Platelink Conveyors

Plate link conveyors are normally used in arduous applications to move bulk items like waste material, swarf and scrap metal. The belt is constructed from heavy duty steel links connected by steel rods. This makes the belt strong but flexible. The links are fixed to conveyor chains either side that run in steel guides on over sprockets at each end. The length of the conveyor and width of the plate link belt is variable depending on the product being carried. The conveyor can be level or inclined to feed material in to hoppers or skips.

Mesh Belt

Mesh conveyors are used in many industries to move products through process equipment or production lines. Steel mesh belts are made from strips of steel assembled onto rods, and can be mild, galvanised or stainless steel. The length and width of the belt is made to suit the product and application. The belt runs on a steel chevron flat bed with drive sprockets at one end and a tension drum and sprockets at the other. The mesh belt and chevron bed are particularly suited to spraying or drying application as the open design allows air to pass through easily.

PTFE woven mesh belts are available for lighter products and can still be used in high temperature applications.
