Trapezoidal Mesh Belt pitch, wire and spaces counted to your belt
A trapezoidal mesh belt is a wire-formed metal conveyor belt made of bent cross wires linked into trapezoidal spaces, used in frying, coating and custom food conveyor lines. It fits only when the wire pitch, wire diameter, number of spaces, edge type and drive match your equipment. YIYI Mesh Belt forms these belts on automatic equipment and builds each one to the drawing you approve.

Six trapezoidal mesh belt problems and how production control prevents them
Problems that occur on trapezoidal mesh belts in service, and the control YIYI Mesh Belt applies at each order stage.

Edge built the wrong way

Every custom belt goes through the same controls. Send your wire pitch, wire diameter, number of spaces and width for a fit check. Read replacing a belt without the original drawing.
Production and inspection
Six checkpoints between raw material and packing. Belts are formed on automatic equipment in our own workshop; every belt is inspected before it ships. Full detail: manufacturing and quality control.
01Material in
Round bar drawn in-house. Diameter, composition and hardness checked per batch.
02Trial section
Pitch, wire and spaces measured against your approved drawing before full production.
03Wire check
Wire diameter and pitch checked with a caliper on the trial section.
04Sprocket check
Sprocket-driven belts run on their sprocket before shipment.
05Edge check
Edge size and finish checked along the belt.
06Final inspection
Pitch, width, edges and cleanliness checked on every belt before packing.
15 automatic machines, used only for trapezoidal belts
Our trapezoidal belts are formed on 15 dedicated automatic machines in our own workshop. Each cross wire is bent by a programmed forming head, so the same programme that made your approved trial section makes the full order and any repeat order.

Trapezoidal Mesh Belt questions
What is a trapezoidal mesh belt?
A trapezoidal mesh belt is a wire-formed metal conveyor belt made of bent cross wires linked into trapezoidal spaces. It is used in frying, coating and custom food conveyor lines.
Which specifications are available?
Wire pitch 4–23.8 mm, wire 1–2.8 mm and width 76–2352 mm, with at least 3 spaces across the width. The number of spaces and edge size are confirmed on the drawing.
What is the difference between SLE and DLE?
SLE is a single-loop edge and DLE a double-loop edge. The edge type, edge size and whether the edge is pressed are confirmed for each belt.
Which materials are available?
SUS304 or SUS316, chosen for your process conditions.
Do you supply sprockets?
Yes. Stainless steel, nylon, UHMWPE or POM sprockets are matched to the belt pitch, tooth count, bore and keyway on the drawing.
How do I measure an old trapezoidal mesh belt?
Measure pitch over 10 wires and divide by 10, the wire with a caliper, count the spaces across the width and measure one, then overall width and edge size. Note the edge type and whether it is pressed.
