The MAXX SHIELD belt is mainly designed to prevent belt failure due to entrapment of tramp material causing longitudinal cut or ripping of the entire belt. The loss due to such breakdowns is very high considering the entire length of belt which is lost and the ensuing production loss due to the unpredictable failure.
A specially designed steel breaker fabric is embedded in the top rubber cover. The steel cord running across the width of the belt arrests ripping, dislodges the tramp material out and thereby prevents longitudinal cut of the belt. If there is a history of belt ripping in any particular installation, we strongly recommend our MAXX SHIELD belt.
