Application-oriented belt technology
German Belting Tech textile conveyor belts are configured around operating tension, pulley diameters, material characteristics and environmental conditions. EP fabric carcasses provide a practical balance of strength, flexibility and spliceability for industrial conveying.

Typical applications
Construction
A textile belt is built around a fabric carcass, commonly EP (polyester/nylon), protected by rubber covers. The number of plies, fabric strength, cover thickness and compound are selected together according to operating tension, impact load and pulley geometry.
Operating Properties
Their main strengths are flexibility, good troughability, impact absorption and straightforward splicing. They are a practical choice for many quarry, cement, recycling and general bulk-handling conveyors.
Selection Criteria
Selection should consider belt tension, idler trough angle, pulley diameters, lump size, drop height, ambient temperature and the required resistance to abrasion, oil, heat or flame.
Application engineering matters
Final belt selection should always be verified against the real conveyor geometry, tension calculation, material characteristics, duty cycle and environmental exposure.
