Gratex Belt | Gratex Wire Mesh Conveyor Belt
Gratex Belts are used with conveyors handling small parts and heavy loads, especially for Sintering and Brazing. It is similar to balanced belting but its spirals are more closely wound with straight rod connector that produces a stronger semi-closed mesh. Stronger semi closed is ideal for carrying small parts and heavy loads.
Gratex Wire Mesh Conveyor Belt
Gratex Conveyor Belt are most widely used metal conveyor belts constructed with alternating left- and righthand spirals joined by the crimped roads. These Belts are used in Treatment Machinery, Chemical Machinery, Continuous Baking Machinery, Glass Machinery, Freezing, Food machinery and other Conveyors
Features of Gratex Wire Mesh Belt
- Surface us flat and unstable items can be carry.
- Excellent Strength- to-weight ratio. The allowable belt tension is capable for heavy load
- Belt can be used at high temperature.
- Heaving fine mesh, belt can be used for transportation of small products.
Application of Honeycomb Belt
All Products
Gratex metal conveyor belts are a compromise between compound metal conveyor belts and balanced metal conveyor belts in that they are woven like balanced conveyor belts but not as loose and more like compound balanced conveyor belts. The metal rod connector of gratex metal conveyor belts provides stronger connection between the weaves of the mesh, which produces the semi closed structure.
Gratex Belt advantages
Material: Commonly made of stainless steel such as SUS304, SUS316, SUS310S, and SUS314. These materials offer good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and strength, suitable for various industrial environments.
Belt Thickness: Varies depending on the specific application requirements. For example, there could be thicknesses like 6 mm or 9 mm. Thicker belts generally have higher strength and load-bearing capacity.
Wire Diameter: The diameter of the wire used in the belt construction is an important parameter. Different applications may require different wire diameters to ensure the belt’s performance and durability.
Spiral Configuration: It is constructed with alternating left and right hand spirals. The number of spirals per foot is a parameter that affects the mesh structure and strength of the belt. For instance, there could be 18 or 24 spirals per foot.
Rod Diameter: The diameter of the straight connector rods that join the spirals is also a crucial parameter. These rods provide additional strength and stability to the belt, and their diameter affects the overall construction and performance.
Mesh Size: The size of the mesh formed by the wire and spiral configuration determines what size of items can be transported on the belt. Fine mesh belts are suitable for transporting small items, while larger mesh sizes may be used for bigger or bulkier materials.
