SINGLE BUCKET

Belt fitting tension:

For correct mounting, the belt must be tensioned with the buckets fitted.
The fitting tension is to ensure belt driving on starting and its standing
stability, and also to eliminate the first part of permanent stretching by
obtaining the first 0.55% to 0.65% increase in belt length due to a tensi-
le stress proportional to type and width.

Stretching:
The rated operating tensions indicated in this document are at least
equal to the actual work rates, which may be applied to the belt at a
constant speed. The overall stretching for which the average value is
predetermined, is multiplied by the usage rate in % of standardised belt
operating tension (i.e. the ratio in % of actual work divided by the
OFFSET BUCKETS selected standardised operating tension).
The breaking load is at least 10 times greater than the rated operating
tension, allowing controlled stretching.
TRANSCO belts comply with the NF ISO 283 standard but their stret-
ching under the reference load is much less than the required standard.
