A stainless steel conveyor is a conveying system designed to handle raw and finished products at all stages - from processing through to packaging. we provide stainless steel conveyor systems in a selection of styles and sizes and are confident we can supply a suitable solution for your facilities. Though we can't speak for all manufacturers, our conveyor belts are fabricated in food-grade stainless steel, a material that can resist extreme temperatures and wear and tear.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Conveyor Belt
Preserves Food Flavor
When the belt comes into contact with food, the sulfur can be released and contaminate the food product, changing its flavor. Stainless steel does not outgas, making it an excellent choice for conveying food products that are sensitive to flavor changes.
Resistance to High Temperatures
In many food processing applications, conveyors need to be able to withstand extreme temperatures. For example, when meat is cooked, it needs to be transported quickly to the cooling area to prevent bacteria from growing.
If the conveyor is not heat-resistant, it can be subject to degradation, which can lead to contamination. Stainless steel conveyors can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for use in food processing facilities where cooked food is transported.
Resistance to Low Temperatures as Well
Of course, not all food needs to be cooked. Some foods, such as frozen fruits and vegetables, must be kept at low temperatures. If a conveyor is not resistant to low temperatures, it can break down, leading to costly repairs. If your facility specializes in frozen food, stainless steel conveyors are a good option, as they can withstand low temperatures without breaking down.
Easy to Clean and Sanitize
Another important consideration in the food industry is cleanliness. Conveyors in food processing plants must be easy to clean and sanitize to prevent the spread of bacteria and ensure food safety.
Stainless steel is the material of choice because it can withstand harsh cleaning agents and high temperatures. Due to the strict sanitation requirements in the industry, conveyors are often exposed to high-pressure water jets and steam. Other materials, such as rubber and plastic, can degrade over time when continually exposed to these and other cleaning agents.

Types of Wire Mesh Metal Conveyor Belt
The term wire mesh conveyor belt is an all-encompassing term that covers several types of weavings, patterns, structures, and configurations of wire mesh belts. The flexibility and construction of wire mesh conveyor belts makes them adaptable to a wide range of uses since their patterns can vary from tightly woven belts to ones that are loosely woven with each type of weave or pattern being used for a specific purpose or set of requirements.
Compound Balanced Conveyor Belts - Compound balanced conveyor belts have left and right-hand spirals that are compounded together to make a tightly woven flat conveying surface. The tight weave prevents materials from falling through the openings in the weave. As with many of the various types of mesh conveyor belts, compound balanced weave conveyor belts are produced with a wide variety of weaves with each type following a basic pattern or structure.
The manufacture of compound balanced conveyor belts involves a set of precision steps that ensure the quality of the belt and the structure of its weave. Flipping the sections of the belt during production enhances the structure of the belt and ensures that it will track properly. If a compound balanced conveyor belt is properly assembled, it should have variations in color between each of its sections, a factor that guarantees the quality of the weave and the belt.
Balanced Metal Weave Conveyor Belt - Balanced metal weave conveyor belts have right and left-hand spirals that are joined by a crimped connector for each spiral row. The edges of the belt are welded and are available in a limitless number of mesh choices, which are dependent on the application for which the belt will be used. Although balanced metal weave conveyor belts may seem similar to compound balanced weave conveyor belts, the weave of balanced metal weave conveyor belts is less dense, a factor that will allow small pieces to fall through the belt.
The choices of types of balanced metal weave conveyor belts includes the number of spirals per foot, the gauge of connector wires, spiral wire gauge, and second connectors per foot. To further meet the specific needs of an application, spiral pitch and various belt widths are available with pitches ranging from 12 up to 144 and widths of pitches ranging from 3 in up to 0.25 in. Gauges of wire for balanced metal weave conveyor belts range from 1 up to 144 with custom connectors and spirals available on demand.
Gratex Metal Conveyor Belt - Gratex metal conveyor belts have very closely wound spirals connected with a straight metal rod. They have a semi closed mesh, which makes them capable of transporting very small parts. 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. It is this factor that makes gratex metal conveyor belts capable of carrying smaller parts and heavier loads.
Chain Link Metal Conveyor Belt - Chain link metal conveyor belts have a simple design that features spiral coils interwoven to create a wire mesh that has knuckle or welded edges. The successive interwoven spiral wires have the appearance of a chain linked fence. The design of chain link metal conveyor belts makes them economical and ideal for lightweight conveying applications.
The three types of chain link metal conveyor belts are standard, reinforced, and double reinforced. Standard chain link conveyor belts have large open areas that allow for easy air flow for heating, cooling, and drying applications. Reinforced chain link metal conveyor belts are sturdier, have less open space, and are built for more rugged applications. Of the three types, double reinforced chain link metal conveyor belts have extremely small openings for superior strength and durability.

As with all our stainless steel conveyors, these comply with strict food industry hygiene guidelines and are easy to wipe down.
Series 304 and series 316 stainless steels are most commonly used for the manufacture of metal conveyor belts due to their corrosion resistance and their ability to endure variations in heat. Since many metal conveyor belts are used by the food industry, stainless steel is the ideal metal because of its impenetrable hygienic clean surface and exceptional durability.
Stainless steel conveyor belts come in several forms including flat wire open structure for drainage and air circulation. The many forms of stainless steel conveyor belts include mesh, chain rod, flat wire, and balanced weave. For certain special applications where a non-stick surface is necessary, stainless steel can be coated with Teflon or another form of coating. The workability of stainless steel makes it possible to weave it into any form or pattern including reinforced and knitted.

How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Metal Belt Conveyor
Things to consider before installing the conveyor
The surprising difference between the conventional conveyor belts and metal belts is the ratio between belt thickness and pulley diameter that you need to maintain. While the metal belts are usually made of stainless steel, pulleys are made from stainless steel, plastic or aluminum, depending on the design specifications. The majority of belt pulleys is i-beam, capped tube or round stock and can be designed with drive lug timing pockets, conventional timing teeth, relief channels or ball bearing timing teeth. In order for the metal belts to function well, it is important that you use the largest pulley diameter in relation to the thickness of the belt.
Avoid reverse bends in metal belts not unless it is badly needed since it can affect the lifespan of the belts. Minimize pulleys as much as possible in the conveyor system to reduce unnecessary stress on the belt.
Proper handling
Although metal belts are highly resistant to chemical corrosion, physical damage and temperature, proper handling during installation are required, especially for thinner metal belts. Improper handling might result to damage at the welded part and edges of the belt during installation and maintenance.
Tension
Another factor that may affect the lifespan of the belt is tension. The belt tension should be maintained as low as possible to extend belt lifespan and minimize wear on the system. One of the common reasons why the frame warps or fractures the belt is because of high tension.
Maintain cleanliness
The metal belt conveyor systems should be made with easy access on the other side of the system. Having easy access to the inner parts of the metal belt conveyor minimizes downtime during sanitization and maintenance. To avoid excessive damage to the belt, the exterior and interior diameter of the belt should be free of debris.
