What Are Black and Brown Nitrile Belts?

Black and brown nitrile FBS conveyor belts feature nitrile or neoprene rubber compounds on polyester fabric carcasses, providing excellent oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and consistent friction on both surfaces. FBS (friction both sides) construction ensures reliable grip between the belt and both the conveyor pulleys and the product being conveyed. These belts are available in 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 ply constructions for applications ranging from light package conveying to heavy industrial material handling. Texas Belting stocks black nitrile, brown nitrile, and neoprene FBS belts custom cut to width and fabricated to length.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FBS mean on a conveyor belt?+
FBS stands for Friction Both Sides. This means both the top (carrying) surface and the bottom (pulley) surface have a rubber friction cover. This provides reliable grip on both sides for consistent tracking and product handling.
What is the difference between nitrile and neoprene belt covers?+
Nitrile rubber offers superior oil resistance and is the standard choice for environments with petroleum-based oils and greases. Neoprene provides good general chemical resistance, weather resistance, and moderate oil resistance. Both offer excellent abrasion resistance.
What ply counts are available?+
Texas Belting stocks black and brown nitrile belts from 3 ply through 9 ply. Higher ply counts provide greater tensile strength and load capacity for heavier materials and longer conveyor runs.
Can these belts be used with oily materials?+
Yes. Nitrile rubber compounds are specifically designed for oil resistance. They maintain their physical properties and friction characteristics when exposed to petroleum-based oils, animal fats, and vegetable oils.
Are these belts flame retardant?+
Some specifications include flame retardant (FR) or self-extinguishing (SC) properties. Check individual belt specifications for flame resistance ratings. Neoprene inherently offers better flame resistance than standard nitrile.
How are black and brown nitrile belts spliced?+
Mechanical fasteners are most common for field installation. Vulcanized finger splices provide maximum joint strength for high-tension applications. Endless construction is available for applications requiring a smooth, splice-free belt surface.
