Overview
Wire mesh conveyors are designed to handle wrong-way bottom boards of pallets, items not conveyable on rollers, and other loads too heavy for a fabric belt. Wire mesh conveyors can be standard or custom made, for 24″ to 84″ wide loads up to 8,000 lbs and driven by fixed or variable speed drives, rated for food grade, or severe duty industrial grade. Some customers use wire mesh to allow hot objects to cool down in transit. Each metal belt has riveted galvanized steel mesh driven by steel sprockets on a common drive shaft. Wire mesh is also built with plastic belts for wash-down and light duty applications.
Description of Operation
Wire mesh belt conveyors can handle almost any evenly distributed load up to 2,000 lbs. However, care must be taken not to impact greatly when loading by fork truck.
- This unit is a transport conveyor connected in a line with other similar units
- Any suitable load is placed onto the infeed end of this transport line by fork truck
- Each load will convey onto the next connecting conveyor or machine
- If transferring onto another wire mesh, TA transition roller, or plate might be needed
- At the end, pallet loads transfer to another conveyor or are picked-up by fork lift
