Protecting Your Conveyor Belts

You don’t buy conveyor belts with pocket change. They represent a serious investment. And they mean everything to the productivity of your operation.

That’s why protecting your conveyor belts is so important. And we can help.

Defender Plus and Monster Hide are two of Continental’s premium cover compounds. They deliver the ultimate belt protection, even in the harshest work environments.

When your belt features one of those Continental cover compounds, your operation costs drop. You’ll spend less money to move each ton of material because you won’t need to commit as much time and manpower to maintenance.

“Conti has a unique advantage in the market because they’re vertically integrated throughout the manufacturing process,” said Binkelman’s Mike Fiedler. “They control the quality, beginning with the R & D of the cover compounds. They own the mixing facilities that provide the raw materials used in the final product. That applies to all the compounds they manufacturer, including abrasion, heat, oil and flame retardant compounds.”

Defender Plus

The Grade 1 rubber used in the Defender Plus cover compound provides very good protection from cutting and gouging, excellent abrasion resistance and flex life.

Use Defender Plus when moving aggregate, cement, sand, gravel, steel, wood and packages. It’s also a good fit for power generation and coal prep plants, hard rock mining and recycling applications.

Monster Hide

Monster Hide can be used to move aggregate and wood products, as well as in hard rock mining.

Known for its ability to take a beating from large rocks, it provides the ultimate in cut and gouge protection.

“Each application should be evaluated to determine which compound will provide the lowest cost-per-ton of material conveyed,” said Fiedler. “The demands on individual belts are different, so it may be necessary to use many different compounds in each plant. The challenge is to make sure that you put the right compound in the right application and do not over or under-belt the individual applications.”
