• agriculture – grain, beet, potatoes, fertilisers

• food industry, sugar factories and mills

• ports, silos and bulk storage

• mineral wool, glass and ceramics industry

• logistics and packaging

Belt construction

The belt consists of a load-bearing carcass of synthetic fabric plies with a top and bottom rubber cover.

• EP carcass – polyester (warp) and polyamide (weft) plies; strong, low elongation, resistant to moisture and rot.

• Number of plies – usually 2 to 4, depending on the load.

• Rubber covers – thicker top (carrying) cover, thinner bottom cover.

• Edges – cut or moulded rubber edges.

How to read the belt designation – example EP 400/3 4+2 Y

• EP – fabric type (polyester/polyamide)

• 400 – breaking strength of the belt in N/mm of width

• /3 – number of plies

• 4+2 – top and bottom cover thickness in mm

• Y – rubber cover grade

Cover grades

• N – lighter operating conditions

• Y – general purpose, normally abrasive materials

• X – heavy duty – impact, coarse and sharp material

• W – highly abrasive materials

We supply belts in all cover grades. For extremely abrasive and sharp material (glass, scrap metal, FGD gypsum) we also supply belts with a specially resistant cover.

Abrasion-resistant belts operate from –20 to +80 °C. For hotter materials, heat-resistant belts are used. Heat-resistant belts →

Constructions

We offer belts from lighter two-ply to heavy four-ply constructions, with thinner or thicker covers – according to load and material.

Antistatic and self-extinguishing versions for use in ATEX zones (explosion-hazard areas) are available on request.

Sizes and availability

• We keep the most common sizes in stock and source the rest at short notice.

• On request: widths 400 – 2000 mm (wider on enquiry), strengths from EP 200 to EP 1000 and higher, all cover grades and thicknesses.

• We cut belts to length, to the required length and width.

Installation and splicing

We deliver and install the belt on site. We make all types of splices – hot vulcanising (with a press), cold vulcanising (bonding) and mechanical fasteners – depending on the belt and operating conditions. Conveyor belt vulcanising and splicing →

How to request a quote

Send us:

• belt width and length (or pulley centre distance)

• designation of the existing belt (usually printed on the belt)

• type of material and approximate temperature

• whether installation / splicing is required

FAQ

Which belt for a quarry?

For most applications EP 400/3 4+2 Y is sufficient. For coarse, sharp material or high drop heights, a thicker top cover or grade X is recommended.

Can I buy just a few metres?

Yes, we cut belts to length.

What is the delivery time?

Sizes in stock are available immediately; the rest we source at short notice.

Do you also splice belts?

Yes – all types of splices: hot and cold vulcanising and mechanical fasteners, on site and in our workshop.
