OPEN-MESH TEFLON® BELTING

Open mesh Teflon® PTFE impregnated fiberglass belting is available in brown or with a black U.V. block coating in widths up to 118" and any length. The fluorocarbon resins used in the curing process are chemically inert, and the woven glass substrate provides exceptional strength and dimensional stability. Its non-stick surface, operating temperature range from -100°F to +550°F and the 70% open area makes this belting the perfect solution for many drying applications such as:

• Conveyorized screen print dryers
• Conveyorized belts for drying textiles
• Conveyorized belts for side and base sealing auto pack machines
• Conveyorized belts for resoldering and ink drying cable braiding

SILICONE/GLASS BELTING

Fabricated out of our Silicone/Glass fabric this belting is available in white or red, coated one or both sides, in widths up to 36" and any length. It provides excellent release properties, high dielectric strength, wear and flexing resistance and high chemical resistance. The operating temperature range is from -100°F to +500°F. The non-toxic, tasteless and odorless qualities of the coating make it appropriate for use in food handling operations, as well as, other applications such as:

• Conveyorized shrink tunnels
• Conveyor quick freeze chambers
• Mid-temperature process conveyors

SPECIALTY BELTING

We cost-effectively custom coat Kevlar®, Nomex® and laminate substrates for belting to meet specific customer needs.

SPLICING OPTIONS

To assure the best performance and accurate tracking, we recommend that wherever possible belts be ordered with splices. We offer all the standard splices. Please call (863-698-6248) our technical service department to discuss which splice would be best for your specific application.

	Heat Sealed Overlap This is the standard splice for most applications. The belt ends are overlapped from 1/2" to 2" then heat sealed. For additional strength the splice can be stitched.
	Heat Sealed Butt This splice is perfect in applications where a smooth belt surface is required. The ends of the belt are butted together. A reinforcement fabric is positioned beneath the joint and then heat sealed into place. For additional strength this splice can also be stitched.
	Finger Splice This splice provides an excellent continuous release surface. Die Cut interlocking fingers are joined, reinforced and heat sealed into place.
	Alligator/Clipper Splice This is an exceptionally strong metal splice. Metal lacing is meshed together and joined by inserting a metal pin. This provides a flexible splice and enables the belt to be installed without taking the machine apart.
	Fabric Pin Splice Similar to the Alligator/Clipper splice but without any metal components.

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

Edge Reinforcement
For the many applications that require edge protection, GBI can heat seal and/or sew a reinforcement strip of fabric or film to one or both edges of our belts. This not only protects the edges from wear and abrasion but also serves as an anchor for tracking aids.

Splice Protection
GBI can heat seal and/or sew a cover flap over the Alligator/Clipper splice. This prevents the metal lacing from contacting the product being conveyed and provides a continuous release surface.

Tracking And Guiding
GBI belts can be supplied with guiding pins, grommets or silicone tracking guides on one or both edges. This helps assure accurate tracking and promotes increased belt performance. The pins and silicone tracking guides are designed to fit into the grooves cut into the pulleys.

DRIVING

All GBI belts are best driven by metal rollers. For large belts we recommend lagging the drive rollers with soft rubber. To assure best performance, belt tension should be kept to a minimum.
