Tunneling can present many difficult challenges and requires a specialized belt to deliver ultimate performance in this rugged conveying environment. Fenner Dunlop Engineered Conveyor Solutions has developed Wearlok® for this very reason.
Wearlok® has been specifically designed for tunneling applications and has proven to be one of the most reliable belts out there. The unique straight-warp design makes for a stronger, more durable belt providing extended life, high load-carrying capacity, and low stretch.
Wearlok® possesses many unique features and benefits including:
- Resistance to abrasion, snagging, and cutting.
- Up to three times greater impact resistance than conventional belts.
- Up to six times better rip and tear resistance.
- Heavyweight and high-strength straight yarns bound together in unique binder system.
- Well-balanced conveyor belt, which lowers the risk of cupping, curling, and tracking problems.
Wearlok® is manufactured in two ways. Wearlok® I uses a pulley cover gauge at least one-half (1/2) the carry cover gauge and Wearlok® II uses a pulley cover gauge at least one-third (⅓) the carry cover gauge.
Wearlok® is made with Fenner Dunlop’s premium Mining-FAR compound:
- Fire retardant, abrasion resistant compound that meets ARPM-FR Class 2 requirements
- Excellent abrasion resistant cover compound for tunneling and mining applications
- For underground, non-coal mining applications
