What is a Wire Belt Conveyor?
A wire belt conveyor uses an open-mesh metal belt made from stainless steel or other durable alloys.
Unlike solid belt conveyors, the wire mesh design allows for airflow, drainage, and heat transfer, making them ideal for food processing and other applications that require cooling, drying, washing, or heating during transport.
