Synthetic Belts

The coatings used on Synthetic Belts are called polymers and can be made of various materials which have influence on the suitability of the belt in a certain application.

Polymers can be separated into two different groups: thermoplastic or thermoset.

Synthetic Belts are produced using different materials, thicknesses, colours etc. Therefore each belt has different features such as high grip, non-fray or wear-resistance for example.

There are more usages for Synthetic Belts besides the normal A-to-B (horizontal) conveying of goods, where a specific belt is needed to get the job done.

Some examples:

• Curved conveying
• Troughed conveyors
• Inclined or declined conveying

Plain belt material is fabricated to customise the belt to your specifications, for example, cutting to the right length and width.

An important fabrication job is making the belt endless. Belts can be made endless by means of various splicing methods.
