•Clean operation

•Long trouble-free service

Construction Features The tooth design substantially improves stress distribution and allows extra high loading. The molded teeth enter and leave the sprocket grooves smoothly with negligible friction—functioning in much the same way as teeth on a gear. Construction consists of these components:

1. Fiberglass Tensile Member — Provides high strength, excellent flex life and high resistance to elongation.

2.Neoprene® Backing — Strong Neoprene bonded to the tensile member for protection against grime, oil and moisture. It also protects from frictional wear if idlers are used on the back of the belt.

3. Neoprene Teeth — Shear-resistant Neoprene compound is molded integrally with the Neoprene backing. They are precisely formed and accurately spaced to assure smooth meshing with the sprocket grooves.

4. Nylon Facing — Tough nylon fabric with a low coefficient of friction covers the wearing surfaces of the belt. It protects the tooth surfaces and provides a durable wearing surface for long service
