Honeycomb Conveyor Belt


Also known as Flat Wire belting

Honeycomb is an ideal choice for any application which requires both durability and an open belt design whilst maintaining a flat carrying surface. Its high strength-to-weight ratio also makes it an ideal choice for customers keen to improve their energy efficiency.

Honeycomb belting, also known throughout the industry as Flat Wire belting, is a straight-running belt with an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. It is available in a wide variety of aperture configurations to suit applications as diverse as casting, baking, drainage and packaging.

Honeycomb is constructed from formed flat wire strips connected by cross rods running through the width of the mesh. The rods are finished with either welded button edges or hooked edges.

It is a strong, lightweight, positively driven belt. A large open area makes this belt particularly suitable for processes such as washing, drying, cooling, cooking.

  • Open mesh construction for quick drainage and free air circulation
  • Flat carrying surface
  • Easily cleaned
  • Easily joined
  • Economical
  • High strength to weight ratio
  • Positive sprocket drive
