Stainless Steel Chain Link  Spiral Wire Conveyor Belt for Cooling Furnace

Description of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt

Conveyor belt composed of chain and support shaft, which is mainly used for large and heavy transmission (many dryer equipment transport light objects, and this type of connecting rod can also be used), and its operation is stable and powerful. The stress on the mesh surface is relatively small, which can play a protective role. The pitch and material of the chain, the size of the roller, the weight and material of the support shaft, as well as the diameter and length can be customized.

Specifications of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt

conveyor belts come in various materials including rubber, PVC, and polyurethane, which offer a variety of benefits such as high abrasion resistance, excellent flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. They are available in flat, chevron, or modular designs, with widths ranging from 100 mm to 2000 mm. The belts are capable of supporting heavy loads, with a load capacity ranging from 300 kg/m to 1200 kg/m, making them ideal for use in high-demand applications.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt

1. Exceptional Durability & Long Service Life

• Corrosion Resistance: Crafted from stainless steel grades (304, 316, 316L), the belts resist rust, chemical erosion (acids, alkalis, oils), and moisture. This makes them suitable for harsh environments like wet processing lines, chemical plants, or coastal industrial zones.
• High Tensile Strength: Withstand heavy loads, high tension, and repeated mechanical stress without deformation or breakage. Compared to rubber or plastic belts, they have a service life 3–5 times longer, reducing replacement frequency.
• Temperature Resistance: Operate stably in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +500°C (depending on the grade). Ideal for high-temperature applications (e.g., sintering, heat treatment) or low-temperature storage (e.g., frozen food conveying).

2. Hygienic & Easy to Clean (Critical for Food/Pharmaceutical Industries)

• Non-Porous Surface: Stainless steel’s smooth, non-porous structure prevents adhesion of dirt, bacteria, or food residues, complying with FDA, CE, and HACCP standards.
• Quick Sanitization: Compatible with high-pressure washing, steam cleaning, or chemical disinfection (e.g., in food processing plants), reducing downtime for cleaning and ensuring product safety.
• No Contamination Risk: Unlike rubber belts that may shed particles or absorb odors, stainless steel belts avoid cross-contamination of materials (essential for food, pharmaceuticals, or electronics manufacturing).

3. High Operational Efficiency & Versatility

• Smooth Conveying: Low friction coefficient ensures stable, quiet operation, minimizing product damage (e.g., fragile components, precision parts).
• Customizable Design: Available in various structures (mesh, flat wire, modular), widths (50mm–3000mm), and thicknesses. Can be tailored for incline/decline conveying, curved paths, or high-speed operations (up to 5m/s).
• Low Maintenance: Resistant to wear, tear, and UV radiation—requires minimal lubrication or repairs. Reduces maintenance labor costs and unplanned production downtime.

4. Cost-Effective in the Long Run

• Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Although the initial investment is higher than rubber/plastic belts, the long service life, reduced replacements, and low maintenance costs result in lower TCO over 5–10 years.
• Energy Efficiency: Lightweight yet strong design reduces power consumption of conveyor motors, cutting energy costs for large-scale continuous operations.
• Recyclability: Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, aligning with global sustainability goals and enhancing a company’s environmental credentials (a key factor for B2B buyers prioritizing ESG).

Applications of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt

• Food processing and baking / freezing lines

Stainless-steel belts are widely used in bakeries, meat and poultry plants, seafood, vegetable and fruit processing, confectionery factories, etc. They transport raw or processed food through steps such as washing, cooking, baking, freezing, cooling, drying, and packaging.

• Pharmaceuticals and chemical production

In pharmaceutical and chemical industries, stainless-steel conveyor belts are used to move powders, granules, tablets, chemicals, and other materials — especially where contamination must be avoided and strong chemical / corrosion resistance is required.

• Heavy-duty manufacturing, metal/heat-treatment and industrial processes

Stainless-steel belts are also used in metal processing, heat treatment, sintering, drying, cleaning, and painting lines. They are suitable for handling hot or heavy components, metal parts, and other materials under harsh conditions.
