Cordweave Conveyor Belt
Also known as 'Compound Balanced' belting
Our Cordweave belts offer an extremely close and flat mesh for applications where very small items are being conveyed. Cordweave also provides a uniform heat transfer across the belt due to its high density and smooth carrying surface. These characteristics make Cordweave a popular choice in a wide variety of applications, ranging from biscuit baking to sorting small mechanical components
Flat Spiral
Our Flat Spiral belting is often found in baking and washing applications where small apertures are required alongside a flat conveying surface. Flat Spiral is also a preferred choice for end-users who have previously experienced tracking problems with other spiral woven meshes, as the alternating coil pattern helps reduce any tendency for the belt to veer to one side.
