Closed Spiral Belts: production, application and expertise

What are closed spiral belts?

Closed spiral belts are high-quality metal conveyor belts that are specially designed for production processes where a dense belt surface, high stability and accurate product guidance are essential. These belts consist of spirally woven wires that provide a flat and robust transport surface. Due to their construction, they can transport small products safely, while at the same time being resistant to high temperatures and mechanical stress.

Features of closed spiral belts:

• Dense tire surface: prevents loss or damage to small products.
• High stability: ensures a straight and reliable belt run.
• Temperature resistant: suitable for processes up to approximately 1150°C.
• Precision production: customization possible for specific process needs.

These properties make closed spiral belts a reliable solution for various industrial applications that focus on precision and continuity.

Key benefits of closed spiral belts

Closed spiral belts offer companies and operators a range of benefits that directly contribute to efficiency, safety and ease of maintenance:

1. Efficiency and process continuity: the stable and straight running behavior minimizes downtime and product loss.
2. Durability and robustness: suitable for heavy mechanical loads and high temperatures, significantly extending the life of the tire.
3. Optimal heat transfer: thanks to the dense surface, products are treated evenly in ovens, sterilization tunnels or heat treatment processes.
4. Ease of maintenance: Tribelt's construction and in-house production guarantee consistent quality and easy replacements when necessary.
5. Safety and product protection: small products stay on the belt, while the robust design prevents damage.

Because of these advantages, closed spiral belts not only contribute to product quality, but also to the operational efficiency and reliability of the production process.

Applications in various sectors

Closed spiral belts are used worldwide in various sectors, where specific transport and heat treatment processes are crucial:

• Bakery industry: as oven belts for direct baking on the belt.
• Pharmaceutical industry: in sterilization tunnels for the safe and controlled processing of medicinal products.
• Metal and glass industry: for processes such as annealing, tempering, hardening, sintering and brazing.
• Mechanical engineering: as output belts for machining machines.
• Heat treatment: as curtains or screens in tunnel ovens for heat preservation.
• Decorative applications: for example in jewelry production, where precision is essential.

This wide range of applications shows that closed spiral belts offer versatile solutions for industrial as well as food and special production processes.
