Wire mesh belts
Balanced Weave Belt
The most widely used process-industry belt: straight-running, high tensile strength and economical.
- Temperature
- Depends on alloy
- Used for
- Food processing, Glass and ceramic tile processing
Rod Reinforced Belt
Elongated spirals reinforced with straight cross rods for strength at high temperature with little stretch.
Rod Reinforced Belt – made to order by Roshan Industries.
High-temperature, low-stretch mesh belt
Rod reinforced belts are made from relatively elongated spirals woven together and reinforced by inserting a straight cross rod between them.
This construction withstands high tensile loads at elevated temperatures with very little elongation, lengthwise or widthwise — making it a strong choice for furnaces and heavy-duty heat processing.

Applications
- Furnace and heat-treatment conveyors
- Heavy-load process conveying
- Drying ovens
Industries: Heat Treatment & Industrial, Glass & Ceramic Tiles
Operation & maintenance
Belt life depends on correct installation and break-in, conveyor alignment and condition, load and load concentration, operating temperature and contaminants. Keep the conveyor aligned, avoid concentrated loads, and inspect edges and joints regularly.
Frequently asked questions
When should I use a rod reinforced belt instead of balanced weave?
Choose rod reinforced construction when the belt carries significant load at high temperature and you need minimal stretch over its working life.
Which types are available?
R-9 (heavy loads), R-10 (medium), R-11 (light) and R-12 (small loads), each in several wire combinations listed above.
