High ultimate strength
Pathfinder is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions. The tensile
force required to break a 48" Pathfinder 330 PIW belt is 158,400 pounds.
Oil resistant covers
Pathfinder Supreme covers provide superior oil resistance to the potentially
damaging effects of crushed and whole soybeans, oily grains and mineral oil
dust suppressant sprays.
Static conductive, low electrical resistance, flame resistance
Pathfinder belts offer an exceptionally low electrical resistance of one
megohm or less, far below Federal OSHA and ISO standard of 300 megohms.
Internal testing ensures that belts meet or exceed the US MSHA/RMA 30
CFR 18.65 requirement for flame resistance.
Excellent bolt holding capabilities
High strength nylon fill cords provide excellent resistance to bolt pull-out.
Excellent bolt holding ability enables the Pathfinder carcass to securely hold
the buckets in elevator leg service.
Excellent adhesion values
Oil resistant skim coats, combined with our fabric treatment process, provide
excellent adhesion values. Vulcanized splice life is maximized and edge
damaging due to contact with conveyor structure is minimized.
Low belt elongation
Low belt elongation increases productivity and minimizes downtime spent
re-splicing grain belting. Permanent elongation averages 0.8% at 100%
of rated operating tension.
Flexible crimped warp fabric design
Crimped warp design allows the outer ply to lengthen around small pulleys
without interfering with the integrity of the warp cords. This flexibility
contributes to longer splice life.
