Mesh-Top Belt Conveyor (MTC)

The Innoveyance Mesh-Top Belt Conveyor (MTC) uses a durable steel mesh belt to grip and carry corrugated bundles, sheets, and loads — including up inclines and across operator crossings where smooth belts slip. The MTC is a backbone conveyor in high-speed box plants, prized for traction, longevity, and forgiving handling of irregular product.

Traction that smooth belts can’t match

A woven steel mesh surface bites into bundle bottoms, so product climbs inclines and holds position on transfers without sliding. That traction makes the MTC the standard choice for elevating bundles between floor levels, feeding stackers, and bridging operator walkways where a flat belt would let loads drift.

Durable in a dusty, high-cycle environment

The steel mesh belt shrugs off corrugated dust, debris, and constant duty that wears out fabric belts. Open construction sheds scrap and resists clogging, while heavy welded frames and proven drives keep the line running shift after shift.

Integrates across the box-plant floor

The MTC pairs naturally with Innoveyance accumulation, transfers, and the Mesh-Top Belt Safety Operator Crossing System for a continuous, US-engineered material-handling line. Every system is engineered, built, and supported in the United States, so lead times, customization, and service stay close to your plant — not an ocean away.

The Mesh-Top Belt Conveyor (MTC) uses close-radius transitions to minimize the gap and increase load stability when moving from standard roller conveyor. It handles micro-flute material with even down-warp. The drive is direct-mounted to the center drive shaft and located outboard for access, and a transition plate is used when positioning one mesh-belt conveyor to another.

Features

Less Sheet Walk: Increased load stability reduces bottom-sheet damage for better load quality into finishing machines.
Reversible Center Drive: Allows recirculation of loads for quick order changes and order retrieval from the WIP line, reducing manual handling.
Low Maintenance: Maintenance-free, grease-packed drivetrain.
Safety: Guarding on all moving parts and radius corners; belt has a closed surface with a fully flush edge.
Adjustable Height: Top-of-belt height adjusts from 12ʺ to 15ʺ to fit existing production lines.
Homogeneous Product: Common components reduce the spare-parts list.
Variable Frequency Drive: Variable speeds for sheet lines, faster corrugator discharge, and WIP lines.

FAQs

Q: What is a mesh-top belt conveyor used for?

A: A mesh-top belt (MTC) conveyor uses a steel mesh belt to grip and carry corrugated bundles, sheets, and irregular loads — especially on inclines, transfers, and operator crossings where smooth belts would let product slip.

Q: Why choose a steel mesh belt over a fabric belt?

A: Steel mesh provides superior traction for inclines, sheds corrugated dust and scrap instead of clogging, and lasts far longer under the high-cycle duty of a box plant.

Q: Can the MTC be used on inclines?

A: Yes. The mesh surface grips bundle bottoms so product climbs inclines reliably, making the MTC ideal for elevating loads between levels or feeding stackers.

Q: Is it built in the USA?

A: Yes. Innoveyance engineers, manufactures, and services the Mesh-Top Belt Conveyor in the United States.
