Flexible conveyor belt LW series

SBRPTFErubber

Overview
Ammeraal Beltech lightweight rubber belts (LW Product Range) are available in unsupported and fabric-inserted constructions across multiple thicknesses. The range addresses conveying needs where low belt weight and specific material properties (abrasion, oil/chemical resistance, release, grip) are required.
