Belts for Loading and Unloading Aircraft

Description
The impact of rain, snow, hail and ultraviolet rays requires the fabrics and coating materials to be weatherproof. A robust, puncture-proof belt has to be able to absorb the high levels of mechanical stress when items of baggage are thrown onto it. Inclined conveying requires sufficiently high friction coefficients to ensure reliable grip.
Belts with robust fabrics and weatherproof coating materials ensure conveying is reliable and doesn’t disrupt operations. The most suitable ones are Transtex types from the PHR line that often have rough top (AR) or nonslip coatings.
