Rounthane - Extruded Round Belting

Rounthane is extruded round thermoplastic belting. This versatile product is simple to install and maintain in both conveying and power transmission applications.

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.

Ruffthane - Textured Round Extruded Belting

Use Ruffthane 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., multiple strands of Ruffthane may be used to replace flat conveyor belts.

Characteristics

Veethane - Extruded V-Belting

Veethane belting is a thermoplastic extrusion. It combines strength with flexibility. It has a coefficient of friction greater than rubber, and also maintains its characteristics over a wide temperature.

Characteristics
Far tougher than rubber Chemical resistant FDA/USDA accepted

 

Applications
Tile Manufacturing Light Duty Drives Package Handling Food Industry

Because Veethane is made from a pure Polymer, it has a nonporous surface which will not attract lint or dust, absorb fats or greases, or harbor bacteria. Veethane is supplier in 100ft rolls. The user can cut Veethane to length and heat seal it, even on enclosed drives, so inventory problems and downtime are reduced.

Types of Veethane:
There are three types of Veethane. Yellow standard Veethane is urethane and primarily used for conveying applications. It is highly flexible and heat resistant. FDA/USDA Clear Veethane has the same basic composition and performance characteristics as Standard Veethane and is accepted for food applications. Hi-Cap Veethane, extruded from Polyester, is primarily for power transmission applications. It is virtually impervious to common industrial contaminants that can weaken or destroy rubber v-belts. And because Veethane has no internal cords, it can absorb sudden shocks without stretching or breaking. It is accepted by the FDA/USDA for use in the food industry.

Conveying Applications:
Veethane has a high resistance to wear and can be used to convey abrasive material such as cinder blocks, grinding wheels and objects made of glass, metal or plastic. Veethane is non-marking, so it is excellent for conveying paperboard packages. The pentagonal Veethane is ideal for conveying glass or tile.

Power Transmission Applications:
Hi-Cap Veethane can replace belts in many drive applications. Matched sets of Veethane are easy to install on multiple belt drives by measuring them to the same length before bonding. Veethane should not be installed in cross drive applications or as a “slip” clutch.

REINFORCED EXTRUSIONS
 

Fast, Easy Splicing:
You won’t lose hours of production waiting for steel cable to be braided. With our tool kit, anyone can make a perfect splice in less than 15 minutes….virtually eliminating downtime! And the cables lighter weight makes installations safer too. Urethane can be joined using only a heat paddle.

Stretch-Resistant
Because of their exceptionally strong reinforcement, Shingle extrusions keep their shape, maintain their tension, and will not stretch even under the stress of heavy loads. That means no surge, les downtime, fewer “knockdowns” and better productivity.

 

CAN CABLE - Polyester or Steel Reinforced Hi-Cap (click here to view CAN CABLE FLYER)

Shingle Can Cable is manufactured from polyester resin, thermally fused to a durable core to provide consistent reinforcement the entire length of the cable.
 

Characteristcs
Outperforms nylon/steel and other plastic cables Eliminates rusting, stretching Splices easily in minutes Increases productivity Reduces neckdown

 

Applications
Canneries Dairies Olive Sizing Equipment Blow-molded Bottle Lines

Reduces neckdown:
All the problems usually associated with "neckdown", stretching, uneven cable surfaces, jam-ups, excessive breaks, downtime for re-splicing are significantly reduced.

Faster, easy splicing:
With our can cable tool kit, anyone can make a splice in less than 15 minutes, and the cable’s lighter weight makes installations safer too.

Stretch-resistant:
Shingle Can Cable will not stretch under the stress of heavy loads. That means no “cable surge”, less downtime, fewer "neckdowns" and better productivity.

Rust and moisture resistant:
There’s no Nylon cover to strip off, no exposed steel to rust or cause rim burn. Thermoplastic will not absorb water or oil. Shingle Can Cable is particularly well suited for dairies because it is impervious to the acidic atmosphere than can rot nylon and rust steel cables.

Abrasion-resistant:
Shingle’s tough thermoplastic formula resists damage even under the abuse of raw-edged cans.

Cuts noise:
Shingle Can Cables smooth surface virtually eliminates the noise commonly associated with steel.

Saves energy:
Since Shingles thermoplastic cable is only one-third the weight of steel cable, there is less energy consumption and greater energy savings.

V-Guides – Tracking Guides for Conveyor Belting (click here to view V-GUIDE FLYER)


Shingle Belting’s PVC V-Guides are extruded from superior PVC compounds. Our PVC V-guides are much more cost effective because they can be applied with less heat; which decreases the damage to the belt’s carcass, they will not crack or delaminate and they have good resistance to heat and oils.
 

Types of V-Guides:

For the average V-Guided belt, the V-Guide represents a small portion of the total belt cost. Why risk costly belt failures with inferior, clay-filled V-Guides?

FLEX CLEAT - 4”plus, double-footed cleat (click here to view FLEX CLEAT FLYER)

Flex Cleat is an innovative double-footed cleat that provides maximum flexibility with minimum inventory cost. Because of the unique design, stocking one 4” high HF cleat is the equivalent of stocking a range of individual heights. Just slit to the size required, and then use the remaining material for other heights..
