The main ones include:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Wear &#8211; <\/strong>Belts are expected to <strong>wear down through normal use<\/strong>, but ensuring that the belt features a durable wearing cover will allow your operation to provide consistent friction across the whole belt surface. Regardless of the belt\u2019s lifespan, you can be sure that it will&nbsp;continue to operate normally, without causing problems for your packaging processes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Grip &#8211;<\/strong> Grip ensures that your <strong>material is conveyed properly<\/strong> through the process, and will prevent slippage, which can result in inefficiencies or damage to the package. <strong>Non-glazing compounds<\/strong> provide superior grip and abrasion resistance to increase the lifespan of your belts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Physical features &#8211;<\/strong> Certain materials and processes may require holes, slots, grooves, and various profiles of a form-fill-seal belt. These features must meet <strong>precise tolerances and specifications<\/strong> to provide reliable performance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Longevity &#8211; <\/strong>This is the most important factor for all FFS belts. During normal operation, belts receive constant wear and are <strong>required to last as long as possible to minimize downtime<\/strong>. These endless belts, and durable wearing covers also provide operators with consistent friction for their application.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Correct coefficient of friction &#8211;<\/strong> This is an important factor for belt systems in general, but especially for other applications such as <strong>bill validators<\/strong>, as they must be able to grab bills while maintaining the proper release to dispense them. Most OEMs utilize <strong>urethane or rubber compound materials to create this friction<\/strong>. We are proud to offer OEM-quality belting to ensure that your machine is outfitted with a belt <strong>meeting the highest quality standards<\/strong>. We understand the important design criteria for effective and consistent replacement belting so that machines continue to operate with original functionality.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact us for more information on our products and how we can help your business.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes a great bagger belt?
