | 1.6 | 5.0 | 26% | 950 | SS304/310 | Light-Med |
| CB-1.2/2.0 | 1.2 | 2.0 | 6.0 | 28% | 1000 | SS304/310 | Medium |
| CB-1.6/2.5 | 1.6 | 2.5 | 8.0 | 30% | 1050 | SS310/330 | Medium-Heavy |

Compound balanced belts are preferred for continuous furnace operation where the belt must carry small machined parts or stampings without them falling through the mesh openings.
