Even the strongest, heaviest belts can be ripped, torn or punctured by heavy, sharp materials or foreign objects, either falling from a height or becoming trapped. Belts can often be destroyed within a matter of weeks or months. The Dunlop solution to this very old problem is a new and unique belt design – Dunlop Ultra X.
Ultra X is a super-strength abrasion resistant 'breaker weft construction' exclusively made by Dunlop Conveyor Belting. It has outstanding impact resistance and up to three times the rip resistance and five times the resistance to tearing compared to conventional multi-ply belting of the equivalent tensile strength. Despite its numerous physical and technical advantages, Ultra X is also exceptionally economical in every respect.
ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO MULTI-PLY BELTING:
• Far Superior Impact Resistance
• At Least 30% greater Splice Joint Strength
• Excellent Mechanical Fastener Retention
• Can Be Used on Smaller Than Usual Pulleys
• Low Elongation, Compared to ‘normal’ Plied Belting
• Short Take-up Travel Good Troughability
• Good Running Behaviour
Ultra X is best joined using the finger splice method. This creates the strongest and most reliable joint possible by retaining up to 90% of tensile strength. This is because the step splice will always create a proportional ‘loss’ of tensile strength that is the equivalent of one ply.
TEAR RESISTANCE TESTING:
The tear resistance of Ultra X measured according to the international EN ISO 505 standard significantly exceeds that of conventional multiply belts. Tests for rip and tear resistance are only made on the actual belt carcass so the top and bottom covers are always removed. This ensures that the thickness and quality of the cover do not influence the accuracy and consistency of the tests.
