Wirebelt introduces patented C-CureEdge, unique open-mesh, stainless steel wire belting, specially designed to increase productivity and enhance safety in the production environment. C-CureEdge’s closed loop ends offer faster installation and repair time while continuously minimizing the risk of accidents caused by sharp open ends. Wirebelt’s cost-effective C-CureEdge belts reduce downtime by minimizing conveyor-to-conveyor snags and tangling during shipping, storage, installation, repair, and day-to-day operation. The patented design’s extra measure of flexibility enhances belt life by decreasing individual strand stress on the outside edge of the belt and diminishing conveyor damage caused by loop end irregularities.
