Question

Do you have any Literature available?
We have two types of publications. A full sample folder detailing the jointed covering range and a brochure with the jointed covered range overview.
|
|
| |
Do you have standard Price Lists?
Given the infinite combinations of belt type, cover type, thickness and fabrication this is not possible. We can however produce a price list specific to your demands. On this we can list all the information you need to identify any of the belts on your production line. For further details contact the Sales Department.

How do I know what cover type to choose?
In general terms, the harder the cover, the more abrasion resistance, with less grip on the product. Conversely, the softer cover will offer more grip but less abrasion resistance. The hardness of the cover depends a lot on the product being pulled. Is the present cover performing satisfactorily ? Do you need more grip ? Are your belts wearing out too quickly ? Answering these questions should help you choose the best cover type from our range or alternatively contact our Sales Department for advice.

How do I stop crushing damage to a delicate extrusion?
There are three possible ways:
-
Use a soft cellular material (Jointed Covers) that will “wrap” around the extrusion giving greater contact with the product. This will require less clamp pressure on the product, and in turn less product damage.
-
Use a Cushiontex® construction. This is a combination of a solid top cover and a cellular base. This again offers a “wrap” effect on the product and requires less clamping pressure. Additionally, this combination also offers greater abrasion resistance and longer belt life.
-
Use a profile in the belt covering. This can be machined into the top cover (Custom Fabrication) to precisely fit your product.

How do I work out the size of the belt on my equipment?
-
Identify what construction of belt it is i.e. Poly Vee, Timing, Flat etc (Base Belts)
-
For Poly Vee identify the length and rib pitch. (Poly Vee)
-
For Timing Belts count the teeth and ascertain the tooth pitch to calculate the length. Take care as some imperial and metric pitches are very similar. Eg L section 0.375” (9.525mm) is very close to T10 (10mm). To double check, measure over 10 pitches. This allows the differential to be seen more clearly.
-
For flat belts, measure the belt length in sections on a flat surface, marking it out as you go.
