Chain-driven mesh belts are one of the most widely used types of mesh belts. Their simple structure and low operating cost make them popular with many users. So, what are the differences between chain-driven and ordinary mesh belts?

Chain-driven stainless steel mesh belts are made by installing chains on stainless steel mesh belts. The mesh belt and chain are linked together via support shafts, changing the traditional roller drive mode of mesh belts to chain drive. They are also known as stainless steel mesh chains.

Compared to traditional stainless steel mesh belts, chain-driven stainless steel mesh belts have the following advantages:

1: Smooth operation and no deviation. By changing the mesh belt to chain drive, the drive sprocket accurately positions the chain and mesh belt. The chain pitch ensures synchronous operation of the chains on both sides of the mesh belt, thus completely solving the problem of mesh belt deviation.

2. High tensile strength: Traditional mesh belts rely on rollers on both sides to stretch the belt as much as possible to ensure its operation. This means that the mesh belt has to bear the weight of the conveyed material as well as the huge tensile force of the equipment itself, making it prone to deformation and damage. In contrast, chain-type stainless steel mesh belts distribute the tensile force of the equipment to the chain and support shafts, allowing the mesh belt to operate only under the weight of the conveyed material, thus greatly increasing the service life of the mesh belt.
