flat wire belt specifications · YIYI Mesh Belt technical library
A flat wire belt, also called a honeycomb belt, is an open metal conveyor belt made of flat strips joined by cross rods. It is used in baking, cooling, drying and washing lines where product needs a flat, open surface. It fits only when mesh pitch, rod pitch, rod diameter, strip size, number of openings, edge and sprockets match the line. YIYI Mesh Belt builds each belt to the drawing you approve, or re-measures your old belt.

From our Document Library: the dimensions and options to compare with your current belt, and how the belt is made and inspected.
Choose the edge, surface and accessories, or send your drawing. Tap “Add to RFQ” and your choice goes into the enquiry form.
Materials, geometry and components are selected together for the application on the approved drawing.
Belt and sprockets from one drawing. Matched drive sprockets and spare rods are supplied per project.

Every custom belt goes through the same controls. Send your mesh pitch, belt width and edge type for a fit check. Read why flat wire belts deform.
Six checkpoints between raw material and packing. Flat strip is checked and punched in our own workshop; every belt is inspected before it ships. Full detail: manufacturing and quality control.
Strip coils checked for material and size before punching.
Strip thickness measured with a micrometer, rod diameter with a caliper.
Strip punched on our presses; first pieces checked before the batch runs.
Strips and rods assembled to the order; width and openings checked.
Belt run over a matched sprocket before shipment when both are supplied.
Pitch, width, edges, flatness and cleanliness checked on every belt before packing.
A belt that does not meet the approved drawing does not go to packing: it is recorded, reworked or remade, and inspected again. 100% final inspection is not a zero-defect or lifetime guarantee. Lead time is confirmed per order.
See your own belt measured before it ships. Ask for a video call from the workshop.
A flat wire belt, also called a honeycomb belt, is an open metal conveyor belt made of flat strips joined by cross rods. It gives a flat, open surface for baking, cooling, drying and washing.
Mesh pitch is the transverse pitch of the strip openings. YIYI Mesh Belt builds mesh pitches from 12.7 to 40 mm (0.500–1.575 in); the number of openings is a custom odd number on the drawing.
1.2 × 9.5, 1.2 × 10, 1.42 × 9.4, 1.6 × 12, 1.6 × 12.7 and 2.8 × 16 mm (thickness × height).
Washer welded, clinched or rod welded. The edge is chosen with the belt width, rod and drive interface on the approved drawing.
SUS304, SUS316, SUS316L or mild steel, with mill finish, pickling or electropolishing selected for the material and application.
Yes. Stainless steel (SUS304 / SUS316) and polymer (nylon, UHMWPE, POM) sprockets are made to the rod pitch, tooth count, bore and keyway on your drawing.
Measure rod pitch over 10 pitches and divide by 10, the rod and the strip with a caliper, the mesh pitch, the number of openings and the overall width. Send a sample when you can.
We keep project records on our official website: what the customer sent, how we built it, and how it was measured. See Flat Wire Belt projects on the official website →
Quotation
Belt width, mesh pitch and edge type are enough to start. We reply with what we can build and a quotation. Add a drawing or a photo of the old belt if you have one.
Belt width, drum diameter (or turn ratio) and turn direction are enough to start. A photo of your old belt works too.
