Airflow, Release, and Durability in One Belt
Fabritex open mesh belts are made from PTFE, silicone-coated fiberglass, and Kevlar. The open weave lets air circulate and volatiles escape, which makes them ideal for drying, curing, and bonding.
We build to your width, opening size, seam, and tracking needs, including replacements for OEM dryers, even if the original manufacturer is no longer in business.

Open Mesh Belt Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a standard and anti-static mesh belt?
An anti-static belt has an additive in the coating that helps prevent static electricity from building up. This is essential in applications where static can affect the product.
What's the maximum width of a PTFE open mesh belt?
We can provide belts up to 4,000 mm wide. Call or email us with your needs and what you’re producing so we can build the right belt.
How do I measure for a replacement dryer belt?
Roll the belt out and measure its full length, then the width. Let us know if it has tracking on the sides, which seam you prefer, and your opening size. 4×4 and 2×2 are common, but we can match your specific needs and help you build a better belt.
Can open mesh belts be used for food dehydrating?
Yes, through your specific OEM machine. We can provide PTFE belts to replace your existing line even if the OEM has gone out of business.
