PERFORATED BELTS
CHIORINO belts can be perforated according to customized drawings. This procedure is performed so that belts have air suction to prevent the conveyed material from moving around; it is also carried out to allow cooling air to pass through.






SEALED EDGES
This is a procedure performed to protect the edges of PVC or polyurethane belts. The edge is protected to insulate the fabric structure from the infiltration of conveyed material in order to ensure a longer wear of the belt and to comply with standards on hygiene and with the HACCP concept.

CORRUGATED PROFILES
These are applied with a special procedure on PVC or polyurethane belts used to convey fruit. The special configuration of the profile deadens the impact of the conveyed product and prevents it from becoming bruised. The flexing of the profile during running allows the use of smaller diameter drums.

FINGER PROFILES
These are applied with a special procedure on PVC-W belts used in the fruit and vegetable industry on grading and sorting plants. They are made with a special compound resistant to low temperatures. The finger height is either 100 or 130 mm. With the 130 mm size the fingers are jointed by a reinforcement which limits flexing caused by the weight of the products.

GUIDE BUTTONS
In special instances when the belt must be kept perfectly in place, PVC or polyurethane guides can be replaced with excellent results by buttons. These buttons allow drums with smaller diameters to be used. Made of plastic, they are smooth-running and wear-resistant; they are riveted on the belt, on one or on both edges. At least three buttons must be in contact with the drum (fig. 2). Consequently the pitch between buttons will be determined by the roller diameter.
