Spiral Link Weave Metal Balance Conveyor Belts, often called Balanced Mesh Belts, are a widely used type of conveyor belt known for their simple yet effective design. They are recognized for straight-running performance, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and a wide range of mesh specifications to suit different applications

Basic Structure and Key Characteristics
The belt's structure consists of left-hand and right-hand spiral coils woven together and connected by crimped rods that run the width of the belt. This alternating spiral pattern provides several key characteristics:
Excellent Tracking: The alternating pattern prevents the belt from pulling to one side, promoting straight-line travel.
Strength and Flexibility: The interwoven spiral design offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility for various conveyor paths.
Multiple Drive Options: These belts are most commonly supplied as friction-driven. However, some meshes can be positively driven by sprockets that engage with the belt's mesh. For high-load applications, versions with chain edges are also available
These belts are versatile and found in many industries, including food processing, industrial manufacturing, glass and electronics production, and heat treatment processes
Common Applications
Food drying, washing, cleaning of mechanical parts
can handle heavier loads Heat treatment, annealing of parts, processing of leather and asbestos products
Improve tracking Electronics industry, glass industry, general manufacturing
Stability Cooling, drainage, heat treatment, annealing furnaces
Key Parameters and Selection Tips
When specifying a balanced weave conveyor belt, you will typically encounter a series of codes and numbers that describe its key parameters:
Example Model: B2.8/2.5-60-52W
B: Type prefix (Balanced)
2.8: Diameter (mm) of the spiral wire
2.5: Diameter (mm) of the connecting rod
60: Number of spiral coils per meter in the belt's width direction
52: Number of spiral coils per meter in the belt's length direction
W: Edge type (Welded)
For optimal performance, consider these factors during selection and use:
Material Selection: Belts are made from various materials, including carbon steel and different grades of stainless steel, to suit environments with moisture, heat, or corrosive chemicals.
Positive Drive for Heavy Belts: For tightly woven, heavy belts that require a lot of driving force, a positive drive system is more effective than friction drive. This system uses a drive roll with cavities that engage with protruding tangs on the belt for a non-slip grip.
Maintenance: Regularly adjust tensioning shafts to prevent the belt from running off track and maintain transmission components to ensure stable operation
