Endless vulcanized

An endless vulcanized belt is formed by diagonally stepping the belt ends, coating them with uncured rubber, and then hot-vulcanizing the entire section in a mold. This process creates a single, seamless joint that’s exceptionally strong and resistant to tearing and abrasion—particularly well-suited for heavy-duty applications. Because it arrives from the factory as a closed loop, bars (or rods) must be riveted onto the vulcanized section just like the rest of the belt. This design increases overall flexibility and durability, but note that not all machines can accommodate a fully endless belt. In setups where it fits, however, the endless vulcanized joint outperforms most other options in terms of long-term reliability and reduced maintenance.
