Get Yourself a Strong Belt


You can't move hard rocks with milk and cookies. You need tough stuff.

Aggregate rock is heavy, dirty, abrasive, challenging. To move it on above-ground belts, only the strongest, heartiest, most stoutly constructed belts -- with the best compounds and most robust carcasses -- will do. Belts like this carry the name Goodyear.

Now Goodyear's best is even better.

IBT announces the availability of Goodyear Plylon Plus -- Goodyear's best. Which means it will stand up to any challenge that aggregate rock can throw at it.

Goodyear knows that abrasion, tears, rips and fastener pull-outs kill belts -- and that broken, damaged, compromised belts kill productivity.

That's why Goodyear and IBT are doing something to put an end to early belt failures and too short belt life.

Plylon Plus is a belt designed to offer extreme performance at a reasonable price. When you figure cost per ton, the Plylon Plus advantage meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Customers can maximize productivity because Plylon Plus has has low elongation, good resistance to abrasion, excellent retention of fasteners and good resistance to tearing.

Built with a new poly/nylon construction on a variety of alternative cover compounds.

Specific Advantages:

Excellent fastener holding retention
High strength nylon fill cords enhance mechanical fastener holding ability and resist fastener pull-out for reliable performance and increased uptime.

Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance
Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and then recover their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and resist tearing for long-lasting durability and lowest cost-per-ton conveyed.

High ultimate strength
Plylon Plus withstands severe tension spikes at start-up, retains mechanical fasteners and withstands continuous flexing around pulleys. This higher ultimate strength makes a critical difference in abusive operating conditions.

Reduced stretch
The combination of fabric design and dip process provides less elastic and permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and reduces the number of splices at break-in.

Standard bias step splices
A quick and effective technique, step splices greatly reduce downtime and are recognized throughout the industry as the standard. The vulcanized splice in Plylon Plus retains 100% of belt tension rating during all running conditions.

Variety of cover compounds and cover gauges
Protect your product with the proper compound and cover gauge for the application. Plylon Plus has the flexibility to customize a belt to your application.

Variety of fabric carcasses
Choose from a selection of carcasses that provide outstanding strength, adhesion, impact absorption, and other properties. These include: Nylon/Nylon fabric carcasses up to 600 PIW and Polyester/Nylon fabric carcasses from 400 - 1800 PIW.
