KODIAK®
Polyester Warp -- Nylon Fill -- Crowfoot Weave

Alternative Beltings provides our customers with one of the most durable belts used in the construction of conveyor belts. The KODIAK incorporates a polyester warp yarn and a nylon fill yarn for peak strength, low stretch and excellent tracking.
The difference that the Kodiak carcass offers is that it is woven utilizing a crowfoot weave technique. The crowfoot weave consist of 3 alternating yarns instead of just 2 like in a plain weave. These yarns go over and fewer than 2 cross (fill) yarns instead of just 1 like in a plain weave. This gives the Kodiak carcass mechanical shock absorption not found in traditional plain weave fabrics. This allows the belt to take the heavy impact of applications such as log handling that, in the past, have been reserved for all nylon belting.
Based on how the Kodiak is will provide impact resistance you will not find in plain weave Poly/Nylon carcasses. Other benefits are increased puncture resistance due to the increased amount of fabric weight per square foot over plain or oxford weaves. Along with the strength that the nylon filled yarns in conjunction with the highly durable crowfoot weave increases the belt’s resistance to ripping and tearing.
The Kodiak economically improves the performance of your belt without the problems that a 100% Nylon belt will cause such as permanent elongation and tracking problems. It is available in a 235 lbs. rated fabric. The Kodiak, ultimate species of the Alternative Belting Poly/Nylons.

TIGER®
Polyester Warp -- Polyester Fill -- Plain Weave

The polyester warp yarns of the TIGER yield great strength with a minimum of stretch. The TIGER is ideal when take-up is in short supply or when excessive stretch causes the belt to be cut and hot spliced again, costing time and money. Superior tracking is another great benefit of the polyester warp yarns of the TIGER. The polyester fill yarns gives the belt good lateral stiffness and increased load support. The TIGER carcass has excellent chemical resistance and has good heat resistance. The all polyester carcass resists moisture absorption, allowing the TIGER to run even in submerged applications without the carcass distorting. Polyester retains more of its dry tensile strength when wet than other fabrics. The TIGER carcass is manufactured using high grade compounds with high elongation and high adhesion properties. Since polyester is more stable than nylon when subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture, it is superior for fabrication involving hot vulcanization. The TIGER is avaible in a 75 lb*., and 110 lb*., rated fabrics. The TIGER is one versatile carcass at home in varied conditions.

Textile Belting

Since 1892 when Thomas Robins used the first conveyor belts to carry coal and ore, we have advanced our conveyor systems to a new level of efficiency and reliability. Alternative Belting has ability now to reinforce the belt by using various products such as steel, and fabric has made our belting systems stronger and more durable. Depending on the amount and type of pliés that have been applied to your belts you have greater strength to your belts.
Textile belt advantages and Features: Have solid rubber edges, endless jointed by means of well-known splicing systems, covers consists of an abrasion-resistant rubber quality, with high values for strength and elongation.

Advantages of all Alternative Belting Conveyor Belt Types
Alternative Belting partnered with Phoenix Conveyor Belts to develop and construct conveyor belts in various grades of covers, which are adapted to special requirements and conditions of use such as:
  • Fire-protection safety
  • Resistance to aggressive transported materials like chemical mediums, fats and oils
  • Extreme abrasion resistance with highly abrasive bulk materials
  • High efficiency and erosion


Uniflex PVG and uniflex PVC (provided by Phoenix Conveyor Belts)
Our partners at Phoenix have develops a self-extinguishing textile conveyor belt with solid woven tension carriers and rubber covers for a wide range of strengths during the 1970s. The PVC plastomer and the CR elastomer were used as basic materials. A new generation of belts was created, which are distinguished by the following features.
Features and Advantages:
  • Durability by means of high abrasion resistance
  • Dynamically efficient fatigue-resistant splices by means of vulcanization or mechanical fastening
  • High static and dynamic tear-off resistance of the tension carrier
  • Resistance to ageing and moisture
  • High fire-protection safety and low surface resistance
The UNIFLEX® PVG conveyor belt is constructed from unconventional materials and it represents one of the most interesting developments of conveyor belts. In this respect UNIFLEX® conveyor belts have passed their test of suitability and they are now given priority in fields of application which were formerly reserved for steel-cord conveyor belts only.

