Eyelink belts: production, application and expertise

What are Eyelink belts?

Eyelink belts are metal conveyor belts that are specially designed for high-quality transport applications. Their structure consists of closely spaced links and segments, which are precisely connected to create a stable, flat surface. This design offers an ideal solution for industries that need a relationship with:

• High load-bearing capacity: Can transport heavy products without deformation, making it ideal for heavy-duty transport applications.
• Accurate guidance: Prevents alignment problems and ensures smooth product flow within industrial transport solutions.
• Excellent ventilation: Suitable for food processing belts, especially for heat treatment, drying or cleaning.
• Durability & longevity: Resistant to wear, corrosion and extreme temperatures, surpassing traditional transport systems.

Key benefits of Eyelink belts

In contrast to traditional woven belts, eyelink belts are a strong and stable structure, minimizing bending or deformation under heavy loads. This makes them ideal for industries that require conveyor belts with a linear, positive drive for precise product positioning.

Eyelink belts have an open structure, which ensures efficient airflow, fluid removal and easy cleaning. This makes them particularly suitable for the food industry, where hygiene is of the utmost importance.

Made of high-quality stainless steel or other durable metals, these belts offer a long operational life with minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and costs.

Applications in various markets

Eyelink belts are extremely versatile and are widely used in various sectors, including:

• 1. Food industry
  
  • ‍Eyelink belts are ideal for transporting delicate products such as bread & pastries, potatoes, meat and vegetables. Food safety is also guaranteed thanks to easy cleaning and heat resistance in high-temperature applications. This makes the eyelink belt ideal for processes such as cooling, drying, baking and frying.

• 2. Automotive & heavy industry
  
  • ‍Eyelink belts are also used for transporting metal parts and components on production lines. They can withstand high temperatures and heavy loads without problems.

• 3. Packaging & logistics sector
  • In addition, they also ensure the smooth transit of packaged goods and reduce product shifts through accurate guidance and stability.
• 4. Heat treatment & industrial processing
  • Is exposure to high temperatures or chemical treatment required? Even then, our eyelink belts are suitable for this. The open structure ensures uniform distribution of heat and/or chemicals.

Wire tape variants and customization by Tribelt

With years of expertise, Tribelt is a renowned manufacturer of metal conveyor belts, including a wide range of eyelink belts. Our solutions are tailored to meet specific industrial needs.

1. Type of eyelink belts

Tribelt offers multiple designs to meet different requirements:

• Type 1000 — If chain drives are required, we offer our Type 1000 KE.
• Type 1100 — Our standard wire tape, suitable for most applications.
• Type 1110 (New) — Our latest version with squashed eyes, allowing for an even smaller opening.
• Type 1150 — Our wire tape without locating wire.
• Locating wire supports the belt, keeps the eyes in place and determines the distance between the eyes.

2. Drive elements for improved functionality

To maximize the efficiency of eyelink belts, Tribelt supplies customized drive elements for perfect integration with existing transport systems:

• Drive wheel (Type 1100T: OGB-L) — Ensures accurate interaction with the beltfor smooth operation.
• Cage drum (Type 1100K: OGB-L) — Facilitates belt guidance and reduces wear during use.
