Balanced weave belt

Balanced weave belt, also called as wide spiral belts or wire link belts in different countries, consists of a series of alternating single or double left-hand and right-hand spirals connected by crimped or straight cross wire. Round or flattened spiral wire are used. With its unlimited choice of mesh selection, balanced spiral belting has a wide range of mesh size suiting for almost any application.

Left-hand and right-hand spiral give the spiral belt excellent tracking properties which can prevent the balanced belt from pulling to one side. Crimped cross rods holding the spiral coil in place reduces the ratio of lateral movement of the belt.

Mesh available:

• Standard balanced weave belt
  This wire belt consists of single alternating left and right-hand spiral coils connecting by a crimped cross wire.
• Double balanced weave belt
  It uses alternating double left-hand and right-hand spiral coils connected by a crimped cross rod. This kind mesh belt allows for carrying heavy-load small products at elevated temperature.
• Flat wire balanced weave belt
  Flat coil wire is frequently used for more stable carrying surface. Flat wire interconnects by straight or crimped cross rods.

• Double wire balanced weave belt
  Double coil wires interconnecting by crimped cross rods are available on request. It is designed for carrying heavier products.

Edge finish available:

• Welded edge - This is the most popular and economical edge finish. Both spiral coils and crimp cross wire are welded together without cut wire ends.
• Hook edge - This is less popular than the welded edge finish. It is an option in applications where welding facilities are not workable. This kind of edge finish is also smooth and flexible. Generally speaking, it is available for conveyor mesh with a relatively large cross wire pitch.
• Laddered edge - It is less common than the welded edge. It is also an option for the applications where welded edge finish is not possible. It is the better choice for high temperature applications. Similar to hook edge, it is also available for mesh with large cross wire pitch.
• Chain edge - The three edge finishes above can be driven by side chains using cross rods.
