Open Mesh PTFE Coated Conveyor Belts

PTFE mesh conveyor belts are made from fiberglass or Kevlar mesh coated with PTFE, ideal for high-temperature settings that need good airflow through the belt. The PTFE coating also ensures excellent non-stick properties, making these belts a go-to for various product movement and drying applications. Our PTFE open mesh belts can be manufactured into endless conveyor belting with sealed edges as per your specifications.

What is PTFE Mesh

PTFE mesh is crafted from glassfiber or kevlar, coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resin. This base of woven fiberglass or Kevlar gives it excellent strength and stability. The PTFE coating makes the surface non-stick and able to handle temperatures ranging from -100°F to +550°F. The mesh design ensures high airflow and minimal heat loss, making it perfect for food-grade applications like dehydration sheets, grill mats, or conveyor belting for drying and curing processes. Typically, we offer different mesh holes, such as 1x1mm, 2×2.5mm, 4x4mm, 8x8mm, 10x10mm, with a max width of 4000mm. Custom lengths are available for special orders.

Key Points Help You Order

PTFE mesh belts might seem common, but they’re not standard products. They involve details that need expert advice and tailored plans from suppliers. Here are essential factors to consider, drawn from our extensive experience, to guide you.

1: Colors

Brown color or Black color? Make your choice.

2: Double Weft (Stitching) Or Single?

The single weft mesh is perfect for food processing tasks like baking and dehydrating, ensuring safe and efficient cooking. For more demanding industrial tasks, our double weft mesh provides enhanced strength, making it ideal for laminating and material transport.

The data herein are averages based on the authoritative testing of several lot numbers. This information is intended for comparison purposes only. Maximum continuous operating temperature is 500 °F/260 °C for all open mesh belts not including Kevlar®  (356 °F/180 °C). 

4: Width and Length

Non-standard belt sizes are available. Please contact your Sales Representative for more information.

5: Protective Reinforcement Edges

To enhance the tracking and belt life, we use various PTFE films and PTFE-reinforced fiberglass fabrics to reinforce belt edges.

PTFE film (red) is the most common reinforcement material on the edges.

Heat Sealed PTFE Films

Integrated Seamlessly: Achieving a Flawless and Durable Finish

Heat Sealed PTFE Fabrics

Enduring Performance: Advanced Edge Protection

Kevlar Edge Reinforcements

Unmatched Strength for Extended Use: Reinforced with Kevlar Edging

For added durability, heat-sealed edges of open mesh belting can also be sewn upon request, providing an extra layer of reinforcement.

Sewn and Sealed

Edge reinforcement gets sewed and welded to accomplish optimal durability.

6: Belts Joints (Splice Options)

Proper belt running is only possible if we choose a suitable joint. We must take into account the following factors:

Bullnose Joint

Most common. There are special eyelets at the end of the belt and the belt can be connected in place to an endless one with a plastic bar. Suitable for lighter joints, the spiral does not protrude above the surface of the tape and does not cause damage to the products.

Alligator Joint

Metal hooks are pressed into the ends of the belt, so that the belt can be joined into an endless one with a metal bar. It is possible to make sure that the hooks do not protrude above the surface of the belt. Suitable for belts with higher stress.

Castellated Joint

At both ends, loops of aramid or fiberglass foil are formed, which fit together and the belt can be joined in place with a plastic bar. Suitable for lighter joints, the spiral does not protrude above the surface of the belt and does not cause damage to the products.

Spiral joint

A special plastic spiral is attached to the ends of the belt and the belt can be joined in place to an endless one with a plastic bar. Suitable for lighter joints, the spiral does not protrude above the surface of the tape and does not cause damage to the products.
