The Advantages of Flat-Flex® Belting

At Wire Belt, we offer Flat-Flex^® belting which has numerous advantages that help contain costs
and increase productivity for your business.

Our Flat-Flex^® belting has a design of woven wire belting that is positively driven through the belt.
This has advantages for your system, giving it great flow-through and tracking properties. Here are
some more advantages of Flat-Flex^® Belting for your business:

Flexibility

As the name suggests, our Flat-Flex^® belt has great flexibility which makes it possible for use in a
wide array of applications. Its excellent flexibility means the belt can negotiate transfer shafts as
small as a pencil.

Flat-Flex^® is manufactured in stainless steel 1.4310 (302) or music wire. There are also other
specialty materials available on request as well as PTFE coating. So that your belts can be suited to
their specific applications, more than 60 different pitch and wire combinations are available. You can
read here for more information on Flat-Flex^® belt applications.

Open Design

Another advantage of our Flat-Flex^® belts is their open design. The many different pitch sizes we
offer means an open area of up to 86%, this makes it a great choice where circulation of liquids, dry
coatings, air or gas is important around products on the move.

The open design allows a wide variety of products to be conveyed hygienically. In addition, the low
belt mass helps your business contain costs and maximise efficiency.

An example of Flat-Flex^® use is in the chocolate manufacturing industry, where the belts are used for
the chocolate coating, also known as enrobing, of products for either full or half coat operations.
During the coating process, the open design allows surplus chocolate to pass through the belt and be
pumped back into re-circulation.

Speciality Belt

Our Flat-Flex^® belts can also be produced to your specifications as specialty belts. These are custom-
made and produced by our experienced engineers to fit your exact specifications.
This can be useful to you if you have a complex product that requires careful or special handling. Or
perhaps you need to move your product along steep inclines whilst keeping it aligned. Whatever
your need, Wire Belt can help.
