Grid Belt Conveyors
Grid Belt Conveyors are consisting of two or more parallel rubber chains connected by either fiberglass or stainless steel rods to form a continuous grid that supports and conveys single piece or continuous products.
Grid belts with rubber chains and fiberglass rods provide a conveyor which eliminates damage to soft unvulcanized rubber whether it’s used in immersion, spray or air cooling applications. Grid Belts are also used in vegetable and potato harvester applications carrying produce in a gentle way from the harvester to the collection bin. The design of the grid belt with no metal surface makes it ideal for the rough farming environment, it is easy to clean and the soil brought to the conveyor by uprooting the vegetables can not damage the link-less grid belt unlike traditional conveyor chains. Since our rubber chains need no lubrication, soil and dirt does not cling to it. Many other uses in other applications are possible, typically as horizontal conveyor or tracks for vehicles.
Grid Belts carry the band of rubber or other material to be cooled. The open grid of the grid belts allows the product to be surrounded evenly by the cooling medium from all sides.
