Metal wire mesh conveyor belts are very versatile in conveying system. They are mostly used in cooking system because of their stability at elevated temperature. Especially in food industry, 300 series stainless steel is widely used for its sanitation, highly corrosive resistance and highest working temperature.
The frequent material for making wire belts are galvanized low carbon steel, high carbon steel, stainless steel. Their workable temperatures are list in the table below.
Please contact us if the wire mesh conveyor belts are going to be used at elevated temperature. Our technical sales will provide you professional advice.
