Conveyor belts in the wood industry face significant challenges from heavy logs, timber, and other debris that can easily damage even the toughest belts. These belts require a robust carcass designed to withstand impact, ripping and tearing. For slider bed conveyors, the carcass must also provide enough lateral rigidity to ensure the belt lies flat. Additionally, covers must resist the damaging effects of oils that can cause swelling and distortion, leading to tracking problems, while maintaining performance in cold conditions.
