Wire mesh belt seam&Thermosetting and edges

Woven wire cloth belts for conveyor, drying or sieving purposes need to be seamed in many cases. This means that the two sides of the belt need to be joined in order to make the wire cloth belt endless. This can be done in various ways, for instance by weaving the belt endless in a seamless way, by applying a single eye or double eye seam, by a stainless steel clipper seam or a spiral connection. A welded seam on steel wire mesh is also possible, however this is not a manner to make a belt specifically endless but to connect two ends when necessary. Some examples of these seams are shown below:

Thermosetting polyester wire cloth is recommended in most cases. Certainly when the customer is going to use the polyester wire mesh belt in severe circumstances. Thermosetting the polyester wire cloth will prevent stretch during the time that it is in operation, such as situations with high temperatures and force on the polyester woven wire cloth. Finished edges on a wire mesh belt is also recommended when using it for conveyor purposes, this can be done by melting the edge by high frequency or adding a edge of polyurethane.
