Pitch of up to 28 mm possible

Range expansion for rod network belts

Exciting news for our rod network belts: These are now also available with a pitch of up to 28 mm. We reveal the advantages of this here.

Whether cooling, drying, breading, packaging or heating: Our rod network belts cut an excellent figure in almost all branches of industry. In the food industry in particular, the constructions are valued for their hygienic, robust and permeable properties. In addition, the mesh belts are available in a wide variety of designs and materials, so that we can supply the right conveyor belt for every production step.

New: Even larger pitch

Our rod network belts are now available with a larger pitch of up to 28 mm for thick wire diameters from 2.35 mm. Previously, the largest possible pitch - i.e. the distance from wire centre to wire centre in the belt running direction - was 19.05 mm. This results in a maximum open area of 91.6 %.

This design is especially recommended when particularly open structures are required, for example when cooling baked goods or in the fish and meat industry or in textile drying.

Rod mesh belts: Infinite product variety

Märtens' rod network belts are available in three types of material - spring steel wire, stainless steel and stainless steel K2390 - as well as in various combinations of pitch and wire diameters. Spring steel wires range from 1.00 to 1.80 mm, while we offer wires made of stainless steel or K2390 up to a thickness of 2.80 mm.

Further advantages of our conveyor belts made of rod mesh are

  • Precise, maintenance-free belt tracking thanks to toothed drive rollers and grooved deflection rollers
  • small deflection radii thanks to the flexible belt design
  • free passage for liquid media, heat, cold or air thanks to the open mesh structure
