1200 Series Plastic Modular Mesh Belt Metal Conveyor Systems

Plastic modular belts are typically made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acetal (POM), or polyamide (PA/nylon). PP offers excellent chemical resistance and is cost-effective for food processing. POM provides superior strength and wear resistance for heavy-duty applications. PA/nylon handles high temperatures well. We help you select the right material based on your operating temperature, load requirements, and hygiene standards.

Yes. Modular belts can be supplied in any length and width to match your specific conveyor layout. We offer various surface profiles: flat top, rough top, perforated, grooved, and cleated: plus optional accessories like side guards, flights, and rubber-top modules. Straight-running and side-flexing configurations are both available.

Maintenance is minimal. Modular plastic belts typically do not require daily upkeep. The open-link design allows water and cleaning agents to flow through easily for thorough washdown. For food-grade applications, smooth surfaces prevent bacterial buildup. Routine visual inspections for worn or damaged modules are recommended, along with periodic belt tension checks.

Yes. Our standard materials (PP, POM, PE, PA) comply with FDA regulations and EU directives. We can provide letters of assurance and compliance certificates upon request. The belts are designed with hygienic surfaces and open-grid options that meet the strict requirements of food processing, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary applications.

Lifespan typically ranges from 3 to 10 years depending on load, operating hours, and environmental conditions. With proper material selection and maintenance, plastic modular belts often outlast traditional fabric belts. Unlike metal, they won't corrode, and damaged sections can be replaced individually rather than replacing the entire belt to significantly extending overall service life and reducing total cost of ownership.
