Polyurethane belts for conveying applications The unique chemical and mechanical features of ELATECH® belts together with the possibility of a wide range of backings in different materials make ELATECH® belts ideal for all conveying applications where synchronization is required. The engineer designer has unlimited possibilities to make a unique design. Minimum pulley diameter The minimum pulley diameter can be calculated by means of the “pulley multiplier” shown for each type of backing. Minimum pulley diameter = backing thickness x pulley multiplier CD. As a general rule, we may say that the...
