High transverse tear strength
The dual layer twill fabric design enables high transverse tear strength. This minimizes tears that
result from material punctures as well as edge tears from misaligned belts.
Superior rip resistance
Scrap metal or debris often get “hung up” in the structure of the conveyor, causing equipment
damage and slits or cuts in long sections of the belt. Our fabric design helps dislodge and expel
foreign objects and contains rips to a small area.
Enhanced mechanical fastener pull-out resistance
Rigorous dynamic and static testing means that Fortress XP™ belts will provide superior
mechanical fastener retention as compared with multi-ply and straight-warp constructions.
Vulcanized Finger Splice
A full carcass finger vulcanized splice is recommended for ContiTech Fortress XP™ belting. This
splice method takes advantage of the superior strength properties of the Fortress XP™ carcass
to offer 100% of the rated belt tension.

Fortress XP™
Features & Benefits
Innovative fabric weave
The new dual layer twill fabric gives Fortress XP™ improved load bearing and impact resistance.
Exceptional impact resistance
Fortress XP™ has industry-leading impact resistance. Loading point impact damage can be a
major
cause of belt failure. Design engineers used an enhanced Dynamic Impact Tester to simulate
loading impact force and its effects on belting.
