You Now Have A New Option!

The Furnace Belt Company is Proud to Introduce Balance Extra Flat (BEF) Weave

When sourcing solutions for your new High Temperature Woven Steel Conveyor Belting – it pays to choose the new Balanced Extra Flat (BEF) Weave over your normal Balanced (B), Double Balanced (DB) or any other Weave.

What is BEF?
Balanced Extra Flat Weave is simply the flattest Balanced Weave available today. The BEF thickness is based upon two (2) Spiral Wire Diameter and one (1) Cross Rod Wire Diameter - and has just a hair of clearance to allow the Mesh to be properly assembled.

Why use BEF?
The benefits are incredible! The BEF does not STRETCH, or CAMBER, anywhere near the amount that you’d see with Standard Weave high temperature applications. There are huge savings to be found in reduced MAINTENANCE costs – with LESS need for shortening a stretched belt and LESS equipment downtime to perform those painful, but necessary, maintenance activities. More good news! The BEF weave also provides a more uniform surface, right from the start.

Where Should BEF be used?
As this exciting new manufacturing technique is developing, The Furnace Belt Company Limited has concentrated on the High Temperature, Heavy Duty applications – the very applications where low cost maintenance benefits would be most appreciated. Up to this point, this has included Sintering and Brazing Operations but going forward, BEF will be applied to many more applications where we’ll see the benefits of BEF continue to grow.
