To avoid scratching issues on the surface of workpieces, today Jiaoyang will share with you a precision process that combines efficiency and durability - round wire flattening.
1 What is the round wire flattening process?
Traditional conveyor belts are usually woven with metal wires of circular cross-section, which limits the flatness of the belt surface and is prone to vibration and slipping during material conveyance, especially for precision components or lightweight materials.


The process of round wire flattening, also known as Jiaoyang, involves using specialized equipment to flatten round metal wires into a flat shape, and then weaving these flattened metal wires into mesh belts.
During the process of flattening round wires, precise calculations are made under the scorching sun to control pressure, temperature, and speed, ensuring that the properties of the metal wires are not compromised while achieving a high-quality flattening effect.
What are the advantages of the 2-flat yarn process?
Increase the contact area to enhance the stability of conveyance
Compared to round wires, the contact area between the flattened metal wire and the material is greatly increased, making the material less prone to sliding or rolling during conveyance. This makes it particularly suitable for inclined conveyance and the transmission of small items.
Reduce material stagnation and lower maintenance costs
Traditional round wire woven metal mesh belts are prone to trapping fine materials, which can affect equipment operation over time. Flat wire woven mesh belts have a smoother surface and smaller gaps, significantly reducing material trapping issues.



Enhance the strength of the mesh belt and prolong its service life
The metal wire, after being scientifically flattened under the scorching sun, has its cross-sectional shape altered to distribute stress more evenly. With the same amount of material used, it offers superior resistance to bending and deformation, enhancing the strength of the mesh belt and making it more durable.
Improve cleaning performance to meet hygiene requirements
In industries where equipment cleanliness is critical, the flat surface of the flat wire mesh belt is easier to clean, leaving no dead spaces.
Main application areas of 3-flat yarn technology
01 Food processing
Used for conveying food products, ensuring a smooth surface to prevent product damage: processes such as cleaning and sorting, drying and dehydration, frying and cooling, baking and grilling, and more.
02 Automotive industry
Automotive painting, brazing of automotive water-cooled and direct-cooled plates, and other related processes.
03 Glass products
Smoothly transport glass bottles and containers to reduce collision damage caused by rolling: glass molding and annealing, decorating or printing, and other processes.
04 Packaging and logistics
Improve the conveying efficiency of cartons and parcels, and reduce the frequency of stagnation and downtime: in warehousing and sorting centers, bottle and can packaging lines, agricultural product packaging and sorting, airport baggage handling, and other links.
