Frayless conveyor belts 

Esbelt Frayless (FL) belts are made with special fabrics that minimize belt fraying. This reduces the risk of contamination by fibers, that may detach from the fabrics due to lateral friction of the belt against the conveyor and mix with the conveyed product. 

Thanks to this frayless feature, in some cases, it is possible to avoid sealing of belt edges. 

Currently, we have 3 ”frayless”(FL) conveyor belts.   All of them are from our Premium TPU range with antimicrobial and anti-hydrolysis properties, making  their safety and hygiene performance unbeatable.

Success cases of frayless belts: 

Application: cutting of full-fat cheese dough. 

Result: After installing our NP10UFMT-AM-FL, the end-user noticed a qualitative and economical improvement.  This Esbelt belt is thinner than the previous one and the belt edges do not curl up and remains completely flat thanks to its rigid weft.  Due to the frayless  fabrics, it was not necessary to seal the belt edges.
