Ladder Conveyor Belt is a simple but effective style of conveyor belt, generally used belt for common processes and common product loads. Its open design provides efficient operation with minimum maintenance as well as facilitating easy and thorough cleaning. Its lightweight and basic configuration make it a very economic and cost-effective style of belting for many different environments. The ladder belts are used in production processes with temperatures of -100ºC to +450ºC in food and other industries.
The Ladder belt with S-hooks run in straight applications but can also be executed as curved belts with a fixed inside radius. A belt variation with a tapered rod pitch assembly can be used in radial applications (90 and 180 degrees).
Ladder Conveyor Belt Advantages:
• Flat uniform surface for gentle product handling
• High tensile rods which resist permanent distortion and reduce down-time
• Positive drive to ensure there are no tracking issues
• Smooth edges for easy movement around radial bends
• Easy belt assembly and disassembly due to its simple open construction.
Belt Types
1.Ladder belt with S-shaped hooks
These belts run in straight applications but can also be executed as curved belts with a fixed inside radius, available in right hand (clockwise) or left hand (ant-clockwise) arrangement. Standard belts are supplied for either 90° or 180° conveyor angle of operation.
2.Ladder belt with U-shaped links
These belts can run in straight and curved applications, available in right hand (clockwise) or left hand (ant-clockwise) arrangement. Standard belts are supplied for either 90° or 180° conveyor angle of operation.
3.Ladder belt with chain links
These belts can be only running in straight applications.

NOTED:We can be able to manufacture the belts according to your material requirements.
Ladder belts are widely used in, as following:
● Cooling systems in for example bread & pastry industry.
● Belt in filtering installations
● Conveyor belt in installations for baking, frying, grilling, etc.
● When executed as a "batter-belt” (with bar links in order to strengthen and lateral chains)
● Washing systems
● Drying systems
