precision flat wire belt track better because they are constructed with no gaps between the pickets.
· Improved tracking
· Better product stability
· Clinched edges
Our Flat Wire conveyor belts track better because of the patented precision flat wire belt design – they are made with no gaps between the pickets. There is no product tippage, vibration, sprocket jumping or adjustment shimmy. With the precision flat wire belt design, it’s impossible for parallelogramming to occur.
Unlike other Flat Wire metal belts, our standard-duty conveyor belts are made with 11-gauge rods, while our heavy-duty mesh belts are made with 6-gauge rods. They are available also in modified 1/2″ x 1/2″, true 1/2″ x 1/2″ and can duty styles. Mat picket style conveyor belts are available for certain applications that require it.
Clinched edges form a clean, smooth selvage which prevents the wire belt from necking down and hanging up on the side of the conveyor. Since the metal belt edge has not been metallurgically altered through the welding process, it is stronger and lasts longer.
Materials
precision flat wire belt is offered in a variety of materials including wear-resistant stainless steel (WRSS), which hardens with use. WRSS delivers superior strength and longevity - perfect for abrasive applications like rock traps, cement bagging lines, and in insulation plants or when product release from the conveyor belting is critical. Also available in high-carbon steel, galvanized, and T316 SS.

precision flat wire belt Sprockets
· Available in 4″, 6″, 8″ 10″, 12″ and 14″ diameter
· Our extensive line of flat wire sprockets are guaranteed to be keyed in line. Our knowledgeable customer experience team members will assist you in choosing the best product for your application.
Machined Steel–Lasts up to five times longer than cast; concentric; precision machined; cut from solid bar stock; flame-hardened and manually deburred; and because they’re keyed on the centerline of the tooth, they’re always matched. Taper lock designs offer easy installation and alignment.
Cast Iron– Our economy line of sprockets.
Self Cleaning Machined Steel– Prevents buildup of product; cleans itself with each revolution; long lasting, and available in stainless and other alloys. We guarantee our precision machined steel and self cleaning sprockets will outperform and outlast your current cast sprockets by 2 times their life, or we will refund the difference in price.
VSHT Investment Cast–Corrosion resistant, harder surface, greater concentricity. Produced in T-316SS.
UHMW Polyethylene–Corrosion resistant, FDA approved. The maximum suggested temperature is 180°F.
