Precision-woven wires have no sharp edges, guaranteeing operator and production safety37.
🏭 Precision Manufacturing Process: The Foundation of High Performance
The exceptional performance of our stainless steel woven wire mesh sliding conveyor belt originates from strict control over every manufacturing link, combining advanced weaving technology with rigorous quality management to meet global industrial standards:
- Stainless Steel Wire Preparation: High-grade stainless steel ingots are drawn into wires of precise diameters (error ≤±0.01mm) via multi-pass drawing machines. The wires are annealed (1050-1150℃) to eliminate internal stress and improve flexibility and tensile strength. Surface cleaning removes oil stains and impurities to ensure weaving quality 47.
- Precision Mesh Weaving: The processed stainless steel wires are woven into mesh via computer-controlled precision looms. Different weave types are adopted according to application needs: ① Plain weave for general conveying (uniform mesh, good air permeability); ② Twill weave for high-load conveying (higher tensile strength); ③ Dutch weave for precision screening (small mesh size, high filtering accuracy). Weaving precision ensures mesh size error ≤±0.05mm 26.
- Belt Forming & Edge Reinforcement: The woven mesh is cut into required sizes via CNC cutting machines. Edge reinforcement is performed to prevent fraying—options include folded edges (welded or sewn) and reinforced steel strips (welded to mesh edges). The mesh is then connected to drive chains or sprocket holes via precision welding (argon arc welding) to form a complete conveyor belt 58.
- Heat Treatment & Surface Finishing: The formed belt undergoes targeted heat treatment: 304/316L belts are annealed to eliminate welding stress; 310S belts undergo solution treatment to enhance high-temperature resistance. Surface finishing processes (polishing, passivation) are performed according to application requirements to improve corrosion resistance and surface smoothness 9.
- Comprehensive Final Inspection: Finished conveyor belts undergo strict performance tests, including tensile strength, mesh size accuracy, welding firmness, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance. They are also tested for 2000+ hours of continuous operation under rated load to confirm reliability. Only qualified products are allowed to leave the factory, with complete test reports provided 9.
