This is the simplest of all belt designs and comes with either a welded or a knuckled selvedge. It is suitable for side mesh on filter belts, collapsible mesh screens or applications where tracking characteristics are not critical.
Chain link belting is mainly suitable for the handling of small and lighter weight products. The permissible load on this type of belting is relatively small compared to other types of wire belting that are available.
Straight running on friction driven conveyors is facilitated by the joining together of left and right- handed panels by means of either a straight or crimped connecting rod.
This design of belt is used in light duty drying and cooling applications as well as general conveying.
They are also used when a relatively low initial cost is required as these belts are very economical and relatively cheap to manufacture.