Alternative belting is able to provide you UNIFLEX® PVG our partners Phoenix Conveyor Belt achieved the first official approval worldwide for this type of belt in the year 1979. The palette of conveyor belts was to a minimum belt breaking strength of 3,150 N/mm. This type of conveyor belt was also considered within the scope of standardization, almost one decade after the Phoenix Uniflex had been developed.
Another belt provided by Alternative Belting is the UNIFLEX® PVC conveyor belts consist of a PVC impregnated solid woven traction carrier and PVC covers. UNIFLEX® PVC conveyor belts are ideally suited for rough usage below ground, and they meet the strictest safety regulations for fire-protection.

Compound Agents For Tread


In addition to different Fort carcass selections, Legg Company offers a variety of different cover compounds. Legg Company has belt constructions engineered with exact compounds for specific applications, but if you would like something a little more tailor-made, we have a solution. Legg Company has a wide range of compounds for your selection. Legg Company has natural, natural/synthetic, and all synthetic compounds to fit the ever increasing demand for belt performance. Each compound is engineered for extended belt life and increased carcass performance at competitive prices. Legg compounds utilize premium polymers to start. Select additives are then used to accomplish the specific task at hand. You will find Legg Company compounds generally are a softer duro. This is due largely to our lack of fillers in our compound. After all, harder does not necessarily mean tougher, higher tensile, greater elongation, or higher tear when discussing rubber. But often, harder belt compound means more clay fillers which reduce cost and reduce performance.

  • XT-GII is Legg Company’s premium RMA Grade II. It incorporates premium polymers with select additives to achieve superior performance over standard Grade IIs.It has great
    abrasion resistance, great tensile, tear and elongation values combined with superior adhesions.

  • GI (Grade 1) is a compound used where a belt will be subjected to higher abrasion situations. It has high cut and gouge resistance and is generally used in rock handling
    applications. Legg Company’s GI meets or exceeds the requirements of the Rubber Manufacturers Association for Grade I belting.

  • GI-P (Grade I Premium) is Legg's premium compound for heavy rock applications or other high impact applications. The high elongation coupled with the high tensile is what gives it the toughness to help withstand long drops of big rock shards*. The idea is for the top cover to elongate with out tearing until the inertial forces have been diminished.

    Coupled with Legg's Grizzly or Kodiak carcass the GI-P will make an exceptional primary belt or under crusher belt.

    Note: Legg Co. does not recommend dropping heavy rock or other product for long distances directly onto the belt. Deflectors and shoot angles should be used to slow the momentum of the material. Legg Co. also recommends cushioned or dampened load points for any belt handling heavy material. GI-P is designed to maximize belt life provided the above mentioned practices are in place.

  • FF (Force Field) is a very abrasion resistant compound. Specially formulated for high abrasion applications. We like to think of the GI-P as the off road cut and gouge resistant cover
    compound, well, the Force Field is the Semi Truck tire compound, designed for small granular abrasive material, meant to go the long haul.

  • XT-MOR (Moderately Oil Resistant) is a moderately oil resistant version of the XT-GII compound. It maintains the qualities of the XT-GII while giving a secure level of oil resistance. With a 75% oil swell, it has a higher degree of oil resistance than you will find in many of MORs.

  • GH (MOR SC FR) The GRAIN HANDLER is engineered for use in the grain elevator industry or where a static conductive and or fire retardant belt is needed. Grain Handler is a moderately oil resistance compound used for conveying whole grains such as corn and wheat. It is not recommended for handling oil seeds such as canola or shelled sunflowers.

