Flexible Rod Conveyor Belt - Chain Link or U-shaped Link Types
Similar to the balanced weave conveyor belt, the flexible rod belts are also formed by the spiral wires and cross rod. The cross rod is fastened to the chain link or U-shape links to form a firm structure. Commonly the cross rod of flexible rod belts is thicker than the spiral wires.
The flexible rod belt has excellent conveying performance no matter on the straight or spiral conveying equipment, so it is popular in the food industries, including cooling, cooling or freezing products.
Types of flexible rod belts
The main structure of flexible rod belt is spiral wires, cross rods and links on each side. The links can be chain links or U-shape links for your choice.
