Aramid conveyor belts

Long lasting, energy saving belts

Aramid conveyor belts are suitable for a broad range of applications. They combine strong, light reinforcement with a variety of cover materials – wear, flame resistant and heat resistant – to ensure your belt is not only resistant to fatigue but also corrosion, rot and chemicals. Thanks to their light weight, they consume less energy and therefore reduce emissions. Less waste and lower emissions help you to reach your sustainability targets.

Advantages

Light as other synthetic fibers like polyester or polyamid, but as strong as steel.

Material properties

Low elongation, no creep and excellent resistance against heat and chemicals.

Special features

Reduces your conveyor’s power consumption and your site's emissions.

Trellex Aramid conveyor belts

Material properties

Trellex Aramid conveyor belts are reinforced with aramid fibers. The resulting material is as light as other synthetic fibers like polyester or polyamid, but as strong as steel. It has low elongation, no creep and excellent resistance against heat and chemicals. Tensile strengths range from 500 to 2500 N/mm.

The straight-warp fabric contains transverse polyamide cords to protect the aramid cords from both sides. As there is a single fabric ply only, the carcass is light and flexible with optimum strength utilization. Additional polyamide breakers can be supplied to protect the fabric against rips or heavy impacts. Top and bottom cover meet high demands on wear and impact resistance, providing the optimum protection for the valuable aramid.

Special features

Installing a light weight Trellex Aramid conveyor belt substantially reduces your conveyor’s power consumption contributing positively to your sustainability targets. For further savings, choose a low-energy compound as bottom cover and combine with ESI idlers.

Convenience is another key feature. Thanks to lower belt weight and thickness, you get more length per roll, allowing for long production runs. Splicing is straightforward. Use a finger splice, ideally with Trellex splicing material, to join aramid types belts. No special tools are needed.
