Belt construction

Rip & Impact Reinforced Belting

Fabric or steel-cord belts with transverse reinforcement to protect the carcass from severe loading damage.

Product overview

Built around the duty.

Double Arrow rip and impact reinforced conveyor belt cutaway — Transverse reinforcement positioned above the tensile carcass to help arrest puncture and longitudinal rip propagation.

Rip and impact reinforced constructions add steel wires, non-metallic cords or breaker fabrics across the belt. This structural protection is distinct from an impact-resistant cover compound and is selected when sharp lumps, high drops or trapped material threaten the carcass.

Selection inputs

What we need to confirm.

01
Maximum lump size, shape and mass
02
Drop height and impact-bed arrangement
03
Foreign-object and longitudinal-rip risk
04
Base-belt tension and pulley geometry
05
Repair strategy and monitoring requirements

Specification note

A reinforced carcass addresses structural damage risk. Cover compound and cover thickness must still be selected separately for abrasion, cut, gouge and environmental exposure.
