In food processing, these belts are used in
washing, baking, dewatering, blanching, cooking, freezing ,
pasteurizing and depalleting. In glass and ceramics, this
construction finds wide use in firing, decorating, enameling and
annealing, and for curing fiberglass. In electronics, we find
glass-to-metal sealing, thick film firing, and drying of printed
circuit boards. In metalworking, the range is from general
conveying to heat-treating, quenching, calcining, annealing and
related processes.

One of the factors that make metal mesh belt
adaptable to so many applications is that it is available in many
different materials. From sub-zero to 2200F, whatever the
corrosive conditions may be, metal mesh belts may be woven of
virtually all wrought alloys that can be drawn into wire
form.
The standard edging for frictionally driven metal
mesh belts is the welded selvage. For applications or belt
constructions where weld are not desirable, a knuckled selvage may
be used. A variation of the knuckled selvage, which provides a
smooth outer edge as well as strength, is the ladder selvage.
Other selvages can be produced to suit application
needs.
