Flexible Rod (Turn) belts are designed, primarily, for multi-tier spiral conveyors commonly used in the food industry. With the ability to side flex, the belt can be used for conveyors arranged to go around obstacles.

Whether used on spiral or straight conveyors, the belt is particularly suitable for cooking, cooling or freezing products such as bread, pastry, vegetables, potatoes, fish and meat. It can also be used for blanching vegetables, proofing dough, drying, baking or pasteurising.

Flexible Rod belt is constructed of cross rods, with collapsing links each side, usually with a pitch of 19.05 mm or 27.43 mm. For improved product support, the rods may be overlaid with a spiral mesh. Belts are available with alternative configurations, to provide smaller turning radii, or with features such as side guards.
