Polyurethane transport timing belts

Linear Timing belts designed to carry loads are available in different pitches. Manufactured in lengths, they can be welded to the required length while maintaining 90% mechanical strength. For very demanding applications, they can also be made to length without splicing (Flex Belt).

Tanals is a Gates Fabricator for this type of product. We are the only "Fabricator" in France and are therefore fully authorised to calculate, recommend and convert these belts.

We can offer all the conventional coatings for transport Timing belts, in polyurethane, PVC, elastomer or foam.
We can superimpose several coatings and also offer our own polyurethane, which is particularly resistant to abrasion. Our polyurethane is available from 35° shore A to 55 shore D.

GeQo Drive^® is an 8M belt with an STD tooth form optimised to reduce noise. The teeth are offset and the tooth profile slightly modified.
(GeQo Drive^® runs on STD8M pulleys with offset teeth).

GATES TPU has designed dedicated WR Timing belts (T5, T10 and AT10) with no restrictions on direct contact with food, corrosive environments and regular cleaning. With embedded steel or aramid Cords.

Tanals offers belts specially adapted to the food transport of fish with rods, nails and cleats.

Cleats can be fused onto any PU Timing belt.

There are an infinite number of cleat possibilities: parallel, with holes, with inserts, complex shapes, 3D printed, machined or moulded.

Cleats are used to position and transport parts or packaging.

For Flex belts, steel or Kevlar® cord is used in closed loops to ensure maximum tensile strength.
Flex Timing belts are also available with woven polyamide on the teeth and/or the back of the belt.

We can manufacture any length between 1.5 and 22.5 metres.

Different grades of PU are available for special requirements, such as the food industry.

Various steel Cords options: standard, high strength, high flexibility or stainless steel.

Gates TPU wide belts (WH, WT10 and GMT3) are the ideal solution for conveying applications over 150 mm wide, with precise product positioning, uniform tension and smooth operation.

High-strength aramid Cords provide uniform belt tension for smooth operation.

High-strength polyurethane is cut-resistant and non-marking - an ideal belt for abrasive environments.

These wide, clean, abrasion resistance and smooth running belts offer easy replacement of plastic modular belts and conveyor belts.

This type of Belt is commonly used in applications such as transporting meat, sausages, cheese, fish, etc.

Food cutting machines (ham, fish fillets, sausages, etc.)

Gates TPU Synchro-Power GPP belts are high performance, high quality belts designed to improve precision at high speeds.

Standard GPP belts use steel reinforcement Cords to provide optimum tensile strength and allow smaller pulley diameters. Reinforced RSL belts have very high tensile strength and stiffness for high dynamic flexibility.

To ensure perfect guidance, timing belts can be fitted with a drive guide. Drive guides can be attached or co-extruded.

Coextruded drive guides :

The advantages of belts with co-extruded/integrated drive guides are lower manufacturing costs and better resistance of the guide over time. The drive guide is made from the same polyurethane as the Belt. However, not all tooth profiles are available.

Coextruded drive guides are notched to facilitate winding onto the Pulleys. This allows the use of smaller diameter Pulleys.

The modular Timing belt is designed to allow any cleat to be screw-fastened.

For transporting cylindrical or complex-shaped containers, we can offer belts with a hollow cover that is "inflated" like an inner tube to ensure that the products being transported can be easily grasped.
