Biscuit oven belts & bake oven bands
Z-47 articulated wire oven bands for continuous biscuit, cookie and cracker baking ovens — manufactured in Ambernath, India, since 1974.
The oven band is the most important belt in a biscuit plant: it decides how evenly your biscuits bake, how straight the line runs and how much fuel the oven burns. Roshan Industries has made biscuit oven belts since 1974 and is best known for the Z-47 articulated wire band used by biscuit manufacturers across India and abroad.
Buyers search for it under many names — biscuit oven band, bake oven band, baking oven belt, oven wire band, wire mesh oven belt, Z47 belt. They all describe the same job: an endless, flat, open metal belt that carries dough through a tunnel oven.

What makes a good biscuit oven band
Flat baking surface
After articulation the band is laminated (flattened) under a press, so every biscuit sits on an even, flat surface.
Open for hot air
The open weave lets hot air circulate freely around the product for uniform baking of biscuits, cookies and crackers.
Single-piece length
Joints and welds create tracking problems. We supply the band in one piece wherever the oven length allows.
Light, yet long-lasting
A heavier band absorbs more heat every pass and raises fuel cost. We choose wire and gauge to balance belt life against energy use.
Flexible, with strong edges
The edges are strengthened while the band keeps its full longitudinal flexibility around the drums.
Made to your oven
Width, length, wire gauge, material and edge are made to your oven's specification and inspected before dispatch.
Belts for the rest of your biscuit line
After the oven, biscuits are cooled, coated and handled on other belts. We make those too.

Biscuit oven belt FAQ
What is a biscuit oven belt?
It is the endless metal belt that carries dough pieces through a continuous tunnel baking oven. In biscuit plants it is usually a Z-47 articulated wire band — also called a bake oven band, baking oven belt, wire oven band or Z47 belt.
Which belt is used in a biscuit baking oven?
Most biscuit manufacturers use a Z-47 articulated wire band for baking. Its coils are articulated into one another and pressed flat, giving a flat, open surface so hot air reaches the biscuits from below. Balanced weave and laminated eye-link belts are used for other baking, drying and handling duties — tell us your oven and product and we will recommend the right belt.
What temperature can your oven band take?
Our standard Z-47 band in 18 SWG mild steel wire is rated up to 600 °C. Wire gauge and material are selected for your oven temperature and product load.
Which wire gauges do you make?
17 gauge (1.40 mm), 18 gauge (1.20 mm) and 20 gauge (0.90 mm), in mild steel or stainless steel. Other materials can be made to your requirement.
Why does band weight matter?
A heavy band lasts long but absorbs more energy on every pass through the oven, raising fuel cost — electricity, oil or gas. We balance belt life against weight for your oven.
Why should an oven band be in one piece?
Joints and welds in an oven band can cause tracking problems. As ovens get longer, the band should be supplied in one single piece wherever possible.
Do you supply oven builders and export?
Yes. Our belts have been supplied to oven and machine builders in India and to biscuit manufacturers in India, Sri Lanka and Dubai. Email export@roshanind.com for export enquiries.
What details do you need for a quotation?
Belt width and length, oven temperature, the product you bake, preferred material and wire gauge, and edge type. A photo of your current band or the oven drawing helps — attach it to the form below.
