GKD Process Belts are designed and manufactured to the highest international standard, providing excellent product support, consistent heat conducting, flow rates and belt apertures. |
|
Our belts are woven with either monofilament or flexible multifilament
cables in the Machine Direction Our belts can be woven up to 8m wide and up to 150m continuous length. BSF Process belts are woven on state of the art looms that promote unrivalled belt stability and support. BSF Process Belts are manufactured from all types of weavable metal wires and can also be woven, using a combination of metal and plastic wires such as the GKD DUOFIL belt. GKD's is a world leader in seaming technologies and special edge-securing techniques. |

Weave Construction |
|
| The characteristic of a mesh belt depends on the wire diameters, the number of wires in both the warp (running) and weft (cross) directions and the weave pattern. | |
A weave pattern is determined by the sequence of intersections, between the warp and weft wires. The following, details the most common GKD weave constructions and a brief description of their weave patterns. |
 |
Warp wires pass over
and under successive weft wires and vice-versa, resulting in an
exact opening that can supplied in all weavable metals and synthetics
belts |
|
Twilled Weave The warp wires passes over and under at least
two weft wires offering a smooth surface and excellent running characteristics.
|
 |
Tela Weave An advanced twilled weave
in a 4 over and 1 under (5-heddle) pattern. This construction offers
very fine mesh openings, a much smoother surface and higher wear-resistance
on the long crimp surface side. |
 |
Single-twisted means that this mesh has a high grade twisted warp cable in the running direction and a solid weft wire in the cross direction. This style offers flexibility in the running direction, and stability in the cross direction. GKD "single-twisted" process belts are offered in plain or twilled weaves. Bundle Warp Mesh An advanced single-twisted
process belt. Several twisted warp cables are joined in a specific
pattern to link the weft wires. This construction yields perfect
flatness and high cross stability, especially with perfectly straightened
weft wires. |
 |
Bar Belt Bundle
warp conveyor belts, use twisted warp wires which are spaced further
apart than other belts. Bundle Belts also use larger weft cables
(Bars) to enhance cross stability and increase the open area of
the conveyor belt. |
 |
Trackmatic GKD Trackmatic
is a very specialized, self-guiding single-twisted conveyor belt.
Please see our specific Trackmatic product information. |

Lightweight
Trackmatic GKD’s
Lightweight Trackmatic is an advanced Trackmatic, |
GKD is a world leader in seaming technologies with the philosophy 'Each
belt is only as strong as its seam'. |
All
GKD seams are strong and flexible with little or non-marking characteristics
and are an integral part of the belt itself. GKD’s most common seams include Pin Seam, Soldered Seam, Welded Seam, Endless Woven Seam and a Hook Seam. |
 |
 |
 |
Belt Edges Belt edges are secured to prevent unravelling, which can cause belt and or conveyor damage. Typical GKD edge treatments include Straight Selvedge Edge, Welded Edges, Coated Edges, and Brushed Edges etc... |
 |
Final Treatment |  |
In order to achieve absolute belt flatness, uniformity and to relieve stresses induced by weaving, GKD weave Metal Woven Process Belts up to 8 meters wide which are then stretched and flattened on their state of the art machines. |
