Next Generation Conveyor Skirting
Since its introduction over a decade ago, K-Superskirt® Engineered Polyurethane has revolutionised materials handling operations, providing superior belt protection, and effectively containing spillage and dust.
Highly durable and cost-effective K-Superskirt® lasts 8 to 10 times longer than traditional rubber skirting products. Independent laboratory tests have shown it outlasts similar polyurethane skirting products by at least four times, thanks to its superior abrasion resistance.
K-Superskirt® is designed to seal conveyor transfer points in diverse environments, from wet clay to iron ore. Its high tensile strength ensures effective containment of material loads while reducing dust leakage and preventing material spillage.
The low friction, nonporous properties of K-Superskirt® prevent fines from accumulating, reducing the risk of belt damage and creating less drag on the conveyor belt.
With K-Superskirt®, overall belt maintenance is reduced, and fewer changeouts are required for skirting replacement. This leads to significant cost and labour savings over time.
Key Benefits:
- Effectively contains spillage and reduces dust leakage.
- Offers up to 10 times better wear life than rubber.
- High tensile strength.
- Low friction, belt-friendly properties.
- High abrasion resistance.
- Suitable for all environments.
K-Superskirt® Engineered Polyurethane Defender
Skirt grooves are a common issue in conveyor systems, resulting from bulk materials and fines accumulation. These grooves pose significant risks to conveyor belts, leading to premature wear and unplanned downtime. When fines leak under hard skirts, they form abrasive clumps that rub against the belt’s top cover, exacerbating groove formation over time and causing irreversible belt damage.
K-Superskirt® Engineered Polyurethane Defender goes one step further with an enhanced design featuring a thicker bottom base specifically engineered to prevent material build-up from settling and sticking, thereby minimising the formation of skirt grooves, a leading contributor of belt damage.
