Metal mesh & plate belts
Links that last.
Metal conveyor and process belts (plate links on rods, woven and rod constructions) for baking, drying, washing, quenching and everything too hot or too heavy for rubber.
When a process bakes, dries, washes, sinters or quenches, polymer belts give up. Metal process belts carry product straight through the heat: plate belts built from links on rods for flat, stable carrying surfaces; woven and rod belts where airflow through the belt drives the process.
Belt choice is a balance of temperature, load, tracking and hygiene. Averinox sizes the construction (plate thickness, link pitch, rod diameter, edge design) to the machine and the product, and supplies the wear parts with it: sprockets, guards, flights.
Belts are measured on site where needed, delivered to length, and installed or supervised on request. For urgent belt failures we arrange what is needed to get the line moving again.
Applications
- Baking, roasting and cooling lines in food processing
- Drying and curing ovens
- Washing, blanching and quenching installations
- Sintering and heat-treatment furnaces
- Transport of hot, sharp or heavy products
Features & benefits
- Constructions for continuous service up to ~1100 °C
- Flat, stable carrying surface, also for small or soft products
- Hygienic stainless executions for food and pharma
- Complete scope: belt, sprockets, accessories, installation
- Measurement and replacement planned around your shutdown
Specifications

Materials & variants
304 and 316L cover food and general process duty; heat-resistant steels carry furnace applications; mild steel serves abrasive bulk transport. Combinations of belt type and alloy are selected per temperature profile and load case.
Frequently asked questions
Our belt keeps mistracking: replace or adjust?
Mistracking is usually a machine or loading issue, not the belt's fault. We check tensioning, alignment and product loading first; replacing a belt without that diagnosis tends to repeat the failure.
Can you copy our existing plate belt?
Yes: from a sample, a drawing or an on-site measurement. We document the link, rod and edge design so the next replacement is a phone-free, drawing-based reorder.
Can a metal belt run continuously at 900 °C?
Yes, with heat-resistant steels the constructions run to ~1100 °C continuous. What decides the design is the full picture: temperature profile along the oven, product load and the cooling zone. Send those three and we select belt type and alloy.
What belt widths do you build?
100 mm to 3000 mm is the typical range, as plate belts, woven metal belts or spiral/rod constructions. Side guards, flights and sprockets are supplied with the belt so the whole system wears as one.
What do you need to quote a replacement belt?
Machine type and drawing if you have them; otherwise the old belt tells the story: link pitch, rod diameter, width, edge design and a photo of the drive. No drawing at all? We measure on site and document the design so every next reorder is drawing-based.
