Orbit•Indica’s complete in-house manufacturing process including yarn preparation, compounding, weaving, FRAS impregnation and coating, and rubber cover application where required provide a wide range of custom belting technology.
- Solid woven carcass is tailor made to meet designed tensile strength to operate under rated tension carrying bulk material, to withstand impact and resist tear of falling material and have optimum elongation with adequate resilience built-in.
- Thicker FRAS Rubber covers on FRAS PVC compound impregnated solid woven carcass to allow higher coefficient of friction and longer tonnage handling over longer period of time.
- FRAS PVC compound impregnation and covers to give adequate consolidation to give optimum longitudinal and transverse flexibility to glide over conveyor system in both empty and loaded conditions, required fastener retention, protection of carcass and also flame retardant properties in case of any accidental fire.
- Proven experience in modification of plant and equipment to meet new customer demand.
- Well known for its delivering innovative products across a wide customer base
- Having firm belief in Quality and Customer Satisfaction.

While USA and Canada continue to use imperial units, other countries have changed over to metric units. South Africa uses the word ‘Class’ for belt designations while many other countries use the word ‘Type’. We at Orbit respect each country’s unique way of expression and service as per their requirements.
While the standard product range is after considering years of usage pattern in various countries, non-standard tailor made products can also be designed and manufactured on special request and mutual agreements.
Our unique in-house R & D facility helps in catering to every customer need to the best of our ability.
Orbit applies factor of safety of 10 (10:1) while designing and manufacturing any solid woven belt as a standard practice. However, we can consider, on user request, any special application requirement where the factor of safety is required to be changed.
Orbit designs, manufactures and supplies conveyor belts considering the users to be adhering to the installation, operating and maintenance practices as are commonly and widely known. However, we can provide such details on request.
Physical characteristics of the standard products thickness and weight, as in the following table, are nominal values and can change due to continuous R & D efforts or specific customer need. Buyers are advised to get the offered values reconfirmed before placing any orders.

notes(*):
- Nominal belt thickness and nominal belt weight figures are with 1.0 mm top and 1.0 mm bottom PVC covers. Values of both will alter with changes in top and bottom cover thicknesses.
- Customers are requested to verify the figures with Orbit of both belt thickness and belt weight before finalizing orders as these figures may undergo changes due to R&D activity and/or specific installation system requirement.
