Optimize conveyor belting system lifetime

The ultimate solution

High impact, tear and rip resistant belting

In some applications, especially primary and secondary crushers, even the strongest and heaviest conventional belts can be ripped or torn by large lumps of heavy, sharp objects, either falling from a height or becoming trapped. Belts can often be destroyed within a matter of weeks or months.

  • Dunlop solution to this problem is UsFlex, which has longitudinal rip resistance more than five times that of multi-ply belts of equivalent rating because of our unique straight
  • The Dunlop solution to this problem is UsFlex, which has longitudinal rip resistance more than five times that of multi-ply belts of equivalent rating because of our unique straight-warp construction. UsFlex provides impact resistance up to three times greater than that of conventional plied belting. This unequaled toughness means the belt will not be easily damaged in the loading and conveying of large, sharp material. As a result, UsFlex will provide the longest belt life in the harshest conditions!

Super strength

Dunlop ‘super strength’ chevron belts are quite simply the strongest and most reliable chevron belts available today. Unlike nearly all other manufacturers, Dunlop profiles are moulded and vulcanised in one continuous production process together with the base belt to form a single, homogeneous belt structure. Apart from the far superior strength, another key advantage is that this allows the use of smaller pulley diameters.

Availability

Standard profile widths range from 400mm up to 1600mm, depending on profile type. Dunlop ‘super strength’ chevron belts are available in RA (high abrasion resistant), and ROS (mineral oil resistant) qualities. Other cover grades are available on request. All Dunlop chevron belts are supplied with moulded edges.

“We used to replace our belts every three to six months before we started fitting UsFlex belts. Now it can be four or five years before we need to fit a replacement. UsFlex really is an amazing belt”

UsFlex FAQ

What makes Dunlop chevron belts different from any other manufacturer’s chevron belts?

Dunlop low chevron (16mm) and high chevron (32mm) belts are different because the profiles are moulded and vulcanized with the base belt in one continuous production process. This creates a single homogenous structure that is far stronger than belts that have the chevrons attached separately and superior integral strength that allows it to be used on applications with smaller pulley diameters.

Do Dunlop chevron belts last longer than their competitors and if so, why?

Dunlop chevron belts have an outstanding reputation for longevity. In addition to the use of the single, continuous vulcanization process, the Dunlop Superfort and Dunloflex carcasses significantly exceed the international standards for tensile strength at break (for both carcass and covers). They are also much less prone to delamination because of the excellent adhesion between the plies and between the covers and the carcass.

Are Dunlop chevron belts suitable for use in the recycling of household waste?

Dunlop low chevron (16mm) and high chevron (32mm) belts are different because the profiles are moulded and vulcanized with the base belt in one continuous production process. This creates a single homogenous structure that is far stronger than belts that have the chevrons attached separately and superior integral strength that allows it to be used on applications with smaller pulley diameters.
