Ss Wire Mesh Conveyor Belt Flex Ladder Type For Chocolate Coating Line

Stainless Steel Conveyor Belts Flex Ladder Type for Chocolate Coating Line

Description of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt

Flexible stainless steel metal crafts ladder rod wire mesh industry conveyor belt is a simple and economic mesh belt; this mesh belt is made of SS wire; Big opening and light weight are the major features. So flex  rod network mesh conveyor belts are widely used in food industry, such as fryer, drainage, cooking, cool, coating and so on. For selvage options of metal rod networe mesh  conveyor belts, single edge and double edge are usual. Because it is driven by sprockets, so metal rod network mesh  conveyor belts belong to positive driven.

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

 big opening

 Strong, light weight

 Direct run, positive driven with sprockets

Easily cleaned and joined

 Long working life and short downtime

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).
