Steel strip and rod conveyor belt
Flat Wire Conveyor Belt
Flat wire belts are built from flat steel strips joined by cross rods. The result is a flat, smooth and very open belt with a high strength-to-weight ratio – stable enough for unstable products and open enough for free airflow and water drainage.
- Carbon steel or stainless
- 200–4000 mm wide
- Strip 3–8 mm thick
- Large open area
- Side guards & flights
Made to your width (200–4000 mm), pitch and strip size.
