World Most Powerful Dynamic Splice Tester
Proving Flexsteel belts and splices for your next generation designs. Larger and more powerful than the University of Hannover's testing machine in the world capable of proving splice efficiencies over ST8000.
Finite Element Analysis
Bringing new products to market faster
Uses throughout our entire development process, finite element alalysis
correlates data to actual manufacturing, processing and field performance
before a belt or splice design is ever attempted. The end result is an
optimized product and a reduced development cycle, allowing us to bring
superior products to the market more quickly.
Steel Cord Dynamic Adhesion Tester
Pushing technology to test real life satisfaction
A belt ability to endure constant flexing is critical to its success.
That's why Goodyear introduced this advanced testing system which tests
rubber to steel cord adhesion integrity.

Goodyear's Scanning uses proven, advanced technology to provide comprehensive, user friendly colour graphics of every splice, as well as cord condition throughout the belt. |
FlexSteel Conveyor Belting
Snubs are defined as having 150mm or less belt contact and tension less than 50% of belt rating. Pulley sizes for FlexSteel belts are determined by face pressure on the pulley and/or pulley to cord diameter ratio.

 |
Excellent Fastener Holding Retention | High Strength nylon fill cords enhance mechanical fastener holding ability and resist fastener pull-out for reliable performance and increase uptime. |
 |
Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance | Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and the recover their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and resist tearing for long lasting durability and lowest cost-per-tonne conveyed. |
 |
High Ultimate strength | Pylon withstand severe tension spikes at start-up, retains mechanical fasteners and withstands continuous flexing around pulleys. This higher ultimate strength makes a critical difference in abusive conditions. |
 |
Reduced stretch | The combination of fabric design and dip process provides less elastic and permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns and reduces the number of splices at break-in. Contact your local Goodyear representative to calculate permanent and elastic elongation requirements for your specific systems. |
 |
Standard bias step splices | A quick and effective technique, step splices greatly reduce downtime and are recognized throughout the industry as the standard. The vulcanized splice in Pylon retains 100% of belt tension rating during all running conditions. |
 |
Variety of Cover Compounds and cover gauges | Protect your product with the proper compounds and cover gauge for the application. Pylon has the flexibility to customize a belt to your application. |
Cover Compounds
Goodyear's superior compounds protect the belt carcass longer so that you get the lowest cost per tonne and your system requires less maintenance.

Sensor Guide with RFID Technology
Major conveyor belt rips, cut deeply into profiability, just as they do into your belt. That's why Goodyear turned to cutting-edge technology to create Sensor Guard®, the stae-of-the-art belt rip protection that starts protecting the minute your conveyor starts.
Updated high performance loops (or antennas) are made with new stainless material offering improved durability. Reduces downtime due to external noise and/or damaged loops. Each loop has its own ID, so the belt canbe stopped at a precise spot in order to fix problems.
Monitor your belt whenever and from whereever. Remote Sensor Guard® locations, enhance the system with RFID with an ethernet card that allows for remote mobile monitoring using your local network and web browser. You can be anywhere on site including the office and still monitor he condition of the belt more frequently.
