19 Features and benefits
Rubber coated belts
Rubber coated belts (EPDM)
The rubber (ethylene-propylene-terpolymer) coated belts
ensure excellent grip and abrasion resistance. A superior
belt performance is ensured where high friction and
damping features are decisive. Rubber coated belts are
suitable for inclined, declined and horizontal conveying,
as well as for gapping, metering, singulation and
acceleration applications.
Features
• High grip rubber
(EPDM)
• Incline/decline
