Conveyor Belts
MC Series

These open mesh conveyor belts are made from woven fiberglass cloth that is coated with TeflonTM, giving it superb UV resistant properties. This coating, combined with the excellent strength characteristics and broad operating temperature range (+500°F), results in a product appropriate for use in a variety of demanding drying and UV curing applications. With an open area of 70%, there is a high level of air flow increasing the rate of drying while reducing power consumption.

Description MC200 is comparable to the standard products offered by most of our competitors, with one major distinction - MC 200 has 15% more PTFE (Teflon), providing a much thicker coating and also increased wear resistance and ability to clean. MC300 is recommended for most UV screen print applications. MC 300 has 35% more PTFE (Teflon), providing the heaviest coating and dramatically increasing the belt's wear resistance and ability to clean. MC 300 belts are 60% stronger, increasing the belt's durability. MC400HD is our heavy duty mesh, recommended for conveying sharp, jagged or heavy objects. MC 400 has 20% more PTFE (Teflon), providing a heavier coating and increases the belt's wear resistance and ability to clean. MC 400HD belts are about 170% stronger, increasing the conveyor belt's durability. MC 500K (Kevlar) is recommended mainly for processes which require superior tear resistance, where steam or water is involved, where sharp and jagged type objects are conveyed and also where conveyors are operating at high speeds.
 
Why Choose Kevlar over Fiberglass?

We recommend that you consider the superior tear and cut resistance of Kevlar for your belting if your applications:

1. Involve water or steam
2. Involve jagged or sharp objects
3. Conveyor has small diameter pulleys
4. Conveyor operates at high speeds
How to determine belt dimensions

1. Measure the width, edge to edge
2. Measure the length

Calculation: T.O.L = 2L + pD
where
L = distance from centre axle to center axle
D = Diameter of pulley
Belt Tracking

For best results, it is recommended that belting should be run on machines with trapezoidal crowned pulleys that are 6" or greater in diameter. Additionally, instead of increasing belt tension in order to track, we recommend lagging the drive and tail pulleys with 50-60 durometer silicone rubber or Durastick 380-095 lagging tape. The lagging of pulleys should increase the overall life of the belt by using less tension to drive the belt.

We recommend that automatic belt tracking systems be used for for belts over 100 ft. in length
