Load gripping rib pattern
The ribs of Xtra-Grip belting are 1/4" high chevrons that increase the
permissible angle of incline by 5 degrees or more. Xtra-Grip works
especially well with materials that have a high water content where slipping
of the load on the belt might otherwise occur. The staggered Chevron design,
molded into the top cover, can be run in either direction.
Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance
Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and then recover
their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and
resist tearing for long-lasting durability and a lower cost-per-ton conveyed.
High ultimate strength
Xtra-Grip belts withstand severe tension spikes at start-up, retain
mechanical fasteners and withstand continuous flexing around pulleys.
This higher ultimate strength makes a critical difference in abusive operating
conditions.
Reduced stretch
The combination of fabric design and dip process provides lower elasticity and
permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and
reduces the number of splices at break-in. Contact your local GTM to calculate
permanent and elastic elongation requirements for your specific systems.
Standard bias step splices
A quick and effective technique, step splices greatly reduce downtime and are
recognized throughout the industry as the standard. The vulcanized splice in
Xtra-Grip retains 100% of belt tension rating during running conditions.

Excellent fastener holding retention
High strength fill cords enhance mechanical fastener holding ability and resist
fastener pull-out for more reliable performance and increased uptime.
Variety of cover compounds
Protect your product with the proper compound and cover gauge for the
application. Xtra-Grip conveyor belting can be customized to fit your application.
