Woven Belting for Pneumatic Conveying

View in PDF

Solid woven belting is used as a porous media on pneumatic conveyors and silos to handle powdered or granular materials such as cement, flour, fine ash, etc.

Marathon manufacture two types of belting for these applications, from Cotton yarns normally 6mm thick and from Polyester yarns 4.5mm thick.

Both types are of solid woven construction and the important porosity factor required for satisfactory working is carefully controlled throughout the weaving process to achieve a consistent permeability along the length and across the width of the belt.
