About Chain Link Conveyor Belt
The light belts of the wire mesh belt consist of belt segments linked with splicing rods. The individual elements consist of alternating right and left-hand round wire spirals in a flat oval or round form. The edges of the wire mesh belt are available in a welded or bent design.
Different from balanced weave belt consisting of alternating left-hand and right-hand spiral coils chain link conveyor belting is constructed by unidirectional coils. For a friction driven belt, the belt features alternating sections of left-hand then right-hand. To counteract the tracking issues caused by the unidirectional coil pattern, cross rods are inserted across the belts - one is right-hand woven and the other is right-hand woven.
Features of Chain Link Conveyor Belt
• Simple structure. It is made of several spiral coils. Suitable for light-duty use in drying and cooling applications
• Economical. Economic and lightweight solution for low load conveying applications. The simple structure make it economical than other types of conveyor belt.
• Functional. The stainless steel chain link conveyor belt is suitable for lifting, conveying lightweight products.
• Different edge. We can supply welded or knuckled edge for your choice.
• Baffles are available. Side and center baffles can be added to the conveyor belt. Baffles can prevent the products from falling down to the ground. It is also useful for sorting and conveying.
• Chain link drive. The chain link drive pattern can ensure the smooth and high efficient working.
Belt Types
Chain Link Belt Without Rod Reinforced
Chain Link Belt With Rod Reinforced
Rod reinforced chain link belt are more stronger than conventional chain link belt as a result of the cross rods through the interconnecting spiral wires. Not only does the rods add strength to the belt, but also make the belt stable during conveying.
Chain Duplex Link Belt With Rod Reinforced
Apart from the standard rod reinforced chain link belt, there is also duplex Link Belt With Rod Reinforced, which has double interwoven spiral wires. This duplex version chain belt has smaller open area and more strength. Compared with universal chain link belt, rod reinforced chain link belt has wider applications because of its relatively heavy load ability, open area and economical cost.
Edge Availability
chain link conveyor belt are available in different edge styles including welded, knuckled and chained. Other special edge finish is available on request.
Welded Edge
At the belt edges the coil wires are looped together and welded. This is the most common and economical edge finish. This type of edge finish allows for relatively smooth finish to the belt edge and is the most economic version of this belt style.
Knuckled Edge
The end of each coil wire is bent back into a ‘U’ shape and then interlock with the adjacent coil. The ‘U’ form is then closed securely to form a permanent link with the next coil. This formation also allows greater flexibility of the belt edges and minimises stress build up at these positions.
Chain Edge
Along with the mesh edge finishes these meshes can be driven by side chains using cross rods which are located through the mesh coils and then through chains at the edges of the mesh.
