RETAINING EDGES
To contain a depth of material or to handle products which might roll off a belt, retaining edges may be specified. Since ILDONG mesh belts are driven on straight faced pulleys, troughing of the belt is not usually pracical. Retaining edges may be extensions or modifications of the belt fabric, or may consist of guard plates attached to the belt.
In selecting retaining edges with portions of the fabric turned up, careful consi-deration must be given to the drum size. Since the flaring of the fabric edges is limited, larger diameter drums are normally required.
When a solid retaining edge is necessary, as when material lies relatively deep on the belt, guard plate edges are used. Single Guard Plate Edges will permit a reverse bend as the belt travels around the pulley. The Stabilized Guard Plate Edges provides additional strength where a reverse bend is not required, and is primarily considered for high temperature applications.

RETAINING EDGES
Woven wire conveyor belts will move products on an incline of ten to twenty degrees, depending upon the load being carried. If the angle of inclination is greater than the maximum incline for the particular product, flights must be used on the belt.
The design and height of the flights depend uponthe product being conveyed. Flights are also used to carry material through liquids, in washing and cooking operations.
To septarate products of different sizes, or several products which are being processed on the same belt, dividers are used.
