Features & Benefits

Excellent fastener holding retention

High strength fill cords enhance mechanical fastener holding ability and resist fastener pull-out for reliable performance and increased uptime.

Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance

Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and then recover their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and resist tearing for long-lasting durability and a lower cost-per-ton conveyed.

High ultimate strength

Plylon Plus withstands severe tension spikes at start up, retaining mechanical fasteners while withstanding continuous flexing around pulleys. With higher ultimate strength Plylon Plus is the difference when operating in abusive conditions.

Reduced stretch

The combination of fabric design and dip process provides lower elasticity and permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and reduces the number of splices at break-in. Contact your local Sales Representative to calculate permanent and elastic elongation requirements for your specific systems.

Standard bias step splices

A very quiet and effective splice technique, step splices greatly reduce downtime and are therefore recognized through the industry as the standard. Plylon Plus in combination with a vulcanized splice retains 100% of belt rated tension during all running conditions.

Variety of cover compounds and cover gauges

Protect your belt with the right compound and cover gauge for the application. Plylon Plus has the flexibility to customize a belt to your application.

Plylon Plus® Featuring Solar Shield®

Solar-Shield® belts are part of the Plylon Plus® family. They’re offered with polyester/nylon, polyester/polyester and fiberglass fabric reinforcements to deliver high performance in extremely hot material applications.

Solar-Shield® Extreme compound with fiberglass reinforcement

The fiberglass option offers the highest degree of burn-through resistance of any current available fabric reinforcement – resisting “hot shots” burn-through up to 1,000°F (538°C).

See page 79 for more information on Solar-Shield®.

Variety of fabric carcasses

Choose from a selection of carcasses that provide outstanding strength, adhesion, impact absorption and other properties. These include fabric carcasses from 220 to 1800 PIW.

Plylon Plus® Features and Benefits

In applications that include crusher, pit, slope and other high-abuse applications, our Plylon Plus® 200, 250 and 450 PIW fabric belts have proven their dependability. The workhorse of our lineup, millions of feet of Plylon Plus® belt are operating worldwide with outstanding success. The key is our unique double-faced 2-1 twill fabric design.

CABLE TWISTED WARP CORD

Within each warp cord are nine individual strands of polyester cords. Three sets of three are twisted together, then together into a single cord.

*Cord illustrated above is utilized in 200, 250 and 450 PIW fabric constructions.

DOUBLE-FACED 2/1 TWILL WEAVE

Superior flexibility is ensured by the unique weave of Plylon Plus® 200, 250 and 450 PIW fabrics. As shown, the face warp cords on the top surface of the fabric cross over three fill cords, go under one, over three, under one and so on. Beneath the fabric are back warp cords.

The polyester warp cords of the Plylon Plus® fabric are twisted into sets of individual strands, then fashioned into a cable cord. Compare the configurations of Plylon Plus® and our competitors’, and you’ll find that Plylon Plus® belt provides significantly more flexibility. This enables you to reduce pulley size and costs. And that’s just the beginning of the Plylon Plus® belt savings story.

Plylon Plus® 200, 250 and 250 PIW fabric conveyor belts demonstrate superior resistance to tears, rips and impact. They also provide unsurpassed adhesion values, patented anti-stringing and fraying properties.
