Excellent rip, tear and impact resistance
Specially designed crimped warp cords straighten on impact and then recover
their original shape. This enables the fabric to absorb greater impact loads and
resist tearing for long-lasting durability and a lower cost-per-ton conveyed.
Reduced stretch
The combination of fabric design and dip process provides less elastic and
permanent elongation on all specifications. This minimizes take-up concerns
and reduces the number of splices at break-in. Contact your local Goodyear

Impact Resistance
At Goodyear Engineered Products, our underground belts come well prepared to withstand
the worst. Thats because loading impact damage, a major cause of belt failure, is already
assessed and predicted at our Technical Center laboratory. During the design phase, our
design engineers utilize an enhanced Dynamic Impact Tester to accurately simulate loading
COAL QUEST
impact force and its effects on belting. It is information like this that contributed to the
design of our Triple-Warp fabric weave.
Tear Resistance
A misaligned belt can suffer edge tears by running into the structure. Tears can also occur as
a result of material punctures. Thanks to the extremely high transverse tear strength of Coal
Quest belts, these occurrences are minimized and contained.
Rip Resistance
Scrap metal and other debris can penetrate and greatly damage a belt. If these foreign objects
get hung up in the structure, it can lead to equipment damage, material spillage and even slits
or cuts in long sections of the belt. The Triple-Warp fabric design of Coal Quest belting helps
dislodge and expel foreign objects and contain rips to a small area.
Fastener Retention
The mechanical fastener splices of Coal Quest belts are rated at 100% of the rated working
tension. At Goodyear EPs world-class Technical Center, these splices have undergone
rigorous dynamic and static testing, which enables the belt to offer superior mechanical
fastener retention vs. multi-ply and straight-warp constructions.

Excellent Adhesion
The adhesion values of Glide Plus belting help reduce edge separation and
prolong splice life, thereby preventing premature belt failure. High levels of
adhesion help to prevent idler junction failure by providing increased load
GLIDE PLUS
support over the idler junction gap. And by reducing the risk of delamination,
the belts high adhesion values help extend belt life.
Rip Resistance
Often times, scrap metal and debris become lodged in the conveyor belt
structure. When this happens, equipment damage, material spillage and even
long cuts in the belt can occur. The double-faced twill weave design found in all
Glide Plus belting helps dislodge and expel foreign objects from the system,
while keeping belt rips confined to a small area.
Transverse Tear
Thanks to the double-faced twill weave design of Glide Plus belts, belt tears
and material punctures are kept to a minimum. Should they occur, however,
the belts unique twill weave design keeps them contained to help maintain
your conveyor systems productivity.
Vulcanized Splice
Splice longevity and integrity is assured in normal running conditions up to
100% of the belts rated tension. This means minimized downtime.
Fastener Retention
The unique twill weave design enhances fastener holding ability and helps
to expel any foreign objects that may penetrate the belt.

FLEXSTEEL
DESCRIPTION:
Since we introduced the world's first steel reinforced belt to the material handling industry in
1942, we have continued to advance the technology to satisfy the most demanding and abusive
conveyor applications. Using state-of-the-art technology, we ensure superior product design
FLEXSTEEL
and maximum performance for our customers. Shipping from five production plants on four
continents, Flexsteel remains our premium global product. Our Worldwide Engineering Group
continues to design Flexsteel specifications that will provide a lower cost-per-ton of material
conveyed for each customer's unique system.

FLEXSTEEL
Flexsteel's high-tension capabilities permit extremely long centers,
exceptionally high lifts, and multiple horizontal curves. This allows the
designer to reduce the number of transfer points to minimize a major source
of maintenance headaches and downtime.
Life-long Splices
Our proven splicing methods, validated on Goodyear EPs Two-Pulley Splice
Tester, result in dynamic splice efficiencies in excess of the 50% rating defined
in DIN 22110 Part 3. With proper technique, splices on Flexsteel belts should
last the life of the belt. And when your belt is expected to last 20 years, thats
a long time.
63
F L E X S T E E L
Lower Cost-per-Ton
Fewer conveyors and splices, shorter take-ups, and reduced belt inventory add
up to significant cost savings right up front. Longer belt life, life-long splices,
excellent belt training, and reduced downtime save you even more down the
road. It all adds up to the a lower cost-per-ton of material conveyed, which can
make a major improvement in your bottom line.
Sensor Guard is now available with RFID technology to quickly identify the location of rips.
See page 82 for details.

