Introduction
Belt Construction
ContiTech conveyor belts are designed from the inside out to endure the everyday
working abuse of tons of coal, aggregate, wood and hard rock.
Layers of specially designed fabric plies are sandwiched
between rubber skim coats for adhesion and load support.
Bottom and top cover compounds are added for maximum
protection of the belt carcass. These compounds are
comprised of different polymers, fillers and plasticizers and
come in a wide variety of cover gauges.

The new dual layer twill fabric gives Fortress XP improved load bearing and impact resistance.
major
Fortress XP has industry-leading impact resistance. Loading point impact damage can b e a
cause of belt failure. Design engineers used an enhanced Dynamic Impact Tester to simulate
loading impact force and its effects on belting.
The dual layer twill fabric design enables high transverse tear strength. This minimizes tears that
result from material punctures as well as edge tears from misaligned belts.
Scrap metal or debris often get hung up in the structure of the conveyor, causing equipment
damage and slits or cuts in long sections of the belt. Our fabric design helps dislodge and expel
foreign objects and contains rips to a small area.

If top cover and pulley cover are balanced (i.e., 3/16 in. x 3/16 in. or 4.7mm x 4.7mm) or less than 1/16 in. (1.5mm) differential (i.e., 3/16 in. x 5/32 in. or 4.7mm x 3.9mm), add 6 in. (152mm)
to the minimum belt width. 6 in. (152mm) narrower widths are possible if the belt is broken in for an extended period of time fully loaded. Consult your Sales Representative.
Additional break-in time is required when the belt has been stored prior to installation in ambient temperatures of less than 50F (10C).

Reduced stretch
The combination of fabric design and dip process provides lower elasticity and permanent
elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and reduces the number of
splices at break-in. Contact your local Sales Representative to calculate permanent and elastic
elongation requirements for your specific systems.

Plylon Plus rated belt tension can exceed 100%, with a maximum of 150%, during starting and stopping conditions. Fastener size recommendation may vary due to cover thickness,pulley
diameters and system tension. Consult your Sales Representative or fastener manufacturer. R-6 fasteners must be installed with stainless steel rivets when belt tensions exceed 800 PIW
(140 kN/m) for best results.
*P/P = Poly/Poly and P/N = Poly/Nylon
**Average permanent elongation values at 100% of rated belt tension are based on ISO 9856 test procedure. Consult your Sales Representative or Distributor for elastic and total
elongation calculations.
***Consult your Sales Representative for vulcanized splice design for 900/2, 1350/3 and 1800/4 constructions.

Plylon Plus rated belt tension can exceed 100%, with a maximum of 150%, during starting and stopping conditions. Fastener size recommendation may vary due to cover thickness, pulley
diameters and system tension. Consult your Sales Representative or fastener manufacturer. R-6 fasteners must be installed with stainless steel rivets when belt tensions exceed 800 PIW
(140 kN/m) for best results.
*P/P = Poly/Poly and P/N = Poly/Nylon
**Average permanent elongation values at 100% of rated belt tension are based on ISO 9856 test procedure. Consult your Sales Representative or Distributor for elastic and total
elongation calculations.
***Consult your Sales Representative for vulcanized splice design for 900/2, 1350/3 and 1800/4 constructions.

If top cover and pulley cover are balanced (i.e., 3/16 in.x3/16 in. or 5mm x 5mm) or less than 1/16 in. (2mm) differential (i.e., 3/16 in.x5/32 in. or 4mm x 3mm), add 6 in. (150mm) to the
minimum belt width. 6 in. (150mm) narrower widths are possible if the belt is broken in for an extended period of time fully loaded. Consult your Sales Representative. Additional break-in
time is required when the belt has been stored prior to insulation in ambient temperatures of less than 50F (10C).
Above tables are based on top cover gauge equal or greater than the bottom (pulley) cover gauge.

If top cover and pulley cover are balanced (i.e., 3/16 in. x 3/16 in. or 5mm x 5mm) or less
than 1/16 in. (2mm) differential (i.e., 3/16 in. x 5/32 in. or 4mm x 3mm), add 6 in. (150mm)
to the minimum belt width. 6 in. (150mm) narrower widths are possible if the belt is broken
in for an extended period of time fully loaded. Consult your Sales Representative. Additional
break-in time is required when the belt has been stored prior to insulation in ambient
temperatures of less than 50F (10C). Above tables are based on top cover gauge equal or
greater than the bottom (pulley) cover gauge.

Wood Sawyer Plus rated belt tension can exceed 100%, with a maximum of 150%, during starting and stopping conditions. Fastener size recommendation may vary due to cover
thickness, pulley diameters and system tension. Consult your Sales Representative or fastener manufacturer. R-6 fasteners must be installed with stainless steel rivets when belt tensions
exceed 800 PIW for best results.
*P/P = Poly/Poly and P/N = Poly/Nylon
**Average permanent elongation values at 100% of rated belt tension are based on ISO 9856 test procedure. Consult your Sales Representative or Distributor for elastic and total
elongation calculations.
***Consult your Sales Representative for vulcanized splice design for 900/2, 1350/3 and 1800/4 constructions.

