Balanced Weave Belt: 2040 mm Wide Mild Steel 18A Mesh for Demanding Conveying Lines

Our newly available balanced weave belt combines a generous 2040 mm working width with a 6000 mm overall length, giving production engineers a wide, continuous conveying surface that is equally suited to heat treatment furnaces, quenching lines and heavy-duty parts handling. The belt is constructed from mild steel grade 18A wire with a 1.6 mm wire diameter and 1.6 mm rod diameter, woven in a true balanced weave so that the mesh stays flat, tracks accurately and resists edge distortion under repeated thermal cycling.

Balanced weave construction is the workhorse architecture of the metal conveyor belt family. Alternating left-hand and right-hand spirals are joined by straight crimped rods, which distributes load across the full belt width instead of concentrating stress on individual strands. For a wide belt such as this 2040 mm version, that load sharing is essential: it limits sag between support rollers, keeps the surface open and uniform, and extends service life in continuous-operation plants.

Design Advantages of This Configuration

• Fine 4.3 mm spiral pitch: the tight spiral spacing keeps small components, fasteners and stamped parts from falling through the mesh, an important consideration on high-speed lines.
• 5 mm rod pitch: dense cross-rod support maintains dimensional stability across the full 2040 mm width, even when the belt is carrying uneven loads.
• Matched 1.6 mm wire and rod: equalising the wire and rod diameters produces a balanced crimp, reduces wear points and gives predictable stretch behaviour during the initial run-in period.
• Open mesh geometry: the open area encourages air, quench media and wash liquids to circulate freely through the belt, which shortens cycle times and improves temperature uniformity.
• Repairable mild steel construction: damaged sections can be cut out and spliced in the field with standard welding equipment, avoiding long downtime.

Typical Applications

• Heat treatment and tempering furnaces with wide belt openings
• Quenching, washing and degreasing lines
• Parts cooling and drying tunnels
• Metal stamping, forging and fastener handling
• General industrial conveying where a flat, open, wide mesh is required

Because the mesh is open and flat, the belt also works well as a transfer surface between processes, where parts must move without tipping or nesting. In furnace service, mild steel 18A is normally selected for operating temperatures that stay within the standard carbon steel range; for elevated or highly corrosive duties we recommend discussing an upgrade to heat-resistant alloy grades before ordering.

Customisation and Ordering

The 2040 mm x 6000 mm balanced weave belt shown here is a standard reference configuration, but the same weave can be produced to your exact specification. We can adjust overall width and length, wire and rod diameters, rod pitch and spiral pitch, add chain or selvedge reinforcement on the edges, fit cross flights or side plates, and supply the belt as an endless woven unit or with a prepared joining edge for on-site splicing. Stainless steel and heat-resistant alloy versions of the identical weave pattern are available on request.

To receive a precise quotation, please confirm the belt width and centre-to-centre length, the required surface load and operating temperature, the drive and support roller arrangement, and any edge treatment or accessory requirements. Our engineering team can review your drawing or a worn sample and recommend the most durable weave and material combination for the duty.
