Flat Flex Conveyor Belts also known as Rod Network Conveyor Belts, or Enrober conveyor belts, are distinguished by their unique construction and versatile applications. These belts are constructed from a series of looped wires that interlock with one another, creating a flexible and robust mesh. The simple structure makes it economical and lightweight. It can help to save costs and reduce downtime.

Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are widely used across various industries due to their lightweight, single-layer construction, and positive drive mechanism by sprockets. Made from stainless steel or spring wire, these Rod Network Conveyor Belts come in wire diameters ranging from 0.8 to 3.0 mm, with pitches from 4 mm to 2000 mm, and belt widths from 10 mm to 3 meters. Custom dimensions can also be accommodated to meet specific requirements.
Flat Flex Conveyor Belts feature an open structure, with 70% to 86% open area, making them ideal for applications such as cooling, baking, drying, heating, decorating, battering, and packing of light products. They are suitable for both straight and curved conveyor systems.
In addition to providing the right belts, we also offer matching sprockets and other components to ensure a complete and efficient conveyor system.
Rod Network Conveyor Belts advantages:
• The largest proportion of open-mesh area available up to 86%
• Easy to clean, clean-in-place design
• No-slip, positive drive
• Very low belt mass
• Smallest diameter end rolls and drive rolls
• Positive driven for accurate tracking
• Curved rod network belt to suit different machines
Methods of endlessly connecting rod network conveyor belts:
Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are normally driven by toothed sprockets, made of stainless steel or plastic. These sprockets are made to fit the belt and are adapted to the diameter you wish.

Edge Availability
Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are available in three edge Loop Types.
1.With a C-shaped Edge, reduce the ratio of catching and tangling by the belt edge.
2.With a Single Loop Edge, the most popular wire mesh belt edge finish. It is available for wire diameter 1.27 mm or above
3.With a Double Loop Edge, supplied for enrober belts.
Diverse combinations of pitch, wire diameter, mesh length and side finishing create a wide range of fit-for-purpose wire mesh conveyor belts.

The Flat Flex Conveyor Belts are frequently used
in installations whereby food products undergo a certain process. You could
thereby think of Garden / steaming / cooking / baking / frying / grilling but
also of draping with chocolate or sprinkling with pips and/or seeds. Flat Flex
Conveyor Belts are furthermore frequently used for take-over sets whereby
products move from one installation/transporter to the other.
Flat flex conveyor belts are used in the
food industry for the production of the following products: small dessert, fish
products, pizza, vegetables, bread, flour, cakes, meat, candy, potatoes,
biscuits, chocolate, nuts, and fruit.
