Elastic Machine Tapes up to 750mm

BEHAbelt is adding elastic machine tapes made of TPU to its diverse tape portfolio. Machine tapes have already been established on the market for many years and are often offered in green/black or blue/black versions with antistatic properties.

In addition to reinforced belt constructions, elastic versions are also used to adapt to application requirements.

What advantages and properties do the machine tapes offer?

• Consistent longitudinal flexibility (due to homogeneous belt ­connection without gluing, design as transverse splice possible)
• The tapes remain dimensionally stable after shrinkage despite the tape elasticity
• Reduced energy consumption due to high longitudinal flexibility and thus also lower motor and shaft loads
• Excellent bending properties and thus ideally suited for small pulley diameters
• High abrasion resistance and generally good chemical resistance
• Continuous belt colouring in black or blue, no two-colouring
• Continuous antistatic belt designs offer dissipation properties for ­antistatic charges on the upper and lower side of the belt.
• Adapted surface finish for gentle handling of the goods to be transported
• No tensioning devices are required, especially for the soft elastic versions, allowing for on-site installation and simpler machine design, thus saving costs
• Quick and easy joining of the butt joint by means of butt welding and thus also improved machine availability

Industries and Applications for Machine Tapes

• Packaging and weighing technology
• Intralogistics (mainly distribution belts)
• Textile industry
• Enveloping and mailing systems
• Printing, paper industry
• Alternative for vertical shaft drives

Welding technology for monolithic elastic Machine Tapes

Simple butt welding is enough: Elastic monolithic PU conveyor belts from BEHAbelt offer new fabrica- tion possibilities. Due to the lack of traction layers joining by finger welding is no longer necessary, as the monolithic belt has a homogeneous design – even in the weld seam.

Welding device HS400 & 800: The welding device HS from BEHAbelt is a simple, handy, reliable and cost-effective tool for butt splicing of monolithic belts (up to 800mm width).
