  • Durable
  • FDA/USDA accepted
  • Reduces inventory problems
  • Easily made endless
  • Tile/Glass Conveying
  • Mail Sorting Applications
  • Can Conveying
  • Laundry Applications
  • Metal Detectors
  • Food Industry


Types of Rounthane:

  • HOLLOW - Furnished in yellow or clear
  • SOLID - Furnished in yellow, orange, clear and ivory
     

Conveying Applications:
Use Rounthane to replace flat belts, rubber v-belts and rubber or leather round belts. It is ideal for complex systems involving multi-directional conveying. When conveying material like glass, tile, polished metal, etc., Rounthane offers the advantage of minimal surface contact. It is a favorite in the food processing industries since it will not harbor bacteria and is easy to clean. Multiple strands of Rounthane may be used to replace flat conveyor belts.

Power Transmission Applications:
Hi-Cap Rounthane offers the advantages of easy, quick installations and long life in light duty applications. Its friction characteristics are excellent. Do not use Hi-Cap Rounthane where clutching or slipping is required.
