Open Mesh Breakers (Omb)
The greater distance rubber is from the carcass, or stabilizer, the less effective it is for abrasion, cutting or gouging. For that reason, in very thick covers an internal stabilizer with open flow construction is often added.
Advantage
- Increased cut and gouge protection
Textile Cord Breakers (B)
Most often used in textile belts because its adhesion is equal to the textile carcass. It can be used as a method of increasing load support and impact resistance, yet not compromising flexibility around pulleys.
Advantage
- Increased load support, impact, puncture and rip resistance
Elastic Steel Cord Breakers (Plus)
PLUS breakers utilize specially wound elastic steel cords that create a shield for the carcass from sharp cutting and impacting objects, thus improving belt puncture resistance. They also increase load support without any compromise of minimum pulley diameters. The natural adhesion of steel to rubber is as much as 50 times that of textile making the product robust with extreme adhesion integrity.
Advantage
- Increased puncture resistance and load support without the need to increase pulley size
Endurastable Breakers (AS)
The ENDURASTABLE steel cord breakers have been designed to create an internal environment in a troughed belt that gives it self tracking properties, it is also capable of providing much higher belt troughability.
Advantage
- Self tracking, deep troughability
Endurastable Breakers (M)
A textile option for lighter weight fabric belts. Excellent resistance to wandering.
Advantage
- Self tracking, deep troughability
