Belt Edging Types & Tracking Options

Belt Edge Reinforcement Types

Belt edge reinforcement is crucial for extending the life of the belt, preventing fraying, and ensuring structural integrity. Different materials are used to reinforce belt edges, each providing unique benefits based on the application.

PTFE Film

• A thin, flexible edge reinforcement that enhances chemical and heat resistance
• Ideal for applications requiring non-stick properties
• Provides excellent durability against wear and tear

PTFE Glass

• A stronger and more rigid reinforcement compared to PTFE film
• Offers superior dimensional stability and resistance to high temperatures
• Commonly used in conveyor systems handling high heat or abrasive materials

PTFE Kevlar

• A high-strength edge reinforcement offering exceptional durability
• Best suited for heavy-duty applications where high tensile strength is required
• Resistant to extreme temperatures and harsh operating conditions

Belt Tracking Options

Tracking options help maintain proper belt alignment, ensuring efficient operation and preventing misalignment issues.

Silicone or Kevlar Tracking Cord

• Silicone tracking cord provides flexibility and slip resistance
• Kevlar tracking cord offers high strength and resistance to wear
• These cords are embedded in the belt's surface to guide and stabilize tracking, reducing the risk of belt deviation

Button Guide

• Button guides are small, evenly spaced protrusions on the belt surface
• They interact with guiding grooves in the conveyor system to ensure accurate belt positioning
• Ideal for applications requiring precise alignment
