The HO honey comb belt is a well known traditional conveyor belt. The belt has been designed for a
great many straight applications, constructions and process conditions.
The HO honey comb belt is constructed of cross rods and a flat metal strip. At the sides of the belt
the cross rods have a welded ring (welded edges). In a number of dimensions it is possible to give
the sides of the belt a clinged edge. There are a number of predefined belt executions with different
pitches and material dimensions. The belt can also be provided with side plates or flights. The belt
width is determined by the belt specification and the number of odd spaces. The belt width can be
chosen from ca. 50 mm until 3500 mm.
The HO honey comb belt is positively driven by sprockets, and can be used at conveyor speeds of
less than 1 metre per minute to about 25 metres per minute, which are considered normal speeds.
Speeds above 25 metres per minute are considered to be high speeds and can affect the life of the
belt. The construction of the conveyor system and the process conditions are also important
considerations.
HO honey comb belts are used in production processes with temperatures of -30ºC up to +400ºC
in food and other industries.
The HO honey comb belt needs minimal maintenance and will have a working life of many years,
if used well. The belt is standard made of steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel AISI 304 and
AISI 316.
HO honey comb belts are used in, for example:
-cooling systems -drying systems -bread production systems
-washing systems -product handling systems -waste handling systems
-sorting systems -sieving systems

Esfo Conveyor Belts HO Honey Comb Belt (Driving and support)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A HO honey comb belt in a straight conveyor
system is positively driven. Toothed sprockets
prevent the belt from slipping. Sprockets can
be executed in steel, stainless steel and
plastic. The number of teeth (diameter) is free
to choose.
It is to be advised to mount the sprockets every
150 mm on the driving and returning shaft.
Consequently, there is no need to have the belt
set up with a certain tension. In normal use, a
reverse shaft adjustable in the belt’s running
direction is enough to handle a possible
elongation of the belt in the course of time.
In case of longer belts a special section has
to be installed to effect elongation of the belt
(due to different temperatures and product load).
The driving gear must be positioned in such a way that the loaded part, usually the upper part, is
pulled off the belt. A pushing driving gear must be avoided. Supporting the upper part usually is
effected by wearing profiles attached lengthways or in fishbone execution underneath the belt.
Subject to the production process, synthetic materials such as PA, POM, HMPE, is advisable
to support the belt. The support profiles are placed at distances of about 150 to 300 mm,
depending on the belt’s load, belt weight and production process. The returning part of the belt
can be supported by rollers instead of strips
