Chipper Drive Wedge-Band® belts are specially designed and constructed to meet the unique demands of the forestry products industry.
The laminated belt is made of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), a synthetic rubber that is durable, heat resistant, static conductive and resistant to hardening and glazing.
EPDM offers superior flex and load carrying capacity and a broad operating temperature range of -50°F to +250°F.
Instead of using sets of individual belts, this banded belt is engineered with a special raw edge laminated construction that provides perfect balance between the controlled transfer of power and slippage.
It is designed to slip during overload" or drive stall conditions. By allowing the belt to have controlled slippage less heat is generated, which results in longer belt life.
The tie-band is highly engineered to permanently bond multiple belts together enabling the belts to function as a single unit with even load distribution and wear.
The banded belt construction minimizes belt whip and rollover.
