FLEXOWELL®
belt description
Basebelt (cross-rigid): One of the main advantages of the FLEXOWELL® belt is that only cross rigid base belts can be deflected from the horizontal to an incline or vertical and back again without bowing or sagging (e. g. S-conveyors). These deflection points as well as the belt return on free lateral space by stub idlers definitely requires the cross-rigidity of the base belt.
This development led to the special cross-rigid FLEXOWELL® base belts.
The cross-rigidity is achieved by the fabric construction, a special belt composition and by a special production procedure which we have developed. For a tensile of >1000 N/mm steelcord belts with a special cross-rigid belt composition must be used.
This special base belt is always part of a FLEXOWELL® belt and represents a complete technical system together with the corrugated sidewalls and cleats. In order to grant optimal solutions for each purpose there are different qualities; black standard, oil-resistant, heat-resistant and flame resistant.
Sidewall: The sidewalls made of solid vulcanized rubber are manufactured in heights of 40 mm to 100 mm. Sidewalls with heights of 120 mm to 630 mm are made of fabric reinforced vulcanized rubber. The sidewalls listed are also available in qualities black standard, oil resistant, heat and flame resistant.
Cleats: The special cleats made of solid vulcanized rubber are manufactured in heights of 20 mm to 600 mm. Cleats reinforced with fabric can be bolted to the sidewall. Cleat profiles with heights of 280 mm to 600 mm are available for special applications. The cleat base is bonded to the base belt and the cleat fits into the corrugations which are bolted to sidewall and cleat bases.
