Cross Rigid conveyor belts are designed and engineered for applications that take a sharp upturn, with a heavy cleat and /or corrugated sidewall. Cross Rigid belts add monofilament cross members to the standard conveyor belt fabric to increase the cross belt rigidity , but remain flexible on longitudinal direction. The increased rigidity prevents the belt from bowing or sagging during operating tensions caused by changes in horizontal / vertical direction and when supported on the return run from the edge of the belt. Cross Rigid belts resist the side-to-side flexing normally found in conventional conveyor belting, while maintaining the flexibility to allow normal movement around standard pulley diameters. Able to handle transitions while maintaining cross width stability. Able to take conveyor up a steeper incline when combined with cleats and sidewall. More flexibility with conveyor design.
