Super Bands are a hook and loop technology used to replace poly o rings or enhance the maintenance schedule for conveyors in distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. The hook and loop is easy to install and requires no downtime on your conveyor system. Having them as an insurance program that if your poly o rings start to fail you can continue running. Keeping a bin full can save tens of thousands of dollars. The new anti-abrasion yarn is an improvement on our well know conveyor bands.

Polyurethane O-rings, urethane belts, and o ring drive belts are so hard to change. It also creates so much downtime. We didn’t want people to switch to hook and loop bands and then switch back to o ring drive belts a few months later. We wanted to give more time to be able to plan, and also to be able to make that decision if it was even worth going back to O Ring Drive Belts. In a demanding high volume distribution center, we needed a twisted O ring that would last longer. We needed a Super Band. We were feeling isolated from the outside world with Covid, so we dug deep within ourselves and our product. This research and design created the birth of the SUPER BAND. A hook and loop band made from a high tenacity, high abrasion resistant yarn. This is a direct replacement for O-ring drive belts, and urethane belts. We wanted something that could last in the most difficult running environments. And something that would cost less. A better band.

We have spent the last two years developing a SUPER BAND. A hook and loop band, or quick connect O Ring that will last longer on conveyors in distribution centers. One that will continue to reshape the material handling world that you and I live in. You probably know our cotton twisted O Ring with its easy-to-use hook and loop that replaces your o ring drive belt. It does great replacing polyurethane belts, but we wanted to do better. We wanted to get something out into distribution centers that could really last longer.  These Super Bands last a long time and enable distribution centers to better plan maintenance and schedule a better time to do O Ring Drive Belt maintenance when O ring drive belts start to fail. We recommend all distribution centers to keep 15-30% twisted O rings of any kind on the shelf. When a line shuts down, it costs tens of thousands of dollars up to millions every hour that product is not moving. The stress it causes to employees to try to change O Ring Drive Band is alot.
