Why Metal Belts?

Stainless steel conveyor belts offer advantages unmatched by traditional belt materials, especially in high-performance, high-precision environments. Our PureSteel® products are engineered to deliver superior strength, cleanliness and accuracy, making them a trusted choice in automation, medical manufacturing, semiconductor production and other demanding industries.

Accurate and Repeatable

It always comes down to the “why.” Below, we identify some of the top features and benefits of our PureSteel® products. Once you understand the advantages of stainless steel belts and conveyor systems, we expect your question will change from “why steel belts” to “why aren’t we using steel belts already?”

Cleanroom Compatible

PureSteel® metal belts do not require lubricants and don’t generate dust that would introduce foreign substances into cleanroom environments. Additionally, their sterilization can be performed in an autoclave.

No Lubrication

Unlike the links of a chain, a PureSteel® metal belt is a single element and, therefore, does not generate any component friction that requires lubrication. This reduces system maintenance, improves reliability and keeps conveyor systems clean.

Non-stretchable

Spring steels with a high modulus of elasticity making PureSteel® metal belts non-stretchable, unlike other belt types and chain. This makes metal belts ideal for high performance applications that require precision positioning.

Smooth Operation

The inherent strength and stability of PureSteel® metal belts provide precise, smooth motion free from the pulsation of chordal action —essential for applications requiring exact material placement.

Cleanliness

Unlike HTD or flat neoprene belts, metal belts do not generate particulate, making them ideal for food and pharmaceutical processing where hygiene standards are uncompromising.

Durable

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, PureSteel® belts resist extreme temperatures, corrosion and wear. Their durability ensures longevity and reduces maintenance downtime. Steel is also ideal in applications involving elevation change and temperature fluctuations.

No Static Buildup

PureSteel® metal belts are antistatic, allowing the dissipation of electrical charges. This makes them ideal in electronics manufacturing, such as the production of integrated circuits and surface mount devices.

Precise Construction

The edges of our PureSteel® metal belts are smooth and their dimensions are held to tight tolerances.
