Applications for Wire Mesh Belts

Industrial Applications of Wire Mesh Conveyor Belts

In high-performance manufacturing and process lines where exposure to elevated or sub-ambient temperatures, heavy loads and harsh environments is routine, precision-engineered wire mesh belts provide a reliable material-handling solution.

These belts feature open-mesh stainless or high-alloy constructions that support airflow, drainage and thermal transfer while maintaining dimensional stability under continuous duty. They are designed for operations such as heat treatment, coating, washing, drying and cooling, where conventional solid-surface belts might fall short.

By selecting the appropriate wire diameter, mesh opening, material grade and edge configuration, decision-makers and engineers ensure optimal integration with drive systems and tooling while minimizing maintenance and wear.


Food Processing

A full line of sprocket-driven balanced-weave belting is available in carbon and stainless steel for use on transfer and cooling conveyors. Most sprockets are available in 304ss and U.H.M.W. Chain driven belts in carbon and stainless steel for frying and cooking are available with custom edges, cleats and attachments for sediment drag-out and oil filtering. We offer a full line of wear strips, attachments, cleats and maintenance items for metal belt lines.

Glass Industry

We manufacture a full line of Lehr belts made from 3% chrome alloy or stainless steel and available in round or flat wire designations. Available in widths up to 240”. We also manufacture a full line of belts used on recycle lines and palletizers.

Shot Blast

We provide custom metal belts woven from manganese wire for use in shot blast equipment. Meshes with openings up to 3” are available in wire diameters of .216” or .3125”. Most common sizes and specs are available from stock.

Heat Treating

Custom manufactured and designed chain-driven belting increases belt life in your quench and washer belts. Hardening belts available in 314ss and 35/19cb can be manufactured with custom side guards to reduce part lose. Draw belts are available in any alloy, with or without chain drive. Chain is available in pitches ranging from 11/2”– 12” pitch. Contact us for spare parts including rods, plates, cleats, bolts, chain and mesh to repair your metal belts.

Veneer Industry

Wire Mesh Belt has been a leader in the manufacture and supply of stainless-steel dryer belts for veneer dryers. Our dryer belts are used on all major OEM equipment brands including Grezebach-BSH (Babcock-BSH), Cremona, Fezer, Omeco and Raute.

We can supply dryer belts in any length. Widths up to 240” manufactured in galvanized, 304, 304L, 316ss and 316L with welded, wrapped and welded or looped edges. We offer full service installation and on-site repair of your belt edges. Download a brochure on our veneer screens and contact us today for your quote.

Sintering / Brazing

Our full line of high-temperature belts made from nickel-based alloys are able to handle temperatures to 2300° F in various atmospheres. We manufacture the full line of double-balanced, rod-reinforced, double rod-reinforced and balanced weaves used in these applications. All belts are available in round and flat wire and can be furnished with custom edges designed to contain your parts on the belt. Contact us for splicing pins available in any diameter and alloy for ease in removing stretch for your belts
