High Tension Capabilities
Flexsteel belts handle the most demanding applications. We continue to lead
the industry in designing the strongest belts to meet the growing demand for
long overland systems.
Limited Take-up Travel
Flexsteel belts elongate a maximum of 0.25% at rated tension. This allows
lower cost take-up systems on many applications, and makes Flexsteel the
preferred choice for long overland and short stacker/reclaiming systems,
where minimum elongation is critical.
Life-long Splices
Our proven splicing methods, validated on our Two-Pulley Splice Tester,
result in dynamic splice efficiencies in excess of the 50% rating defined in DIN
22110
Part 3. With proper technique, splices on Flexsteel belts should last the
life of the belt. And when your belt is expected to last 20 years, that’s
a long time.
High Impact Resistance
Our advanced cover compounds and our insulation gum’s superior adhesion
combine to provide the impact, tear, and abuse resistance your applications
demand.
Superior Troughing Characteristics
Because Flexsteel belts are not interwoven in the transverse direction, they offer
superior troughability. Even the highest strength Flexsteel belts on
steep angle idlers will trough perfectly, leading to easy belt training and
full load capacity.
Fewer Transfer Points
Flexsteel’s high-tension capabilities permit extremely long centers,
exceptionally high lifts, and multiple horizontal curves. This allows the
designer to reduce the number of transfer points to minimize a major source
of maintenance headaches and downtime.
