Outstanding impact and cutting resistance: a unique and unrivalled steel carcass construction
The Metalcord belt features a special structure, boasting a carcass with three layers (1 warp, 2 wefts), resistant to the toughest tear and cut issues (100% metal carcass).
- Carcass construction of three layers of rubber embedded cords
- Two different constructions are available:
- Metalcord belts with M-cords in the warp direction offer the highest elasticity for applications with tight curves or small pulley diameters
- Metalcord belts with E-cords in the warp direction provide low elongation for applications with long centre distances
- Compliant with ISO 15236
- Excellent cord/rubber adhesion even under tough working conditions
- Exceptional resistance to repeated impact
- Outstanding resistance to penetration limiting longitudinal cuts and tears
- Weft cords included in the carcass increase service life since the full cover thickness can be used
- The option to use mechanical fasteners for emergency situations and fast repairs
- The Metalcord construction with the highly elastic M warp cords (4x7 design) offers a low elastic modulus and strong impact resistance. It combines the advantages of steel carcasses with the superior impact resistance of textile belts and is particularly suitable for:
- Installations with repeated impacts and a high risk of cuts and tears
- Small pulley diameters
- Very small radii for horizontal and vertical curves
- The option to use crowned pulleys for centring on short conveyors
- Replacing textile belts by steel carcass constructions without any significant change in the conveyor system
