Since 1984 SBS, has been committed to the development of the Sidewall Conveyor Belt system. S-Wall™ represents the latest developments in steep angle conveying using the Sidewall Conveyor Belt System.
S-Wall™ is the latest generation of Sidewall Conveyor Belts, and following a considerable investment programme we now produce the profiles at our new dedicated factory in Thetford, Norfolk, UK. The design of the new profiles and the equipment used in the production is of the highest technical standards. New revised polyester fabrics used in our range of cross-stabilised base belts mean higher rigidity values with very low elongation and newly developed rubber compounds for our Sidewalls and Cleats ensure they can withstand the high stresses imposed in high capacity steep angle conveying.
The assembly lines for complete belts has also received new investments for maximum quality standards and higher productivity. The recently installed computer controlled roughening machine can precisely roughen the base belt automatically and to an exact depth, important in ensuring maximum bond strengths. Additionally, we have recently completed the installation of our new hot vulcanised sidewall belt assembly line, enabling us to hot vulcanise sidewalls and cleats onto the cross-stabilised base belt for sidewall belts used in installations where high temperature is present.
