Eye-Flex® is Wire Belt’s most rugged and versatile heavy duty, modular conveyor belt, engineered for extreme loads, harsh conditions, and high-impact environments. Built from stainless steel with a flat, open mesh design, Eye-Flex® offers exceptional strength and durability while remaining easy to clean and maintain. It’s trusted across industries where belt performance can’t be compromised.
With nearly limitless configuration options, Eye-Flex® adapts to your specific application, from food-grade environments to industrial ovens, freezers, and product washers. Whether you’re installing new equipment or replacing a worn belt, Eye-Flex® provides reliable performance and long service life.

Eye-Flex® has almost limitless options and its configurations are custom designed to meet your requirements. For product orientation, Eye-Flex® offers flights and side guards to meet all product handling needs. Additionally, Eye-Flex® is available with multiple drive options including cage rollers, positive drive sprockets, and an optional chain edge drive for enhanced tracking and reliability.
Eye-Flex’s high strength, robustness and open, flat carrying surface provide the answer to your heavy duty conveyor belt requirements.
Many elements of Eye-Flex® belt can be customized to suit each individual application, such as gap width and fixing method:
Eye-Flex® has a standard construction based on a straight modular form. It is designed and built without spacers or perpendicularly welded under wires. This allows excellent flow-through in applications where no cross-support is required. Eye-Flex® is often used in food processing for its flat conveying surface, open mesh configuration, and ease of cleaning. Eye-Flex® without spacers is also easily repaired with minimal cost.
Eye-Flex® belting with underwelded wire spacing should be considered on applications where hygiene and sanitation are critical. The underwelded wire eliminates the potential bacteria traps under the spacers, springs, rings, and sleeves. This configuration makes cleaning and sanitation easy and more efficient.
This versatile variation of Eye-Flex® uses rings between the wires to increase the belt gap. By increasing the belt gap, more air will circulate around the bottom of the product. Increasing the product exposure to this additional air flow improves the efficiency of your process.
Springs help create a more dimensionally stable belt in heating or freezing applications. These belts are more dimensionally stable because the wires are able to move on the cross rod. Springs also expose a large proportion of the connecting rod for improved cleaning and sanitizing.
At Wire Belt we undertook a number of capital projects in the lead up to the Olympics, but there is none more unusual than the Eye-Flex® belt being used to clear the waterways around the Olympic Park. Wire Belts’ involvement with this project dates back to November 2006. The Canal and River Trust already had a weed clearing boat, and fundamental to its’ operation was the use of Eye-Flex type wire link belting.
In February 2007, the Canal and River Trust visited Wire Belt to discuss damage and maintenance problems that they were experiencing with belting from their existing supplier. Wire Belts’ John Warters was able to offer the solutions.
By changing its’ construction, the belt was made more resilient to damage and by re-engineering the boat, to use multiple narrow belts, utilization was improved. From an original belt life of two years the new belt, with about 20% repair and replacement, lasted for five years.
On May 23, 2012 the Canal and River Trust, with funding from the Environment Agency, launched two new weed boats that will service London’s waterways during the Olympics and beyond. The rivers and canals in East London formed a backdrop to the London 2012 Games, and keeping them clean and weed-free was more important than ever.
The belts for the new boat were supplied from Wire Belts’ factory, in Northern Germany, directly to the German boat builder.
Over 70 million dollars were invested in regenerating East London’s waterways, creating a wonderful legacy that stretches far beyond the summer of 2012. Rivers and canals are a prominent feature of the Olympic park.
Eye-Flex® belting from Wire Belt, along with Flat-Flex® belting for less demanding situations, is used in a number of weed and debris applications. These include removing leaves from water channels at fish farms and in protecting small-scale hydro-electric generation installation from debris.

Built for strength. Eye-Flex® belts feature a robust modular design capable of handling high loads with minimal stretch or deflection. Each belt is custom designed to meet your process, product, and environment.
Flexible configurations. Choose from multiple drive options including cage rollers, sprockets, or chain edge for improved belt tracking and tension. Add flights, side guards, or chain links to handle orientation, containment, or spacing needs.
Clean, open design. The flat wire surface and open construction allow excellent flow-through for air, water, or product, reducing debris buildup and simplifying sanitation.
Proven reliability. From heating to freezing to heavy product transport, Eye-Flex® performs in tough applications where other belts can’t.
Eye-Flex® can be built without spacers to provide maximum product support.The clean, straight modular form eliminates welded cross-supports, making it easier to clean and repair. This version is widely used in food processing due to its sanitary design and flat carrying surface.
Designed for food contact applications, this configuration removes springs, sleeves, and rings that could trap debris. The underwelded wire layout supports sanitation protocols, allowing easier, more effective cleaning in environments where contamination must be minimized.
Every Eye-Flex® belt is engineered to order. Our team works closely with you to ensure your belt design meets your throughput, sanitation, and layout needs.
