Custom Edge Design Options
Explore Our Mesh Edge Options
The edge designs below are the most commonly used.
Heli Arc Welded Edge
- Spiral loop end is welded to the connecting rod or crimp.
Truss Edge
- Spiral loop is trimmed longer than that in the heli-arc welded format and then bent down to itself and welded in place.
- The connecting rod or crimp is also welded to the spiral finishing off this stronger “Truss” configuration.
Knuckle & Welded Edge
- Only used with Double Balanced Weave meshes, creating a strong finished edge.
Explore Our Belt Retaining Edge Options
The following are our retaining edge options for wire-mesh conveyor belts.
Cast Leg Insert Plate
- A solid one-piece alloy construction retaining edge.
- Available in a variety of heights and widths.
- Inserted into a spiral so that the plate won’t be negatively affected by belt stretch.
Wicket

- Available in a wide range of heights (limited to widths based on the belt).
- Inserted into a spiral or formed from the belt connecting the rod itself.
- Provides a limited retaining edge functionality (not useful for smaller parts).
- Low-cost option.
Top Mounted Plate
