TRANSDEV SPECIAL BELTS
Other Special Belts
TransDev Sausage Belts
Sausage belts
Synchronous, FDA approved material, moulded belt backings
for sausage machines. With a moulded backing, having no
overlap joint, belts can run in either direction, with no risk
of delamination.
‘The major cause of premature failure is unskilled staff
running belts in the wrong direction after cleaning.
Moulded backings stop this problem’

Antistatic Belts Sprayed
Dielectric materials, such as belt carcass materials, are by definition poor conductors of electricity. When such materials
are separated after contact with either a conducting material or another insulating material, a static electric charge can be
produced by the capacitance effect, which can lead to sparking or crackling.
When these electric particles discharge they can cause the following problems:
Destruction of sensitive electronic equipment
Risk of ignition or explosion of flammable materials
• Radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Risk of shock due to the high voltages generated
The British Standards BS2050 (1978) and DIN 22104 are the
recognized specifications which cover the test procedures and
accepted levels for rubber and Polyurethane timing belts relating
to antistatic properties.
TransDev has developed a post manufacturing electrically
conductive black coating which complies with the above
specifications and is available on all Polychloroprene type rubber
timing belts and currently on 3 different Polyurethane belt
substrates (All BRECO®/BRECOFLEX® & SYNCHROFLEX® belts).
The antistatic timing belt is, therefore, a specific and new
solution for all those who operate in hazardous industrial fields,
where static build-up would present potentially disastrous
circumstances (e.g. chemical, mining, oil and electronics).
Elimination of RFI also makes for easier FCC and CE certification.
It is obvious that during the working life of the drive that the
eventual reduction of conductivity means that the testing
of the belt’s resistance in a planned maintenance schedule
is important. TransDev is also able to supply you with
a belt surface conductivity tester.

• •
The maximum surface resistance for BS2050 is 5x106
x l/(8*b) Ohms and for DIN EN is 3 x 109 Ohms
Certification is available for all belt types
