Sealed edges
This is a procedure performed to protect the edges of
CHIORINO 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.

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.
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.