Wood Sawyer Plus rated belt tension can exceed 100%, with a maximum of 150%, during starting and stopping conditions. Fastener size recommendation may vary due to cover
thickness, pulley diameters and system tension. Consult your Sales Representative or fastener manufacturer. R-6 fasteners must be installed with stainless steel rivets when belt tensions
exceed 800 PIW for best results.
*P/P = Poly/Poly and P/N = Poly/Nylon
**Average permanent elongation values at 100% of rated belt tension are based on ISO 9856 test procedure. Consult your Sales Representative or Distributor for elastic and total
elongation calculations.
***Consult your Sales Representative for vulcanized splice design for 900/2, 1350/3 and 1800/4 constructions.

Flexsteel Belts
A Technically Superior Product
Generations of our engineers have been involved for
over 70 years in the design and application of Flexsteel
conveyor belting. This cumulative experience translates into
state-of-the-art technology, assuring superior product design
and maximum performance for our customers.
Superior strength, durability, ease
of installation
ContiTech's Flexsteel conveyor belting has provided maximum
protection against pounding and abuse in some of the world's
largest and most demanding applications. Flexsteel belting is
the only choice when extremely high tensions are present,
having proven itself on copper and oil sands system operations
at 6000 PIW (ST7000) tension.
Flexsteel is also the preferred belt on long overlands and short
Stacker systems where minimum belt elongation is a critical
design consideration. Flexsteels steel cord reinforcement
elongates a maximum of .25% at rated tension, allowing for
acceptable take-up travel design on long overlands, as well as
short Stacker/Reclaimer systems.
We have the capability to manufacture Flexsteel belts in long
lengths up to 168 in. (4.2m) roll diameters, or 50 short ton
(45.4 M.T.) rolls at some production locations. This allows for
the minimum number of splices or joints in a conveyor system,
which facilitates faster installation while providing a more
reliable system. Specialized oblong packaging is available to
further maximize belt lengths.
Additional time can be saved during installation by using
another Flexsteel innovation: Preform Splice kits. Preform is
a pre-grooved form that simplifies splicing by allowing you to
sandwhich the cables coming from either side between the
formed rubber. Not only is the process of splicing made easier,
but the belt itself is made stronger.
You can depend on Flexsteel steel cord belts to be precisely
engineered to meet rigorous manufacturing standards. Rely on
Flexsteel for strength, durability and ease of installation.

Flexsteel Belts
Features & Benefits
Life-long Splices
Our proven splicing methods, validated on our Two-Pulley Splice Tester, result in dynamic splice
efficiencies in excess of the 50% rating defined in DIN 22110 Part 3. With proper technique,
splices on Flexsteel belts should last the life of the belt. And when your belt is expected to last
20 years, that is a long time.
See Preform Patented Splice Technology on page 48.
44
Lower Cost-Per-Ton
Fewer conveyors and splices, shorter take-ups and reduced belt inventory add up to significant
cost savings right up front. Longer belt life, life-long splices, excellent belt training and reduced
downtime save you even more down the road. Overland conveyors are typically more efficient
than trucks or rail. It all adds up to the a lower cost-per-ton of material conveyed, which can make
a major improvement in your bottom line.

Savings
Less Downtime
Improved Performance
Testing on the 2-Pulley Dynamic splice tester at our Technical
Center in Marysville, Ohio, shows the results of two identical
belts, one spliced using Preform and one spliced using
conventional splicing methods. This one test shows the
Preform splice to withstand 33% more load cycles, or a
theoretical 33% longer service life, than the conventional splice.
Static pull splice strength tests conducted at an independent
laboratory showed the Preform splice to be at least 10%
stronger than a conventional splice.

Snubs are defined as having 6 in. (152.4mm) or less belt contact and tension less than 50% of belt rating. Pulley sizes for Flexsteel belts are determined by face pressure on the pulley
and/or the pulley-to-cable diameter ratio. All pulleys must be flat as crowned pulleys will cause excessive center tension in the high modulus steel cable product.

Keeping it clean.
Because of its closed belt design, ContiPipe provides dust-free
transport of materials, keeping finer materials within the belt
and not lost to the air. Meanwhile, the transported materials are
protected from damaging external elements like wind and rain.

Every day, the ongoing commitment to research by conveyor belt manufacturer ContiTech pays off for our customers. It is
demonstrated in part by a $5 million plus investment in our state-of-the-art worldwide research and development facilities.
Instron 5500R
Increasing your uptime by reducing rips and tears.
How often is your conveyor down due to rips and tears? Our Instron machine is used to
develop stronger belts with some of the industrys best rip, tear and fastener pullout properties.
Tests: ASTM 378-12, 16 & 18: ISO 283, 505 & 1120; AS 13334.3 & .8; DIN 22102-2.6, 22110-6.1; internally
developed test standards.
Impact Tester
Developing belts that take a beating.
Many material handling applications experience belt punctures that typically occur in
the loading zone. Therefore, we developed this machine to dynamically test a belts ability to
withstand impact damage. Case in point, our Dual-Layer Twill fabric used in Fortress XP.
Tests: Internally developed test standards.
