U Type Chain or Honeycomb conveyor belt
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.
Honeycomb belt is available in a wide range of specifications. The examples listed in the following tables are the most common. Belts can be up to 5 metres wide, alternative specifications are available, please contact our Technical Sales Engineers for information
