SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION!
Engineered to Provide Unrivaled Rip, Tear and Impact Resistance
Fenner Dunlop's unique straight-warp UsFlex® carcass is constructed to provide:
- High strength and minimal stretch or elongation when conveying large loads.
- Excellent load support combined with outstanding troughability due to its lightweight, flexible design.
- Longitudinal rip resistance five times that of multi-ply belts of equivalent rating.
- Impact resistance up to three times greater than that of conventional plied belting resulting in less damage to the belt.
- Performance to the Power3

The combination of our straight-warp UsFlex® carcass with specially compounded rubber covers creates the toughest conveyor belt available today.
Straight-warp Construction
| While traditional plied belting utilizes a conventional crimp-weave fabric in plain or crow's foot patterns the UsFlex® straight-warp carcass construction incorporates a completely different concept. The lengthwise and crosswise belt strength is concentrated in parallel planes of heavyweight, high-tenacity straight yarns which are then locked together by a unique binder system. Each of these planes provides the reinforcing effect of multiple plies of conventional fabric with no crimping to weaken the yarns and cause stretch. The carcass binder system acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact and puncture. |
Balanced Covers
Balanced cover ratios are extremely important in conveyor belt manufacturing. Conveyor belt cupping, curling and tracking problems are greatly reduced with a well-balanced conveyor belt. UsFlex® takes this concept a step further by incorporating a top to bottom cover thickness ratio that will insure correct troughability in the most stringent appications.
UsFlex® "S" Series (single unit construction):
Available in widths to 84" with tension ratings to 550 PIW (96 kN/m) and manufactured with pulley cover gauge at least one half of the carry cover gauge.
Example - 1/16" x 1/16", 1/8" x 1/16", 3/16" x 3/32", 1/4" x 1/8"
UsFlex® "D" Series (dual unit construction):
Available in widths to 84" with tension ratings to 1500 PIW (262 kN/m) and manufactured with pulley cover at least one third of the carry cover gauge.
Example - 3/16" x 1/16", 1/4" x 3/32", 3/8" x 1/8"
The Right Belt for the Job
A wide variety of rubber covers can be applied to the UsFlex® carcass to safely convey products like hard rock, coal, impact minerals, ores, logs, aggregate and grain.
