Balance weave
Double balance Weave
Compound Blance Weave
A variation of the balanced weave, consisting of alternating left & right hand spirals compressed to create a very tight weave with a flat surface. Generally assembled with a straight connecting rod, but is available in limited specifications with a crimped connecting rod.
CB3-30-72-14
CB = compound balance
3 = 3 cross rods per spiral
30 = 30 loops per foot width per spiral
72 = 72 spirals per foot length
14 = 14 gauge wire (.080” dia.)
Common mesh used for small fasteners, catalyst and baking bands. Also used as furnace curtains. Available in any material e food processing and baking industries.
Woven Wire Mesh Belts
In food processing, these belts are used in washing, baking, dewatering, blanching, cooking, freezing , pasteurizing and depalleting. In glass and ceramics, this construction finds wide use in firing, decorating, enameling and annealing, and for curing fiberglass. In electronics, we find glass-to-metal sealing, thick film firing, and drying of printed circuit boards. In metalworking, the range is from general conveying to heat-treating, quenching, calcining, annealing and related processes.
Matrial
One of the factors that make metal mesh belt adaptable to so many applications is that it is available in many different materials. From sub-zero to 2200°F, whatever the corrosive conditions may be, metal mesh belts may be woven of virtually all wrought alloys that can be drawn into wire form.
Selvages:
The standard edging for frictionally driven metal mesh belts is the welded selvage. For applications or belt constructions where weld are not desirable, a knuckled selvage may be used. A variation of the knuckled selvage, which provides a smooth outer edge as well as strength, is the ladder selvage. Other selvages can be produced to suit application needs.

Belts for elevated temperature
Cambridge elevated temperature conveyor belts are truly special members of the metal belt family. Grueling application environments put these belts to the maximum test. These applications require the utmost in product design engineering of each weave in order to give you the most operational benefits and extended belt life.
Lehr Belts
Cambridge lehr belts have long been the choice of original equipment manufacturers. And, lehr operators have made Cambridge the choice for replacement belts. Their records show better performance for Cambridge belts. Performance is the proof of Cambridge's superior design and construction. |
