A balanced weave belt replacement starts with the drive type, spiral pitch, crimped wire pitch, wire diameters and overall width measured on your old belt. Tell us about any balanced weave tracking problem on the line, so the belt and drive are reviewed together.
A metal belt woven from alternating left- and right-hand spirals joined by crimped connector wires. It runs straight and flat, and is used for baking, cooling, drying, heat treatment and freezing.
No. It is a separate belt type. A spiral freezer belt turns around a drum; a balanced weave belt runs straight, either driven by sprockets or by friction on a drum.
A sprocket-driven balanced weave belt uses hard wire so the mesh keeps its pitch on the sprocket teeth. A friction-driven belt uses soft wire up to about 2 m wide and semi-hard wire above that, so the mesh does not sag.
Spiral pitch and crimped wire pitch must match the sprocket tooth spacing — multi-row sprockets engage several spirals across the width. Your sprocket is measured or confirmed on the drawing, and the belt is run on a sprocket before shipment.
Round wire is the usual choice. Flat wire spirals give a flatter, larger contact surface where the product needs it; the wire size is confirmed on the drawing.
Whether the sections need a removable joining wire so they can be joined on site. Without it, short sections cannot be connected during installation.
Welded edges are fixed and smooth; clinched edges are bent back without welding. Matching your existing edge is the usual starting point.
SUS304, SUS316 or mild steel. Mild steel is lightly oiled against rust — not so much that oil marks the product or packaging.
Drive type (sprocket or friction), spiral pitch, crimped wire pitch, wire diameters, belt width and length, edge, material, application, number and length of sections, and sprocket details or photos of the old belt.
They depend on the belt and the project, and are confirmed in writing in the quotation.
