Aramid Reinforced Belts
Staramid®
Staramid®
Dunlop Staramid has been specially developed as a lighter weight alternative to steelcord belt. It is designed for use on very long conveyors with centre distances of up to several thousand meters. The outstanding characteristics of the Staramid belt include low elongation and a low weight together with highly dynamic splice efficiency. Staramid belts have exceptional durability and in some cases have been known to operate for more than 25 years.

CARCASS CONSTRUCTION
The carcass is based on the ‘straight warp’ principle. Power transmission is effected through longitudinal Aramid cords. Aramid is made from heat-resistant, extremely strong synthetic fibers commonly used in aerospace and military applications including ballistic-rated body armor. On either side of the Aramid and nylon cords, there are transverse nylon cords. For particularly demanding applications it is possible to add extra transverse reinforcement without adversely affecting the belt’s longitudinal flexibility.
APPLICATION AREAS
Suitable for use in all areas including mining, fertilizer and quarry industries.
