resilient to extreme temperatures.
Metal belts have a lower thermal
expansion coefficient, which enables
them to easily retain their shape in
high temperatures.
This extends the lifespan and
reliability of food-processing
equipment. Unlike plastic belts,
which may melt, warp, or break when
exposed to high and low fluctuations
in heat, metal belts are capable
of withstanding a sudden drop or
increase in temperature.
Metal conveyor belts have the
