Metalcord

METALCORD belts are manufactured with two types of carcass (warp cords and weft cords):

  • Carcass with elastic M warp cords (4x7 construction), strong impact resistance,
    particularly suitable for:
    • conveyors with small pulley diameters
    • curved conveyors with small radii
    • severe conditions of use
    • frequent stopping and starting
  • Carcass with reduced-elasticity E warp cords (7x7 construction), high breaking strength, particularly suitable for applications with conveyors with large centre distances.

Our weft cords are specially designed (ten times more elastic than the warp cords) and enable very good troughing whatever the width of the belt. Example: 35° trough, width 800 mm, type 2250 N/mm.

Belt complying with standard EN ISO 15236

We guarantee excellent rubber penetration and high adhesion values. Our open type cord design, our expertise in chemical adhesion between cords and rubber and our 40-bar vulcanisation process give the belt very high cord adhesion.

Only the METALCORD belt has its own carcass, with 3 layers of metal cords (cords of variable elasticity). This type of construction presents various advantages. These include:

• excellent cord/rubber adhesion
• resistance to repeated shocks
• resistance to penetration
• ability to eject foreign bodies
• limiting of longitudinal cuts and tears
• possibility of total wear of covers
• aptitude for winding on small pulley diameters
• aptitude for accepting small convex radii of curvature
• good efficiency at joint
• possibility of fastener jointing
• easy emergency repairs
