About PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belt
Our open mesh belts are used in screen printing to transport imprinted materials through drying ovens and cooling chambers. These belts are long lasting and perform well over a wide range of operating temperatures.
We offer below different types of belt Splice:
- Overlap splice: Belts end are cut straight or angularly at different angle overlapped to 25 mm to 100 mm and heat sealed. It gives a very strong joint. Strength of joint is more than the basic fabric strength. This joint makes the belt endless.
- Butt Splice: Both ends of the belts are cut straight or at different angles and butted together and the piece of PTFE/ Glass fabric of same or greater thickness is fused at the underside of the belt to get a smoother surface on top. Sometimes a piece of thin fabric is fused on the top side to protect the joint. This makes the belt endless.
- Two Ply Belt Splice: Two layer of PTFE/Glass cloth are laminated with staggered joint to achieve uniform thickness of the belt all over the belt length, to make a strong and endless belt.
- Smart Loop (Bullnose): A Leno woven fabric with braided thin Kevlar rope in fill direction which forms the loop, is used as a splice. This is stitched on both ends of leno woven mesh belt and a mono peak pin is used to complete the joint. This splice offers maximum airflow & flexibility at jointed portion. This makes the belt open ended.
- Metallic Alligator Splice: This is a strong metallic splice where metallic alligator is fixed on both ends of the belt & connected by a metallic pin to complete the joint. This makes the belt open ended. Open end belts are required where it is difficult to dismantle the machine & install the belt.
- Finger Splice: In this splice, small fingers are cut by a template at both ends of the belt and fixed in the alternative grooves and a piece of PTFE Coated Fiberglass Fabric is heat sealed on the top & bottom side of the joint to make it endless. It is an improvised butt joint which provides flexibility to run belt even at the smaller diameter of rollers of machine.
- Castellated Seal Splice (Fabric Pin Splice): Small dimension of fabric, heat sealed on both edges of the belt is cut alternatively to make hinges like fixing. A non- metallic pin is inserted to complete the joint. This belt is used where use of metal is undesirable.
- Edge Reinforcement: Both edges of the belt need protection from tearing while running and coming in contact with metallic components. Skived PTFE Film or PTFE coated Fiberglass cloth is fused on both edges or stitched by 100% PTFE Thread.
Belt Tracking System:
- Guide Button: Made of SS or Brass or PTFE studs are fixed on one side or both side of the belt at a fixed pitch and center distance width wise which run in the groove of the drive and driver roller to control the belt running straight on the machine. This is suitable for smaller width & shorter length belt.
- Braided Kevlar Profile: This is stitched at one edge of the belt which runs in the groove of the roller for keeping the belt in straight course.

Minimal Maintenance and Easy CleaningThe PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belt boasts a smooth, non-stick surface that resists residue buildup. This reduces maintenance frequency and minimizes downtime, offering easy cleaning and a long service life, which is especially beneficial in high-throughput operations.
FAQ's of PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belt:
Q: How does the PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belt handle high temperatures?
A: Constructed with premium PTFE materials, the belt maintains its structure and performance even at continuous temperatures up to 260C, making it suitable for processes like drying, curing, and heat treatment.
Q: What edge reinforcements are available, and how do they benefit the belt?
A: Edge reinforcements are offered in PTFE coated fabric or Kevlar, both of which enhance the belt's durability, prevent fraying, and extend operational life, even in demanding industrial environments.
Q: When should I select a bullnose, alligator, or custom seam type?
A: The seam type should be chosen based on your application's mechanical stress and required belt strength. Bullnose seams are ideal for smooth transitions and precise tracking, while alligator seams are favored for quick maintenance; custom options are available for specialized systems.
Q: Where can this conveyor belt be used?
A: This belt is widely utilized in sectors such as food processing, textile manufacturing, heat treatment facilities, packaging lines, and other applications that demand high-temperature resistance and non-stick performance.
Q: What is the process for ordering custom sizes or specifications?
A: Provide your operational requirements, including belt width, mesh size, thickness, and load capacity, to the supplier. They will design and manufacture the belt to your exact specifications, ensuring seamless integration into your system.
Q: How does the non-stick surface benefit my operations?
A: The smooth, PTFE-based non-stick finish prevents material adhesion, facilitating effortless cleaning and reducing downtime. This ensures higher productivity and maintains process hygiene, particularly in food and textile applications.
Q: Is the belt easy to maintain, and what are its main maintenance requirements?
A: Yes, the PTFE Mesh Conveyor Belt is designed for low maintenance. Its surface resists residue buildup, requiring only routine inspections and occasional cleaning to maintain peak performance, thus minimizing operational costs.
