Belting
Taconic open mesh belting is engineered for conveyor applications requiring airflow, heat transfer, drying efficiency, and high-temperature release performance.
Available in PTFE coated fiberglass, PTFE coated Kevlar®, and Kevlar® glass constructions, open mesh belts allow air to move through the belt while supporting continuous conveying.
Open mesh belts are used in drying, curing, textile processing, food processing, screen printing, packaging, bonding, and other processes where ventilation and release are required.

Belting FAQ
Common questions about
open mesh belting.
What is open mesh belting used for?
Open mesh belting is used for drying, curing, food processing, textile processing, screen printing, packaging, bonding, and applications requiring airflow through the belt.
Why use Kevlar® open mesh belting?
Kevlar® reinforced open mesh belting provides additional strength and durability for high-tension or demanding conveyor applications.
How is open mesh belting different from solid PTFE belting?
Open mesh belting allows airflow through the belt, while solid PTFE belting provides a continuous coated release surface.
