Quality Assurance
Sharp attention focused on quality and continual in-process testing and controls are the basis of the excellent products that offer safe and efficient operation. Orbit•NEC products undergo on-going quality checks in its well-equipped laboratories and shop-floors, from incoming raw materials to finished products.
- Incoming raw material – yarns and chemicals – are tested on arrival to verify the standards we established with our suppliers.
- Every finished roll is tested for conformity to physical property requirements established as our standard of excellence for every conveyor belt that is manufactured by Orbit•NEC.
- Physical properties include width, thickness (belt & covers), tensile strength (warp & weft), elongation (warp & weft), adhesion (cover to carcass and internal), fastener retention (static & dynamic), cover abrasion resistance, troughability, etc.
- FRAS tests include flame (finger burn), flame propagation (Mid-scale/B.E.L.T), drum friction and antistatic (static conductivity) as required by MSHA, CSA and others.