  • GHS (VOR SC FR)< The GRAIN HANDLER SUPREME is a compound formulated for oilier applications in the grain industry. The 10% max. oil swell of the GHS’s pure Nitrile composition makes it ideal for applications such as the conveying of crushed canola. The GHS is also well suited for use with mineral oil dust suppression systems.

  • MSHA is a compound which must meet the requirements of the US Bureau of Mines 2G flame retardant test. It is largely used for below ground mining applications where the risk of fire entrapment is predominant.

  • MSHA MOR is a compound that meets the requirements of the US Bureau of Mines 2G flame retardant test AND delivers a degree of oil resistance for product that has been treated for dust suppressions in the coal or other industries. Or to handle petroleum coke where some benzene is still in the product.

  • HIGH HEAT is an EPDM that offers very good to excellent heat resistance with temperatures ranging to 400o F. It also offers outstanding ozone and oxidation resistance as well as very good abrasion resistance. This makes for an ideal compound for many applications. Handling high temperature products in outside environments or high temperature handling of very abrasive products.

  • <HAHOR (Hot Asphalt/Heat and Oil Resistant) is a high heat NBR formulated to withstand the high temperatures and heavy oils of the asphalting industry. It offers excellent abrasion characteristics for an NBR, while maintaining the oil resistance required. With a temperature range up to 350o F it will handle your asphalt needs. It should be noted that with this compound the high temperature is only achievable when heavy oil is present. This belt is not rated above 225o F when light or no oil is present.

  • VOR (Very Oil Resistant) is a pure Nitrile compound that has maximum oil resistance. It is used where there is an excess of oil or oily products being conveyed.

  • CBXNBR (Carboxylated Nitrile) is one of the toughest compounds around. It offers excellent cut and gouge resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. It's uses range from corrugated boxes to scrap iron. In addition to it's toughness, it offers excellent oil resistance to most oils. Available in Rust and Blue colors.

  • WFGS (White Food Grade SBR) is a compound for use in handling consumable food products, or for products that will be consumed by consumable livestock. It is an SBR so it gives good abrasion resistance considering there is no carbon black. It can be used for non oily products such as sugar, dehydrated potatoes, and flour, just to name a few. It is formulated to meet the requirements of the FDA.

  • WFGN (White Food Grade Nitrile) is a compound for use in handling consumable food products, or for products that will be consumed by consumable livestock, that have a high oil content. It has good abrasion and cut and gouge resistance in addition to it's oil resistance. A pure Nitrile, it gives the highest level of oil resistance for oily products such as meat, soy bean meal, pre cooked potato products, and shelled nuts, to name a few. It is formulated to meet the requirements of the FDA.

  • TPG (Tan Pure Gum) is a very, very tough compound, with an exceptionally high coefficient of friction. Used where very high cut and gouge resistance, combined with a high demand for gripping the material is a must, and where abrasion is a factor. It is a non marking compound which makes it ideal for the timber products industry. This compound is so incredibly tough with such exceptional grip, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.

  • TNMSBR (Tan Non Marking SBR) is a tan non marking SBR. It has good tear and good abrasion resistance. A great belt for handling products where marking is not permitted. Ideal in many markets such as paper handling, finished aluminum parts, planers, sanders, lumber, packaged goods, and light conveying field. A great coefficient of friction to grip your product even at steep inclines, with out the cost of the TPG.

  • SSB (Super Slider Back) is a specially designed compound to allow a user to run a rubber cover back in a slider bed application. With a coefficient of friction of .45 -.60 it will increase your drag over a true bare back, but much lower than traditional rubber back belts. The only solution when utilizing a bare back belt when handling fertilizers and products that produce super fines.

PHOENOCORD® EOB
The Energy-Optimized Conveyor Belt


The advantages of the energy-saving PHOENOCORD® EOB conveyor belt as offered at Alternative Belting are a result from the special viscoelastic properties of the running side cover. Phoenix scientists have simulated the deformation of conveyor belts on idlers in elaborate FEM simulations.

