When conveying small, delicate or precision manufactured products, choosing the right conveyor belt can make a significant difference to product quality, process efficiency and overall line performance. For applications where standard conveyor belts may provide insufficient support, Cordweave conveyor belts offer a highly effective solution. Known throughout the industry as compound balanced (CB) belting, Cordweave belts are specifically designed to provide a close, flat mesh surface while maintaining excellent heat transfer characteristics.
Cordweave is based on the balanced spiral belt design but incorporates multiple spirals and cross rods per pitch, effectively creating a “belt within a belt.” This unique construction significantly reduces the size of the belt apertures, producing a dense mesh with a smooth and stable carrying surface. The result is a conveyor belt capable of supporting products that may be too small or unstable for more open mesh belt designs.
One of the biggest challenges when conveying small products is preventing them from tipping, becoming trapped or falling through the belt openings. Thanks to its high density construction and flat carrying surface, Cordweave belting is ideal for handling products such as:
Its close mesh design helps provide greater product stability throughout the manufacturing process, reducing waste and improving line efficiency.
In many food processing applications, consistent heat transfer is essential for achieving repeatable product quality. Cordweave belts are particularly popular in baking applications because their dense construction promotes uniform heat transfer across the conveyor surface. This helps ensure products receive consistent exposure to heat, contributing to more even baking, cooking, drying or cooling results. For manufacturers, this can help improve product consistency while supporting efficient production processes.
Every production line is different, which is why Cordweave belts can be supplied in a range of configurations.
Available options include:
Alternative materials are also available on request. It’s this flexibility that allows engineers to specify a belt solution tailored to their exact operational requirements.
Cordweave belts are commonly operated using friction driven roller systems, providing a simple and economical conveyor solution. For applications requiring greater drive control and belt tracking, chain edge variants are also available. When properly selected and maintained, Cordweave belts provide a durable and dependable conveyor solution capable of supporting a wide variety of manufacturing and processing environments.
