PART OF THE
WIDE SPIRAL CONVEYOR BELT WITH CHAINS
A widely used extension of the traditional BS-KK is the wide-spiral belt with chains. A pin is inserted around a certain number of stitches in the wide spiral wire with leading edges. A hollow bolt (BS-HK) or fixed bolt chain (BS-VK) is connected to both sides of the pin. This chain enables drive and steering by means of sprockets. This way the belt does not have to be kept permanently under a certain pre-tension. These belts therefore have their applications in oily, wet , cooling or freezing applications. The chain to be steered also offers a solution in installations with an unfavorable length-to-width ratio. Due to the presence of a chain with cross bars, this belt is easy to addapt with side guards and/or (robust) flights. Many combinations are possible from fine to coarse spirals (small and large diameters) with small and large chains.
Common chains are the 3/8”, ½’’, ¾”, 1”, 1¼”,1½’’ en 2” in the various ISO, ASA and DIN versions.
​
Wide spiral belts with chains are generally applicable. Some combinations of belt and chain have their own specific application. Below are 2 examples.
This ladder belt with chains is provided with a spiral mat on both sides that is used to support a paper filter.
​
The 'hinged' spiral mats allow the belt to run somewhat in a trough.
​
The paper filter support belt also has a variant where the ladder belt is replaced by a honeycomb belt or a ladder belt with a spiral filling between the rods in the middle of the belt.

This fine mesh belt with 2” hollow bolt roller chain is often used in bottle washing and rinsing installations.
​
This filter belt removes the labels from the rinsing and washing water.
