Industrial Fryer Mesh Conveyor Belt in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for carrying snacks, chips, nuts and coated products through continuous industrial fryers on open stainless mesh belts that let oil circulate and drain. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
