Sidewall conveyor belt systems are among the most efficient means of transportation. Solutions that were unthinkable in years gone by are standard practice today thanks to new innovative research and development. At the forefront of current developments is Phoenix S-Wall. Among corrugated sidewall belts, the solution from Phoenix has been one of the market leading products for many years now. And while leading the way with a hot vulcanized bonding method, cold bonding is still very much a valid option for S-Wall. “This is a ‘best of both worlds’ approach for us. We offer a hot vulcanized product for specific applications, but we still achieve an extremely high bond strength with our cold bonded product. This allows us to offer a faster delivery time with a product that is easier to maintain at site“, explains Tom Webster, Sales & Application Engineer with Phoenix, Thetford.