F L E X S T E E L
Flexsteel is also the preferred belt on long overlands and short Stacker systems where minimum belt elongation
is a critical design consideration. Flexsteels steel cord reinforcement elongates a maximum of .25% at rated
tension, allowing for acceptable take-up travel design on long overlands, as well as short Stacker/Reclaimer
systems.
Goodyear EP has the capability to manufacture Flexsteel belts in long lengths up to 168 (4.2m) roll diameters, or
50 short ton (45.4 M.T.) rolls at some production locations. This allows for the minimum number of slices or
FLEXSTEEL
joints in a conveyor system, which facilitates faster installation while providing a more reliable system.
Specialized oblong packaging is available to further maximize belt lengths.
Additional time can be saved during installation by using another Goodyear EP innovation, Preform Splice kits.
Like the name implies, Preform is a pre-grooved form that simplifies splicing by allowing you to sandwich
the cables coming from either side between the formed rubber. Not only is the process of splicing made easier,
but the belt itself is made stronger.
You can depend on Flexsteel steel cord belts to be precisely engineered to meet rigorous manufacturing
standards. Rely on Flexsteel for strength, durability and ease of installation.
There are three component parts to Flexsteel belting, each one critical to belt performance:

Preform
New Preform Patented Splice Technology Improves Splice Strength, and Saves Time!
There have been significant technical advancements in steel cord belt splicing in the past several years. Goodyear
Engineered Products patented Preform splices provide improved splice efficiency, along with reduced splice
time, and improved performance. This means more dollars in your pocket.
Conventional splice methods involve the use of cements and rubber noodles.
Cement drying time extends the overall splicing time, while providing the
opportunity for increased contamination. The alternative laying of
cord and noodle, further extends splice time, as constant
chalk line checking, and adjustment to the noodle width is
FLEXSTEEL
necessary to maintain cord alignment. Cord misalignment
and contamination are critical factors in the resultant
splice performance.
Preform Panel
The above cross-sectional view illustrates the Preform concept, and is not representative of an actual splice.
This illustration shows how the top and bottom multi-groove panels encase each cord, eliminating the need
for noodles and ensuring cord alignment. [In an actual splice, cords would lead in from both belt ends, and
the cord ends would not be wrapped as shown.]
Improved Performance
Testing on the 2-Pulley Dynamic splice tester at the Goodyear EPs Technical Center in Marysville, Ohio, shows
the results of two identical belts, one spliced using Preform, and one spliced using conventional splicing methods.
This one test shows the Preform splice to withstand 33% more load cycles, or a theoretical 33% longer service
life, than the conventional splice. Static pull splice strength tests conducted at an independent laboratory
showed the Preform splice to be at least 10% stronger than a
conventional splice.
LESS DOWNTIME
Savings
Goodyear EPs Preform splices have been made successfully in MORE
many countries around the world. Savings of 16% to 25% were UPTIME
based on actual filed measurements, comparing one splice
Conventional
technique versus the other, on the same belt, at the same time.

Snubs are defined as having 6" or less belt contact and tension less than 50% of belt rating. Pulley sizes for Flexsteel belts are determined by face pressure on the pulley and/or the
pulley-to-cable diameter ratio. All pulleys must be flat as crowned pulleys will cause excessive center tension in the high modulus steel cable product.

SENSOR GUARD
At Goodyear Engineered Products, we know that even with a quality belt, a soundly engineered system and an effective pre-
ventative maintenance program, any conveyor system can suffer belt rips. As conveyors get longer, 3,000 HP and higher
drives become more common, generating tensions in the hundreds-of-thousands-of-pounds range (700+ KN range). Even
the most advanced belt constructions are designed to withstand ripping forces totaling only
1/10 the force generated in actual service.
The detectors are hard-wired to the control
unit and transmit pulses every
time a loop is detected.

Investing in Research and in You.
Every day, our on-going commitment to research pays off for Goodyear Engineered Products underground conveyor belt
customers worldwide. Its demonstrated in part by a $5 million plus investment in our state-
of-the-art Worldwide Conveyor Belt Technical Center in Marysville, Ohio.
With these advanced facilities and equipment at their disposal, our research and
development team creates new products, cutting-edge technologies, and improved quality
assurance measures. This enables Goodyear EP to bring unique products to market faster
than ever, while continuing to deliver conveyor belt that provides the industrys lowest
cost-per-ton capabilities. In short, by increasing an already strong research and development
drive, we ultimately increase your efficiency and decrease your downtime.
Heres a brief look at some of the many investments we have made.
Instron 5500R
Increasing your uptime by reducing rips and tears.
How often is your conveyor down due to rips and tears? Our Instron machine is used to
develop stronger belts with some of the industrys best rip, tear, and fastener pullout
properties. Goodyear EPs Conquest, Coal Quest, and Conquest LW belts are all prime examples.
Tests: ASTM 378-12, 16, & 18: ISO 283, 505, & 1120; AS 13334.3 & .8; DIN 22102-2.6,
22110-6.1; Goodyear EP developed test standards.

Dynamic H Block Tester
Increased integrity means longer life.
At Goodyear Engineered Products, we know that each cords adhesion to
the insulation gum is critical to a steel cord belts performance better
adhesion means better load sharing, corrosion resistance, and idler junction
performance to name just a few of the benefits. Thats why this test was
developed to simulate the real-life, dynamic conditions that a belt experiences.
Tests: AS 1333-6.10
Impact Tester
Developing belts that take a beating.
Many material handling applications experience belt punctures that typically
occur in the loading zone. Therefore, we developed this machine to dynami-
cally test a belts ability to withstand impact damage. Case in point, our
patented Triple-Warp fabric used in Conquest, Coat Quest, and Conquest
LW belts.
Tests: Goodyear EP developed test standards.
