wire mesh belt:In food processing, these belts are used in washing, baking, dewatering, blanching, cooking, freezing , pasteurizing and depalleting. In glass and ceramics, this construction finds wide use in firing, decorating, enameling and annealing, and for curing fiberglass. In electronics, we find glass-to-metal sealing, thick film firing, and drying of printed circuit boards. In metalworking, the range is from general conveying to heat-treating, quenching, calcining, annealing and related processes.Matrial One of the factors that make metal mesh belt adaptable to so many applications is that it is available in many different materials. From sub-zero to 2200°F, whatever the corrosive conditions may be, metal mesh belts may be woven of virtually all wrought alloys that can be drawn into wire form.Selvages:The standard edging for frictionally driven metal mesh belts is the welded selvage. For applications or belt constructions where weld are not desirable, a knuckled selvage may be used. A variation of the knuckled selvage, which provides a smooth outer edge as well as strength, is the ladder selvage. Other selvages can be produced to suit application needs.
