PACKAGE HANDLING
We have a belt that can
help you get a better grip
on your business.
In every situation, it’s important to weigh
original cost against expected service
life to determine which belt will be the
most cost-effective. For these reasons,
HBD/Thermiod gives you an ample range
of fabrics, weights and textures.
Surface friction
requirements and
economics are the
biggest factors in belt
selection for package
handling.
For sharp inclines and
declines, specially-
designed gripping
surfaces are a must
to keep loads from
slipping. Even flat
applications put
specific demands on
a belt, depending on the amount of on-and-off
loading and the nature of material handled.
PACKAGE HANDLING BELTS
Caripack
®
, Slide-A-Pack
®
, Sheeting
and Sliptop
®
Belts.
These belts have good all-around properties
for horizontal handling. The rubber friction
surface helps keep even slippery packages
moving along at belt speed. The black
Caripack and tan Slide-A-Pack are good
general purpose rubber belts for slider bed
and live roller conveyors where there is no oil
present. The reddish-brown nitrile sheeting
belt is a good belt for those applications
where oil is present. The Sliptop belt is
manufactured with a treated nylon top ply to
provide for easy package release or transfer
from the belt. The tan nitrile compound gives
the Sliptop belt excellent oil resistance as well.
SPECIALTY PACKAGE HANDLING PRODUCTS
Pack-EZ S/Weave belts are approved

interwoven polyester fabric. Built tough,
these belts are designed to resist stretching
and fire. Pack-EZ special S/Weave fabric

GRIPTOP
®
INCLINE BELTS
The deep textured surface with raised rubber
peaks grips each package and carries it up
inclines as steep as 35°. Griptop belts are our
most popular line of incline belts. They are
available in black or non-marking tan rubber
for general service and reddish-brown nitrile
for applications where oil is present. Pure gum
rubber works best where abrasion, tearing or
gouging are problems with the general service
Griptop belts. For the most severe abrasion
applications choose blue or orange Griptop
carboxylated nitrile belts.
STEEP INCLINE BELTS
Our full line of molded impression top, steep
incline belts are ideal for carrying packages,
cases, cartons, luggage and many products
up inclines as steep as 45 degrees. The
steep incline belts are available in the
following three cover impressions: V-Cleat,
Diamond Incline and Ribflex
®
. These belts
are available in general service black rubber
compounds, and some are stocked in
non-marking tan or pure gum compounds.
Our V-Cleat belt is also available in an oil
resistant red/brown nitrile construction.
