Flat-Flex XT offers you an alternative
to balanced-weave belts for medium-duty processing applications.
Flat-Flex XT has lower belt mass than balanced weave belting
styles which results in lower power consumption, faster processes,
and more product thru-put.
The
strength of the Flat-Flex XT comes from the "Z-bend" joints in the
wire mesh. As a rule, the greater the number of joints across the
width of the belt, the stronger the belt.
The spacing layout on the XT features
more belt joints in a given belt width than the comparable
original Flat-Flex belt. This unique design better distributes the
operating stresses among the belt joints for less severe "cyclic
loading" or metal fatigue.
