MATERIAL HANDLING

ᮡ Stainless steel conveyor belts are able to make
turns with tight transfer, making them ideal for
small, delicate products.

inserts across the full width of the
belt. The splice is clipped into both
sides, and special profile pliers help
to pull it taut. Besides making it
more maintenance friendly, the
new splicing method also extends
the life of the belt. When clips or
a strand from another belt is used
for a repair, it generally is the weakest point in that belt, and the belt

will often break in the same place
again, noted the technical services
manager. "With this new splicing
strand, this strand becomes one of
the strongest points in the belt, so
it will last longer and won't break in
the same place," he observed.

WHAT'S NEW. The following are
some of the latest products for conveyors including a belt that is not yet
available but is expected to hit the
market soon. According to a conveyor
manufacturer, one of its belting suppliers is working on a new belt with
