GRT FlexKing® Elevator

GRT FlexKing Belts for Elevator Service give superior service life in a myriad of applications ranging from grain handling to crushed stone. The fabric design and its’ inherent strength allow the proper FlexKing Elevator Belt to provide excellent bucket holding ability, flexing strength, and long service life.

Benefits

  • Superior service life and hazard resistance
  • Excellent bucket holding capability, flexing strength, and small pulley flexing capability
  • Wide range of configurations—can be custom-designed and special-ordered

Fastener Selection
The minimum ply-construction of FlexKing® elevator belts is thinner than that of conventional belts which FlexKing® may be replacing; therefore careful selection of bucket bolts is critical.

The "A" dimension (see drawing) should be at least 1/16" (1.6 mm) shorter than the total gauge of FlexKing® belt. The "B" dimension (see drawing) should be at least 1/16" (1.6 mm) shorter than total dimension of belt, bucket wall, and washers.

You should tighten the nuts to ensure good set and proper compression; then retighten after elevator begins operation—at least once in the first 24 hours.
