Applications of Wire Mesh Belts

Only one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers committed to producing the highest quality custom wire mesh in the business can tell you from their first-hand experience that applications of wire mesh are virtually endless. Stainless steel wire mesh remains one of the most popular and used widely in the industrial, agricultural, and food sectors. The characteristics that make wire mesh such a versatile product is that it can be produced in an unlimited number of specifications, whether your belting needs are at low or elevated temperatures.

Moreover, depending on the manufacturing possibilities, there are almost endless uses across industries with a combination of sizes, materials, and wire diameters that can be achieved, depending on the application it is to be used for. The reason for such wide usage is due to certain characteristics, listed below:

 

1. Corrosion-resistant: These are used in the areas and industries where there is maximum exposure to the elements. So wire mesh made of stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion as it decays the least.

2. Tolerance to high temperature: These wire meshes made of stainless steel can work in extremely hot or cold conditions. Also, these are used in physically separating and sieving different-sized particles in many industries.

3. Low maintenance: The wire mesh belts are used highly in conveyor systems because of their durability. Plus, due to their high stable reactive nature, these can last a lifetime with maximum functionality.

 

Different applications of wire mesh belts

On the subject of the application, wire mesh is widely used in many industries for its durable structure suitable for a variety of applications:

 

• A versatile product, used in storage and racking: These are used in areas such as platforms, walkways, conveyor belts, and much more, mostly in the fields where there is a lot of loading and unloading of materials. You will see manufacturers designing it for racking and storage of the warehouses and supermarkets. For conveyor systems and storage there is a requirement for a material that is highly durable despite the challenging environment. Depending on the conveyor it is being used on, there are almost countless possibilities for combinations of sizes and diameters of mesh that can be achieved.

• Used in food preparations and processing: If you operate in the food production and processing industry then you would probably know the benefits of a high-quality wire mesh basket. Moreover, the wire mesh is used in many products across the food and beverage industry, for instance in items like barbecue grills, deep frying baskets as well as doomed food covers. Whether you want custom wire cloth filters, fabricated screens, or multi-contour filler elements, everything can be done with the help of an industry-leading expert.  These food-grade stainless steels are corrosion resistant and can be used for a variety of purposes including, liquid food products and beverages, filtration, food handling, sugar refining, sifting, and sizing of spices.

• In buildings and construction: Apart from all the uses stated above, wire mesh remains a staple in the building and construction industry. For wall retention, it is integrated into the concrete to impart strength and stability to the structure. The other applications include but are not limited to, bridge and highway maintenance, in-fill panels, enclosures and safety guards.
