When it comes to moving forests, this belt is the Master.
Apex TimberMaster belt has been designed for the challenging applications encountered in the timber industry, with a bare back for easy sliding on benches and metal surfaces.
Apex TimberMaster has a tough, nitrile-blended cover formulated to resist the terpene content of Radiata Pine sap.
Three (3) ply Apex TimberMaster can be hot and cold spliced, or mechanically fastened. As part of the Apex Stock Belt Range this belt is normally available from existing floor stock, so contact your local branch or distributor.
Pulley classifications
Type A – High tension, head, drive and tripper
Type B – Low tension, tail, bend and take-up
Type C – Low tension snub
Pulley diameters
Pulley diameters shown apply to belts operating at over 60% of maximum allowable working tension.
Diameters of all pulleys must be reduced by 20% where belts are operating at less than 60% of allowable working tension.
For belts at less than 30% of allowable tension, the diameters of Type A pulleys can be further reduced by 20%.
Working tensions
Working tensions assume a reasonably well maintained plant, with infrequent controlled starts and moderate impact. For more severe service, ie: poor loading, frequent loaded or DOL starts, short time cycles then reduce the above values by 15%. For extreme service, ie: poorly maintained plant, chemical aggression, bad loading and starting, then reduce the above values by 30%.
