SPIRALFLEX-79 is a   Mono-Filament Polyester conveyor designed for critical lightweight print, embossing, calendering or fabric processing applications. "Mark-Off" is virtually eliminated while using this belt because of its tremendous release properties and the "endless seam" construction. Picture

8308 is a Teflon coated Fiberglass conveyor designed for applications requiring maximum air flow. The mesh openings are approximately 1/4" (6.35 mm) square to achieve excellent air movement through the conveyor. It is also well suited for high temperature and tensile strength requirements. Because of these properties,  it is perfectly suited for applications in heat tunnels and dryer ovens, particularly under 2540mm (100") in width. The standard joining method is a metal alligator or clipper seam; available with a teflon cover flap. Edges are teflon sealed and then sewn. Maximum width: 2997mm (118"). Picture  

8305 is a Teflon® Coated Kevlar®/ Fiberglass conveyor that, like the 8308, has been designed for applications requiring maximum air flow. The mesh openings are 5mm square to achieve very good air movement. The Kevlar® provides excellent tensile strength and dimensional stability. As a result, this conveyor is often used in Rotary Screen Print and Relaxed Dryers.

US1590 is a Teflon coated Fiberglass conveyor used principally in applications requiring release properties. It is a general purpose belt that is excellent for less demanding applications. This belts seam has been specifically engineered to reduce flex fatigue and is available in either a metal or spiral coil seam. Special edge reinforcements with the same properties as the belt provide a durable, non-fraying edge to facilitate tracking. We recommend this conveyor for relaxed dryers, heat tunnels and dryer ovens. Maximum width available: 3099mm (122"). Picture

Specification Sheet: Spiralflex-79

DESIGN Spiralflex-79 is a Mono-Filament Polyester conveyor designed for critical lightweight print or fabric processing applications. "Mark-Off" is virtually eliminated while using this belt because of its tremendous release properties and the "endless seam" construction. The conveyor is easily washed and repaired at the user’s plant, if necessary. The spiral weave construction and the higher grade IV Polyester Polymer® provide for excellent dimensional stability and improved wear resistance. An added benefit is the "color seaming" which provides opposing seam loops of contrasting colors to ensure proper loop alignment and machine alignment while running.

Specification Sheet: DESIGN 8308 

DESIGN 8308 is a Teflon Coated Fiberglass conveyor designed for applications requiring maximum air flow. The mesh openings are approximately 1/4" (6.35 mm) square to achieve excellent air movement through the conveyor. It is also well suited for high temperature and tensile strength requirements. Because of these properties, it is perfectly suited for applications in heat tunnels and dryer ovens. Dimensional stability is good and selvedges are reinforced with 0.010" (0.25 mm) Teflon to prevent undue wear.

The seam is available in a Metal Clipper or Alligator splice, Teflon fabric splice, Spiral or Pin seam, or the belt can be made completely endless.
