High-quality materials: Wear- resistant polyurethane combined with high carbon steel tension members delivers durabiliy and long serivce life.
Engineered to application requirements: Personalized support and extensive customizations result in short development timelines and belts designed around application-specific needs.
High-performance polyurethane belts for precision motion control.
Abrasion-resistant belt covers for improved grip, resistances, and product handling.
Specify belts exactly to your needs with a wide variety of customization options.
Supporting components and tools to design, install, and maintain timing belt systems.
ATN® Convertible Timing Belt Systems with replaceable profiles and toothbars allow users to adjust profile spacing and shape in applications that have varying packaging conveying needs, without replacing the base belt.
Popular for: Case erectors, carton filling machines, pouch indexing systems
Field connection timing belts utilize mechanical connections, such as connecting plates and threaded pins, to join belt ends in the field, simplifying repairs and replacement when belt access is limited. The resulting reduced maintenance needs minimize downtime, critical for high-volume packaging conveying systems. Field connections are not suitable for power transmission systems.
Popular for: High-cycle packaging machines, case packers
BRECOflex offers a wide range of timing belt covers that are bonded to belts to increase abrasion and chemical resistance, reduce wear, and support specific product handling needs. The additional layer of material can turn a stock timing belt into a solution tailored to the packaging environment.
A vulcanized nitrile material with good abrasion resistance and a high coefficient of friction resulting in stable product movement.
A textured PVC material that provides extra grip for lightweight and irregularly shaped products.
A textured PVC material with a high-friction surface, ideal for rising and incline product and packaging conveying.
BRECOflex offers application-driven customization options that support precise motion control, load capacity requirements, and positioning needs for packaging and material handling systems. Components are engineered to meet the specific mechanical and environmental requirements while maintaining quality and consistent performance.
Profiles (cleats): Abrasion-resistant welded polyurethane profiles provide controlled spacing, product separation, and repeatable positioning in packaging and material handling conveyors, supporting accurate transfer between machine stations. With over 2,000 stock profile shapes and adjustable height, width, thickness, chamfer, curvature, and hole placement, profiles can be tailored for pouches, cartons, bottles or cases. Fully custom designs accommodate unique product shapes or system layouts.
Machining: BRECOflex timing belts can be mechanically processed to meet the tight tolerances and functional demands of packaging and material handling systems and machines, including slitting and perforating for vacuum applications, lateral and longitudinal grooves for accurate product positioning and edge grinding minimize lateral movement in high-speed indexing and feeding systems.
Belt and tension member materials: Material selection directly determines a timing belt’s performance, repeatability, stiffness, and resistance to environmental exposures. With 11 polyurethane belt material options and four tension member materials, a custom belt can be designed to meet the required pitch and width, as well as performance demands and operating conditions of specific packaging applications.
Precision pulleys, tension meters, and our free online calculation tools make it easy to select, install, and maintain drive components for optimal performance.
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.
