Product Description
The Stainless Steel Chain Mesh / Chain Plate Conveyor is driven by stainless steel chains on both sides, with the mesh belt or chain plate serving as the carrying surface. Power is transmitted through sprocket-to-chain engagement, ensuring precise, synchronized conveying. Unlike friction-driven flat belt conveyors, this design excels in inclined, heavy-load, long-distance, and liquid- or oil-passing environments.
The system consists of: stainless steel mesh belt/chain plate, stainless steel chains, sprockets, drive unit, tensioning device, and frame. Mesh belts come in various weave patterns (balanced weave, double-strand weave, etc.) to meet different load and permeability requirements. Chain plates are driven by side-mounted stainless steel chains, ensuring stable and reliable operation – ideal for small or high-density items.

Applications
The Stainless Steel Chain Mesh / Chain Plate Conveyor is widely used in the following industries due to its high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and easy-cleaning properties:
Food Processing: Frozen foods, dehydrated vegetables, meat processing, baking, canning, seafood pre-processing lines
Heat Treatment & Metallurgy: Annealing furnaces, quenching furnaces, sintering furnaces, roasting, carburizing high-temperature kilns
Glass & Ceramics: Lehr annealing furnaces, decorating kilns
Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Corrosion-resistant material conveying, washing lines
Electronics & Light Industry: Electronic component conveying, powder metallurgy
Suitable for conveying bulk materials (granules, powders) and unit loads (bottles, cans, cartons, trays). Simultaneous processing such as washing, drying, cooling, and sterilization can be performed during conveying.
Our Advantages
| Feature | Description |
| Excellent high-temperature resistance | 304, 2520, and other stainless steel grades withstand annealing, quenching, and high-temperature kiln environments – up to 1200°C |
| Corrosion & chemical resistance | Stainless steel construction performs exceptionally well in wet, corrosive environments – ideal for food, chemical, and washing applications |
| Synchronous drive, no slipping | Sprocket-to-chain engagement ensures accurate, stable conveying speed – perfect for inclines, heavy loads, and long distances |
| High load capacity | Heavy-duty cross-rod connections and side plate guards provide high tensile strength, handling heavy items while preventing fall-offs |
| Open mesh structure | Perforated belt design allows liquid drainage and air circulation – ideal for washing, dewatering, drying, and cooling processes |
| Easy maintenance | Modular mesh/plate design allows damaged sections to be replaced individually without dismantling the entire conveyor |
| Highly customizable | Belt width, pitch, wire diameter, material grade, turning/incline angles all available upon request |
FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between stainless steel chain mesh and chain plate conveyors?
The chain mesh conveyor uses a woven mesh belt with open perforations, facilitating drainage and airflow – ideal for washing, drying, and cooling processes. The chain plate conveyor uses solid metal plates, providing a flat, smooth surface – better suited for conveying high-density items, small parts, or applications requiring complete support.
Q2: What temperature ranges can they handle?
304 stainless steel can handle temperatures up to approximately 600°C–800°C, while 2520 heat-resistant steel can withstand up to 1200°C, making it suitable for high-temperature kiln and furnace applications.
Q3: Can it handle curved or inclined paths?
Yes. Configurations include horizontal straight, incline/climb, and turning/curved layouts to suit various plant floor plans.
Q4: Is it suitable for food processing applications?
Yes. 304 and 316 stainless steel materials meet food-grade hygiene standards. The open mesh design also facilitates thorough cleaning and drainage.
Q5: Is the conveyor easy to maintain?
Yes. The modular construction allows individual sections of mesh or chain plates to be replaced without dismantling the entire system, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Q6: What industries is it suitable for?
Food processing, heat treatment, glass and ceramics, chemical and pharmaceutical, electronics, powder metallurgy, and other heavy-duty or high-temperature applications.
Q7: What is the maximum belt width?
Standard customization ranges from 150mm to 5000mm, depending on specific requirements.
Q8: Can it convey both bulk materials and unit loads?
Yes. It is suitable for conveying bulk materials (granules, powders) as well as unit loads (bottles, cans, cartons, trays). Customized side skirts and flights can be added for bulk material applications.
