Dunlop Conveyor Belting - Value for money guaranteed

The highly versatile Dunlop Ferroflex belt is a tried and tested
carcass construction with particularly good low elongation
characteristics and is used wherever tensile strength and cover
grade qualities need to be adaptable to meet the prevailing service
conditions. This applies to all areas of bulk material handling,
particularly with demanding long distance applications and under
high impact conditions in a wide cross-section of industries.
There are two Ferroflex constructions available - FIW and FSW.
Both have a tension layer composed of longitudinal steel cords
through which power transmission is effected. The FIW carcass has
a single transversal layer of steel cords on top of the longitudinal
steel cords, whereas the FSW has two transversal layers of steel
cords situated at both sides of the longitudinal steel cords. The
transverse steel cords reinforce the belt and also protect against
impact and tears, providing excellent reliability and durability.
The FSW construction is particularly suitable for elevator belts
especially for use in the cement industry in combination with the
heat resistant Delahete cover grade quality. The FSW reinforced
belt can be supplied with cable free zones to make the installation
of buckets and fasteners easier and to create a dynamically
stronger endless belt. Both constructions are available in all
Dunlop cover qualities.

Explanation:
To determine the total belt thickness:
Add the sum of the covers to the carcass thickness.

* Diameter for belt-loads from 60% up to 100%.

For lower loads a smaller diameter can also be suitable.

To determine the belt-weight per square metre

(excluding fire resistant belts for which other weights apply):
Multiply the sum of the covers by 1.15 and add the result to the
carcass weight.

** The load support of a belt is a factor of the belt width, belt strength and bulk
material density. The table indicates the limits for correct load support, based
on three idlers of the same length set at 30.
