The Federal line of conveyor belting gives high performance, long lasting service in bulk-haulage and bucket elevator applications under the severest operating conditions. This is a result of Federal’s special combination of tough synthetic fabric plies, superior adhesions and protective covers designed for specific belt applications.In conventional multiple – ply belting, the weight of the belt increases in direct proportion to the increase in the number of plies. The Belt gets heavier and bulkier as plies are added. Federal’s unique construction concentrates high strength in fewer plies so that the belt can be made with less weight and thickness than multiple-ply belts. This makes Federal Belting more flexible so that it can travel easily over smaller pulleys. The reduction in weight makes it easier to install and saves on the energy needed to drive the belt.
