BELTING CHARACTERISTICS

XT Rubber Conveyor Belting (conforms to SABS 1173-1977)

z From the early days of cotton duck plies, progress has been made in the manufacture of all-synthetic plies offering many
advantages.

z The range of strengths has been greatly increased, with improvements in the flexible structure. The modern multi-ply belt is
manufactured with a synthetic fibre carcass in a wide slab, then slit to width as required for individual orders.

z A wide range of belt specifications is available with current belt constructions having versatile applications.

z The standard XT belting (Grade N) incorporates covers suitable for the handling of most abrasive materials, having a blend of
natural and synthetic rubber.

Cut resistant XT Rubber Belting

z Grade M Belts have covers with high natural rubber content recommended for belts operating under extremely arduous conditions
where cutting and gouging of covers occurs.

Phoenix Heat Resistant Belting

z Phoenix Heat Resistant belting covers are styrene butadiene based and are recommended for belts handling materials with
temperatures up to 1200C.

Super Phoenix Heat Resistant Belting

z Super Phoenix Heat Resistant belts have chlorobutyl covers and are recommended for belts handling materials with temperatures
of up to 1700C.

Delta Hete Heat Resistant Belting

z Delta Hete heat resistant belting with EPDM synthetic rubber covers in a formulation developed to allow conveying materials of
temperatures up to 2000C.

Fire Resistant Belting (conforms to SABS 971-1980)

z Fire Resistant XT belting is manufactured with covers containing neoprene and multi-ply carcass constructions to meet the
stringent standards for safety in all underground mining industries and is therefore particularly suited to shaft applications.

Woodmaster

z This belt has been especially developed for the Timber Industry. The rubber has been compounded to provide resistance to oil and
resin, and is non-staining.

Rufftop Belting

z This is a range of rough top package belting, of two or three ply all-synthetic carcass belts with deep impression rubber covers.
The range is ideal for the packaging and warehousing industries and baggage handling installations such as airports and railway
stations etc.

Riffled Concentrator Belts

z Riffled conveyor belting has raised edges, is 1 500 mm wide and available in endless form. These belts are uniquely applied at
gold mine concentrators.

Food Quality Belting

z Food quality belting is ideal where foodstuffs come into direct contact with the belt surface. This range of belting is manufactured
from non-toxic materials and is resistant to oils, fats and staining, and meets the strict hygiene requirements laid down by the
food processing industry. The two types available are Grey food belting and Salmon pink belting