It was established while doing so, that the greatest deformation occurs directly above the layer that runs over the carrying idler. External influential factors like weather and the system's condition must be considered when ascertaining the energy requirement. Transverse reinforcement on the running side enables further energy savings to be achieved.


Advantages of a PHOENOCORD® EOB
PHOENOCORD® EOB conveyor belts can reduce energy consumption up to 15% by means of their visco-elastic properties thanks to the special quality of covers. This is an important contribution to increasing the economic efficiency of continuously longer conveyor routes.

» The conveyor belt is deformed when running over the carrying rollers, which consumes energy. Bulges form in front of the carrying rollers » The cover's EOB quality with special visco-elastic properties reduces this deformation and it helps to reduce the drive energy.


PHOENOFLEX®


Unlike conveyor belts which use individual steel cords as the tension carrier, PHOENOFLEX® conveyor belts have a tension carrier that is made from steel cords which are additionally interconnected with textile or steel threads. PHOENOFLEX® is typically used for high temperatures such as when conveying hot bitumen.


PHOENAMID®


The PHOENAMID® conveyor belt is available for special applications which demand a combination of low elongation, low weight and high strength, e.g. on machine booms. Its tension carriers consist of aramid cords. Special prerequisites of systems engineering have to be met when using aramid conveyor belts.


MAGMA®
High Temperature Conveyor Belts


The MAGMA® generation of conveyor belts was created in order to meet the growing requirements for heat-resistant conveyor belts. It is based on many years of experience with conveying hot bulk materials and practically oriented testing procedures. Phoenix used the latest technology in the field of polymeric materials when developing the program of MAGMA® conveyor belts.

MAGMA® conveyor belts are used for a large number of conveyed materials like cement, slag, ash, moulding sand, etc.
MAGMA can also be used as a steel-cord belt for conveyance over great distances. The beltsplices for MAGMA® can be made with Phoenix splicing materials or with commercial quality materials that are sufficiently resistant to high temperatures.

MAGMA® ensures unproblematic transport at continuous temperatures of up to 200°C with short-term peaks that are considerably higher. MAGMA® conveyor belts can be supplied as single-ply, two-ply and multiply belts.


PHOENOPIPE®
The Closed Conveyor Belt

PHOENOPIPE® conveyor belts are primarily used where bulk materials must be conveyed along horizontal and vertical curves in confined spaces. PHOENOPIPE®'s special capability of adapting to topography allows material to be conveyed through difficult terrain and over long distances.

PHOENOPIPE®'s important advantages are protection of the conveyed material from environmental influences like rain and wind as well as protection of the environment by avoiding discharge of the conveyed material such as ash from power stations and gypsum. Inclined angles of up to 35° can be unproblematically overcome by using PHOENOPIPE®. Cost reductions are possible by shortening the conveyor route and avoiding transfer stations.

Advantages of a Closed Conveyor Belt
Closed conveyor belts are gaining increasing importance because they meet the growing requirements for a clean environment to a high degree. It is also possible to shorten the conveyor route, too.


PHOENOTOP®
Cover Belt

PHOENOTOP® cover belts are used in systems where the conveyed material has to be protected. Special transversely rigid belts are used in this case.

PHOENOTOP® cover belts are flexible in the longitudinal direction so that they can be partially lifted off from the steel construction when loading and unloading. The conveyed material thus remains protected as much as possible when loading and unloading.



MVF-A
Acid Protected Conveyor Belts


The MVF-A quality was specially developed for conveying copper ore. Copper ore is sharp edged and highly abrasive.In addition, the ore is frequently sprayed with sulphuric acid in order to leach out the metal from the ore.

The MVF-A quality copes with these aggressive mechanical and chemical stresses, thanks to its high abrasion resistantand acid protected properties


For the most aggressive conditions of use in mining:
  • high abrasion resistant
  • acid protected
  • wear resistant
  • economical
