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

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.
