Open Grid Plastic Modular Belts

Open-grid modular belts create deliberate paths through the conveying surface for water, air or process debris. They are frequently considered for washing, draining, cooling and food-process sections, but the percentage of open area should never be selected without checking the smallest product footprint and the opening pattern.The straight-running comparison range includes open-area examples such as 14% and 28% at 15.2 mm pitch, 16% at 19.05 mm, 29% at 25 mm, 34-35% at 25.4 mm, 38% at 27.2 mm and 20% on one 50.8 mm configuration. These values are configuration references, not a promise that every opening level can be combined with every width or material.Drainage and support need to be balancedProcess goalCheck before increasing open areaDrain waterProduct must remain supported across the opening patternImprove airflowAir path, product bed and whole conveyor still control coolingRelease debrisOpening geometry should suit the debris without trapping productReduce carryoverHinge/opening cleaning and downstream collection still matterRFQ focusSend the product dimensions, desired process function, belt pitch/width if known, straight/curve path, transfer points and any existing sprocket information.
