Solid Woven Cotton Conveyor and Elevator Belting

View in PDF

Marathon Solid Woven Cotton quality is a general purpose belting suitable for a wide range of conveying applications.

Manufactured from high quality 100% cotton yarns, normally in 2, 3 or 4 plies of thickness, but with the additional facility to weave up to 9 plies (40mm maximum thickness) for special purposes.

A comprehensive range of sizes is stocked in a natural cotton finish.

To suit customer's special applications, belts of similar construction can be woven from other types of natural and man-made fibres.

For non-standard sizes or qualities, a minimum length of 100 metres would normally be the most economical amount to weave.

Characteristics:

  • The solid woven construction produces a belt which has a compact and firm texture, with an excellent resistance to ply separation combined with a high tensile strength and flexibility.
  • Good fastener and bolt holding qualities.
  • Has no odour, and does not contaminate other products in contact, therefore is suitable for use in food processing.
  • Used extensively in bakeries because it releases dough and other mixes without sticking.
  • The coarse surface will give a good grip to containers and irregular shaped items, but will run easily on flat and troughed applications.
  • Will operate satisfactorily at temperatures of 100ºC, but can be used for intermittent periods up to 120ºC.
  • Not recommended for wet conditions, however can be used in certain humid environments if suitably impregnated.
