About SSC PTFE Coated Open 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.

FAQ's of SSC PTFE Coated Open Mesh Conveyor Belt:
Q: How does the open mesh design benefit industrial processes?
A: The open mesh structure allows for superior air circulation and heat transfer, making it ideal for processes like drying, curing, and cooling in industries such as textiles and food processing. This design supports efficient product handling while maintaining high performance under demanding conditions.
Q: What are the options for mesh size and how do I select the right one?
A: You can choose between 4x4 mm, 2x2 mm, or request a fully customized mesh size based on your application's airflow and product support needs. Smaller mesh provides finer support for delicate items, while larger mesh increases airflow for rapid drying or heat treatment.
Q: When is edge reinforcement necessary for my conveyor belt?
A: Edge reinforcement with PTFE-coated fabric and stitched finish enhances belt durability, especially in high-load or high-speed operations. It prevents fraying, adds stability, and prolongs the service life of the belt in rigorous working environments.
Q: Where can these conveyor belts be used?
A: SSC PTFE Coated Open Mesh Conveyor Belts are widely used in sectors like food processing, textile manufacturing, screen printing, drying ovens, packaging, and any application where heat resistance, airflow, and non-stick properties are essential.
Q: What joining methods are available, and which should I choose?
A: Belts can be supplied with stainless steel clipper joints for quick installation or customized joints tailored to your system. The optimal joining method depends on your machinery type, cleaning requirements, and durability expectations-ask our technical team for advice.
Q: How do I maintain and clean the PTFE coated conveyor belt?
A: The non-stick PTFE coating ensures that most substances do not adhere to the belt surface. Simply wipe clean or wash with water and mild detergent as necessary. Regular checks and periodic cleaning will maintain optimal performance with minimal effort.
Q: What are the core benefits of using this conveyor belt in industrial applications?
A: Key advantages include high temperature and chemical resistance, customizable sizing, a flexible and lightweight structure, and easy installation. These factors lead to improved product quality, reduced operational interruptions, and lower total maintenance costs.
