Belting Fabrics
We don’t dig mines. We move the mining industry!
Overview
Whether it is in mines, steel, or cement industry, conveyor belts find application in transporting large quantities of material. SRF manufactures fabrics that provide reinforcement for these conveyor belts for more than 35 years now. Processed in multiple layers inside the conveyor belts, the belting fabrics are required to be resilient and offer requisite strength, functional characteristics and durability to the final product.
Our strength lies in customization of belting fabrics based on the end-user industry needs
SRF’s strength lies in the customization of belting fabrics based on the end-user industry needs, thereby offering a wide variety of designs and products for special applications like straight warp fabric, fabric for textile and steel pipe belts, rib check breaker, and more.
We serve customers in over 20 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, the USA and Latin America.
We manufacture spun aramid fabric, which is used as a reinforcement in rubberized hoses. Apart from these reinforcements, we also manufacture a wide variety of fabrics in combination with Polyester, nylon 6, nylon 66, – both multi & monofilament and steel for varied applications, including transmission belts. Further, we have expertise in designing and manufacturing various impression fabrics as required by our customers from time-to-time.
