Flat Wire Conveyor Belt Structural Parameters

Spiral Pitch (Helix Pitch)

The center-to-center distance between adjacent flat wire spirals along the belt's running direction. This parameter directly affects belt openness, airflow, and product support.

• Pitch range: 6 – 50 mm
• Fine pitch (6–12 mm): small products, high support
• Medium pitch (12–25 mm): food processing, general conveying
• Large pitch (25–50 mm): heavy-duty or cooling applications
  

Cross Rod Pitch / Rod Spacing

The vertical spacing between adjacent cross rods (connecting rods) that interlock the flat wire spirals and maintain belt structure.

• Rod spacing range: 10 – 40 mm
• 10–15 mm: tight structure, precision conveying
• 15–25 mm: standard industrial flat wire belts
• 25–40 mm: lightweight or high-open-area belts

Cross Rod Diameter

The diameter of the straight rods inserted through the spirals, determining belt strength, load capacity, and wear resistance.

• Diameter range: 2.0 – 6.0 mm
• Common sizes: 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm
• Heavy-duty belts may use 5.0–6.0 mm rods
  

Flat Wire Spiral Diameter

The thickness (wire diameter) of the flat wire spiral forming the belt surface. This is a critical factor for durability, flexibility, and load rating.

• Flat wire thickness range: 1.0 – 4.0 mm
• Standard industrial range: 1.2 – 2.5 mm
• Heavy-load applications: 3.0 – 4.0 mm
