Honeycomb Belt
Honeycomb belting, also known throughout the industry as Flat Wire belting, is a straight-running belt with an e
xtremely high strength-to-weight ratio. It is available in a wide variety of aperture configurations to suit applications as diverse as casting, baking, drainage and packaging.Honeycomb is constructed from formed flat wire strips connected by cross rods running through the width of the mesh. The rods are finished with either welded button edges or hooked edges.
It is a strong, lightweight, positively driven belt. A large open area makes this belt particularly suitable for processes such as washing, drying, cooling, cooking.
•Open mesh construction for quick drainage and free air circulation
•Flat carrying surface
•Easily cleaned
•Easily joined
•Economical
•High strength to weight ratio
•Positive sprocket drive
