Conveyor Belt Material Chart

As a result of our experience, Wire-Mesh Products has developed benchmarks for proper alloy selection. From start to finish, we make sure to only provide the highest quality materials to our customers and their operations. We work with our trusted suppliers in a continuing effort to develop new conveyor belt materials and refine the chemical composition of existing alloys.

Our material is 80% recyclable for LEEDS building materials and/or corporate recycling objectives. View real time data and pricing on nickel in today’s marketplace: Stainless Steel News & Nickel Prices

WMP has re-engineered its core manufacturing processes to reduce down-time and improve output capabilities. From initial tool manufacture to belt completion, WMP adheres to a strict quality assurance program to guarantee the finest manufacturing performance. A primary distinction of the manufacturing process begins with the weaving tool engineering. Due to improved technology and specialized heat treating, WMP is able to produce the thinnest and most precise belt specifications in the industry. Benefits include less stretch, less splicing, minimize initial camber, improved tracking, and greater overall belt life
