Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts Flat Flex Conveyor Belts / Enrober Conveyor Belts For Food Industry

1.  Flat Flex Conveyor Belt Enrober Conveyor Belt Overview 

Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are also known as Enrober conveyor belts. The flat flex conveyor belt is constructed by several loop wires and then be formed a different edge. The simple structure makes it economical and lightweight. It can help to save costs and reduce downtime. Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are used in many industries. The belts have a lightweight single-layer construction and are positively driven by sprockets. Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are made of stainless steel wire of spring wire. Wire diameters vary from 0.8 to 3.0 mm. Pitches from 4 mm until 2000 mm, and belt widths from 10 mm until 3 meters, also we can make all the (non-standard) dimensions too. The Flat Flex Conveyor Belts have an open structure (70 – 86 % open) and are frequently used in cooling, baking, drying, heating, decorating, battering and packing machines for light products. The Flat Flex Conveyor Belts can be made for straight conveyors and for curve conveyors.

1) Belt Types

Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are normally driven by toothed sprockets, made of stainless steel or plastic. These sprockets are made to fit the belt and are adapted to the diameter you wish.

2) Edge Availability

Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are available in three edge Loop Types.
1.With a C-shaped Edge, reduce the ratio of catching and tangling by the belt edge.
2.With a Single Loop Edge, the most popular wire mesh belt edge finish. It is available for wire diameter 1.27 mm or above
3.With a Double Loop Edge, supplied for enrober belts.
Diverse combinations of pitch, wire diameter, mesh length and side finishing create a wide range of fit-for-purpose wire mesh conveyor belts.

3) Material Availability

Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are available in a wide variety of materials, the standard is 304 stainless steel. Other materials available include: 316 stainless steel, various carbon steel, and high temperature performance materials

♦ High open structure - high proportion of open area up to 86% makes the belt efficient in cooling, drying, heating applications.

♦ Positive drive without slipping - Rod network belts are normally driven by sprockets positively without need for complicated tracking mechanisms.

♦ Stable conveying - With smallest diameter end rolls and drive rolls, the rod network belts provide stable conveying of delicate products.

♦ A wide range of sizes - Various sizes with different openness to suit different applications providing superb strength and min contact surface between the products and the belts. Generally, the more the joints cross the width, the stronger the belt.

♦ Lower belt mass - low belt mass than balanced weave belts for lower power consumption, faster processing and more product throughput.

♦ Cost saving - The high open structure without hidden crevices makes the belt easy to clean and maintain which result in considerable cost saving.

4. Flat Flex Conveyor Belt Enrober Conveyor Belt Applications

The Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are frequently used in installations whereby food products undergo a certain process. You could thereby think of Garden / steaming / cooking / baking / frying / grilling but also of draping with chocolate or sprinkling with pips and/or seeds. Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are furthermore frequently used for take-over sets whereby products move from one installation/transporter to the other.

Flat flex conveyor belts are used in the food industry for the production of the following products: small dessert, fish products, pizza, vegetables, bread, flour, cakes, meat, candy, potatoes, biscuits, chocolate, nuts, and fruit.
