The SteelFlex belt is equipped with a unique steel cord carcass consisting of one layer of high elongation cords in warp direction and one or two weft high elongation or regular cords in weft direction (SteelFlexIW, SteelFlexSW-HE, SteelFlexISW-RE)
The most suitable construction should be used depending on each application. F. e the SteelFlex belt with insertion of:
weft cords of high breaking elongation, is protecting the belt in enormous extent against ripping and impact shocks, the tear strength and impact resistance of the belt is increased
warp cords of high elongation have a unique ability to replace textile belts without significant modifications of the conveyor system
regular weft cords transforms the SteelFlex belt to a cross rigid belt used in elevator belt applications. In cases of bucket elevator applications belts can be delivered with cable free zones according customer’s requirement
