ZipLink® Product Range
ZipLink® is a breakthrough in belting design that combines cover materials with a structured link mesh that can be easily spliced at any length into a continuous belt without the need for special tools, presses or other equipment.
ZipLink® Belts offer users in a variety of different industries an outstanding range of product benefits such as a more flexible design which allows for the repair or replacement of just small sections of the belt.
ZipLink® Belts
Our product range now includes over 30 problem solving belt constructions combining time tested rubber cover materials with a structured spiral link mesh that can be easily spliced at any length.
The ZipLink® construction eliminates points of weakness because there is no loss of strength in the splice area, making the belts stronger so they last longer than belts of other seamed or fused materials.
ZipLink® is based on a low-stretch polyester monofilament carcass, which offers very high lateral stability for ease of tracking.
It’s common for ZipLink® users to reduce the time and personnel required to change belts by more than half.
