We constantly offer innovative solutions to our customers. There is as of now a colossal assortment of conveyor belt categories and design variations available on the market. Moreover, the increasing automation of industrial production processes and machines requires progressing development. Just if all parts and their highlights keep pace, genuine upgrades as far as effectiveness, limit and security can be accomplished.
This is the place where the new elastic monolithic conveyor belts convey a significant commitment. These items empower life span upgrades and limit risks like layer delamination or edge fraying versus versus conventional coated conveyor belts with fabric carcasses.
ADVANTAGES
Product Design :
- No danger of contamination based on exposed belt fabrics or on the other hand because of mechanical harm to belt edges
- A piece of a preventive sterile hardware configuration concerning food safety
- Great cleanability and microbial opposition
- Homogeneously added item highlight choices: Metal detectable,
- X-ray perceivable, UV-C resistant, antistatic releasing
Handling :
- Easy installation of elastic belt versions due to elasticity
- Softer belts allow even a hand mounted possibility with fixed centre to centre machinery designs without any take up
- Butt-end weldings can be made with easy to use apparatus, which guarantees no loss of surface structure, homogeneity and elasticity in the joining
- Brilliant welding/ application of accessories like sidewalls, cleats and V-guides

Requirements and solutions with elastic conveyor belts
As complex as the design options and fabrication assortments for conveyor belts, as adaptable are the extraordinary prerequisite in the different industries, processes and applications
Some significant rules and relevant internal solutions are summed up in the following charts.
Food industry
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS / FEATURES |
| Reliable product conveying, waste reduction | The special choice of PU Shore hardness and the surface structures of the conveyor belt allow optimal alignment with your goods in terms of grip and release position. |
| Food safety | The elastic food conveyor belts are made of FDA / EC compliant materials. Especially for demanding food processing applications, we can equip our belts with functions such as hydrolysis or measurable UV-C resistant bench or the exclusive MICROclean surface finish. The monolithic product design and the use of FDA / EC-compliant materials support safety and HACCP in food processing. |
| Cleanability and longevity | Wear resistant and hydrolysis resistant raw materials guarantee longevity even in hot, humid and wet environments and with regular cleaning. |
Packaging
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS / FEATURES |
| More precise position and grip of goods on belts, even at higher speed | The choice of different surface structures allows a certain correspondence between the coefficient of friction and the release characteristics of the conveyor belt. At the same time, the design of the selected area allows the use of small pulleys to ensure gentle transfer of goods. |
Pharmacy
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS / FEATURES |
| Ensure high process safety and hygiene conditions | Compliance with the highest hygiene standards is ensured by FDA/EC-compliant materials and belts that are easy to clean. |
Logistics
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS / FEATURES |
| Ensure high process safety and hygiene conditions | FDA / EC compliant materials and easy-to-clean belts ensure the highest hygiene standards are met. |
Material handling
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS |
| Longevity, reliability and gentle handling of goods | Thanks to many years of experience and well trained application engineers, to define the optimal combination of conveyor belt material, design and special features for each individual customer. |
Across all industries
| REQUIREMENTS | SOLUTIONS / FEATURES |
| Avoid downtime | The elastic monolithic belts can be custom delivered and manufactured to final dimension or quickly and easily installed on site. This reduces downtime to an absolute minimum. |
| Efficiency and process safety | Carefully matched and configured conveyor belts made from durable, wear-resistant materials ensure reliable performance and minimal maintenance in your application, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). |
| Optimized equipment design | The elastic belts are extremely easy to install. Therefore, in many cases, a complicated template can be avoided, which allows for a simpler and easier to use conveyor. |

Assembly, pulley diameter and distance / hardness
- Softer belts allow a hand mounted possibility with fixed center to center machinery designs
- Harder belts require a sort of take up or fast tensioning device (clean set up)
- Attention: pretension forces may require a confirmation for max. permitted bearing powers or deformations of axes
