USFLEXⓇ

While traditional plied belting utilizes a conventional crimp-weave fabric in plain or crow’s foot patterns, the UsFlex straight-warp carcass construction incorporates a completely different concept. The lengthwise and crosswise belt strength is concentrated in parallel planes of heavyweight, high-tenacity straight yarns which are then locked together by a unique binder system. Each of these planes provides the reinforcing effect of multiple plies of conventional fabric with no crimping to weaken the yarns. The carcass binder system acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact and puncture.

Straight-warp Construction

While traditional plied belting utilizes a conventional crimp-weave fabric in plain or crow’s foot patterns the UsFlex® straight-warp carcass construction incorporates a completely different concept. The lengthwise and crosswise belt strength is concentrated in parallel planes of heavyweight, high-tenacity straight yarns which are then locked together by a unique binder system. Each of these planes provides the reinforcing effect of multiple piles of conventional fabric with no crimping to weaken the yarns and cause stretch. The carcass binder system acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact and puncture.
