Supporting components and tools to design, install, and maintain timing belt systems.
BRECOprotect® belts belts are engineered for FDA-compliant medical and pharmaceutical systems, making them ideal when frequent cleaning, sterilization, and hygiene standards are primary design concerns.
Popular for: Wash-down environments, pharmaceutical conveyors
ATN® Convertible Timing Belt Systems allows users to adjust the spacing and shape of replaceable profiles and toothbars, eliminating the need to replace the base belt in applications that require profile layout changes to meet varying product handling needs.
Popular for: Blister packaging lines, carton and case packing machines
move-series® belts prioritze strength and precision, making them ideal for medical diagnostic equipment with high cycle and repeatability needs. Engineered for high loads, reduced backlash, and superior wear resistance, move-series® belts offer:
Popular for: MRI and CT scan equipment, centrifudes, and surgical robotics
BRECOflex offers a wide range of timing belt covers that are bonded to belts to increase abrasion and chemical resistance, support specific product handling needs, and meet the regulatory requirements necessary in many medical and pharmaceutical applications. The additional layer of material can turn a stock timing belt into a solution tailored to the application environment.
An FDA-approved thermoplastic elastomer popular for general-use conveying with a moderately soft durometer rating and increased friction. Available in black and white.
An FDA-approved PVC material resistant to oils, greases, acids, and salts commonly found in food processing environments. Also available in blue.
A PVC material with a herringbone “V” pattern used when wet product handling, guiding, and debris channeling are required.
A textured PVC material with superior slip resistance for secure product conveying in FDA applications.
BRECOflex offers application-driven customization options that support precise motion control, load capacity requirements, environmental resistance, and regulatory compliance when standard belts are insufficient. Components are engineered to meet the specific mechanical and environmental requirements while maintaining quality and consistent performance.
Timing belt material: Material selection is critical to a timing belt’s performance, lifespan, and resistance to wear and environmental exposures. BRECOflex offers 11 different polyurethane options for timing belts, including FDA-compliant, anti-static, and temperature resistant materials, to meet specific application requirements.
Profiles: Food-grade welded polyurethane profiles provide controlled spacing, product separation, and positioning on conveyor systems. Over 2,000 stock profile shapes are available, with adjustable height, width, thickness, chamfer, curvature, and hole placement. Custom profiles can be engineered to meet specific material handling requirements or system layouts.
Precision pulleys, tension meters, and our free online calculation tools make it easy to select, install, and maintain drive components for optimal performance throughout the system lifecycle.
High-precision pulleys: Available in stock and fully customized designs, BRECOflex pulleys are engineered to engage precisely with timing belt teeth for reduced backlash and efficient power transmission. Choose from a variety of materials and finishes to meet environmental and mechanical requirements, including:
SM5 Tension Meter: Accurately measure static belt tension to prevent accelerated wear and premature belt failure.
