These reasons meant that users often chose fabric belts for high rated conveyor belts, though a steel cord belt would have done the job better.As steel cord belts have also matured as a technology, and with capacity addition, belt operators need not fear price or delivery reliability as a reason to stay with fabric belts. Forech can study your existing fabric belt, design a steel cord belt to replace it, and manufacture the replacement design.

Longer Life, Simpler Maintenance.

• Life can be 40% or higher than for a textile belt
• Less installation downtime per operating hour
• Far fewer joint failures leads to less downtime for joint repair
• Eliminate the danger of fabric plies separating from textile
  
  

The Benefits of Lower Elongation.

• The elongation of steel cord belts is 0.3% compared to 4% in NN belts
• Design your conveyor with a smaller take-up length
• Reduce energy losses from slippage over the pulley
• Run your conveyor at a faster speed

The Benefits of Improved Troughing.

• A steel cord belt can trough more easily than a textile belt
• Increase your throughput with the same width, or reduce the belt width to keep throughput the same
  

The Benefits of a Lower Rating

• Steel cord belts require a factor of safety of 6.67 whereas textile belts require a factor of safety of 10
• This means that you can use a lower rated steel cord belt to replace a fabric belt
• The minimum needed pulley diameter reduces
• Power consumption reduces
• Belt weight reduces

Other Technical Advantages

Lower Thickness, Lower Weight

• The steel cord replacement for a fabric belt will weigh less and have a lower thickness
• This can be true even when the steel cord replacement needs slightly thicker cover rubber
  
• The lower thickness and weight in turn lead to lower power consumption
• Improved throughput with lower power consumption: the conversion helps you on both sides of the ratio
• The higher the rating, the better the steel cord advantage
