Flame Resistance
Underground coal belts require additional flame resistance and flame
propagation cover properties. Our SHIELD
™
compound exceeds MSHA’s part
14,
B.E.L.T. flame resistance and flame propagation requirements while also
providing low smoke toxicity and density safety characteristics as well as
outstanding abrasion resistance. We also offer standard ARMA and ARMA II
compound for ASTM D378 Part 13.2 flame resistance. ARMA II can also be
used where superior abrasion resistance is required.
Excellent Adhesion
The adhesion values of Glide Plus belting help reduce edge separation and
prolong splice life, thereby preventing premature belt failure. High levels of
adhesion help to prevent idler junction failure by providing increased load
support over the idler junction gap. And by reducing the risk of delamination,
the belt’s high adhesion values help extend belt life.
Rip Resistance
Often times, scrap metal and debris become lodged in the conveyor belt
structure. When this happens, equipment damage, material spillage and even
long cuts in the belt can occur. The double-faced twill weave design found in
all Glide Plus belting helps dislodge and expel foreign objects from the system,
while keeping belt rips confined to a small area.
Transverse Tear
Thanks to the double-faced twill weave design of Glide Plus belts, belt tears
and material punctures are kept to a minimum. Should they occur, however,
the belt’s unique twill weave design keeps them contained to help maintain
your conveyor system’s productivity.
Increased Dynamic Flexibility
Glide Plus belt customers enjoy significant pulley cost savings, since smaller
pulleys may be utilized. And smaller pulleys allow you to conserve space
in your underground applications without sacrificing belt performance. In
addition, the cabled warp cord design of the Glide Plus belt provides
extended splice life by offering superior resistance to mechanical and
vulcanized splice fatigue.
Vulcanized Splice
Vulcanized splices can provide increased longevity and integrity when
operating under normal conditions up to 100% of belts rated tension, resulting
in minimum downtime.
Fastener Retention
The unique twill weave design enhances fastener holding ability and helps
to expel any foreign objects that may penetrate the belt.
