Conveyor Belts for Heavyweight Applications
Shipp Belting supplies heavyweight conveyor belts for bulk material handling in mining, aggregate, cement, power generation and steel mills, in tensile strengths from 150 PIW to 1000 PIW. Our team matches each belt to your material and operating conditions, with oil-resistant, fire-resistant and high-temperature covers available. We fabricate, splice and install heavyweight belting from our base in Waco, Texas, where Shipp has served industry since 1938.
We offer several splicing methods to fit your conveyor, including endless vulcanized splices, mechanical fasteners or lacing, and the Shipp Screw Splice.
With splicing and winding capabilities up to 96″, put our technicians and equipment to work for you.
