Rod Reinforced Weave Belt

The Rod Reinforced Belts consists of relatively elongated spiral woven together and reinforced by inserting a straight cross road between them. These belts can withstand high tensile strength at elevated temperatures with very little elongation length wise or width wise. Reinforced chain link belts are for cooling of bread rolls and washing of vegetables

A single directional weave with a straight connecting rod to add strength to the weave. Generally used in high temperature furnaces where high strength to weight is required. This weave does not track well due to the single directional weave.

Designation of R or RR. R-18-17-8-10
R = Rod Reinforced
18 = loops per foot width
17 = spirals per foot length
8 = 8 gauge crossrod (.162”)
10 = 10 gauge spiral wire (.135”)

The double rod reinforced weave belt is an assembly of double spirals, usually right-hand, inter-woven into a preceding pair. The spirals are reinforced by a straight cross-rod connector passing through its vertices. Although similar to a rod reinforced belt, this type of weave has greater strength and a flatter surface for carrying small parts. Its greater tensile strength makes this belt ideal for carrying heavier loads.
