Two common industry-accepted solutions will maximize your belt life, provide substantial cost savings, improve up-time, and demand less from your maintenance teams.
1. Segmented Urethane V-Guide
Segmented Urethane V-Guide
Thermoweld V-Guide
A segmented urethane guide is cast onto the back of a belt as a liquid and provides a superior bond as compared to a thermoweld v-guide on almost every belt. The individual lug construction will not peel off in a continuous piece like the thermoweld offering.
2. Sokitooit Strip
Sokitooit Strip
Standard Belt
Our urethane department can remove the cover of most belts, and position a Sokitooit Strip in any width and location on a belt. Multiple strips are ideal for parts with sharp points that cut into the belt at each touch-point. Sokitooit Strips have provided documented cost savings of as much as twelve times the belt life of the original spec.
