Here is a quick introduction to belting:

Conveyor Belting

Light duty conveyor belting falls into several categories as follows:

POLYURETHANE – lightweight conveyor belting, stronger and more durable than other materials but very flexible. It has long been the number one choice for the food industry, easy to clean, it has the ability to adapt to small rollers found in this environment, colours include food safe white and blue.

PVC – is a multi-purpose, economic, widely used belting, used in many industries including packaging, printing and food. It is available in a variety of smooth and grip surfaces and many colours including white, green, black and blue.

SILICONE – coated belts have good release properties and retains high grip in dust free environments.

POLYPROPYLENE and POLYETHYLENE non-stick belts are also available, along with the COTTON and POLYESTER belts that are still used in the food industry.

All these belts can be joined at our premises or on site, either vulcanising or fastener fitting by our team of fitters using various methods and joints as specified.

Modular Belting

Plastic modular belting is available in Polypropylene, Polyethelyene and Acetal, open mesh or flat, this positive drive belting, easily assembled, with sprockets supplied as required, and steel and plastic chain belting, widely used in industry, straight and side flexing chain manufactured in various polymers.

Wire Belting

We only use belting from major manufacturers and can be vulcanised by ourselves or with equipment that can be supplied to the customer. More recently our quick bond belting has become more popular, available in standard and elasticated grades, special equipment required for joining these belts is available on request.

Folder Gluer Belts
