Belt names, decoded
A belt's name is its spec sheet in shorthand. Here is one taken apart.
- 3-PLY: three layers of fabric inside the belt carry the load.
- 330# PIW: rated working tension, 330 lb per inch of belt width.
- BLACK: the cover color.
- 3/16 X BARE: 3/16" of rubber on top, bare fabric underneath.
- MOR: Moderate Oil Resistant cover.

Lacing, fasteners and finishing
Every belt is cut to order, and we can finish it before it ships. Finishing is quoted to order, because sizes and options vary. Tell us your application requirements and we will recommend the right setup.
- Cut to size Your width and your length.
- Mechanical lacing Installed. Each belt's store page lists the lacing that suits it.
- Endless splicing Vulcanized or glued, for a seamless loop.
- Cleats and sidewalls Added to your dimensions.
- V-guides Bonded to the underside to help the belt track.
Lacing it yourself? Our belting accessories page covers Clipper and Alligator fastener systems, splice kits and belt adhesives.
Conveyor belting FAQ
What does PIW mean on a conveyor belt?
PIW stands for pounds per inch of width. It is the belt's rated working tension: a 330 PIW belt 24" wide is rated for 330 x 24 = 7,920 lb of working tension. Our belts run from 35 PIW for light package belts to 750 PIW for heavy PVC. See What is PIW? for more.
Do I need heavy duty or light duty belting?
Heavy duty belts have rubber covers on 2 to 4 plies, are rated 150 to 600 PIW, and need pulleys of 6" to 24". They handle bulk material, impact and abrasion. Light duty belts are thinner, rated 35 to 280 PIW, and run on pulleys as small as 0.75". They suit packages, food lines and slider beds.
What is PVC conveyor belting?
A PVC cover on an interwoven polyester carcass. It is tough and easy to clean, and comes in FDA-approved white, flame-resistant and static-conductive versions, and incline tops. Our PVC belts are rated 100 to 750 PIW.
Which of your belts are food grade?
Belts with FDA-approved covers: nitrile, white RMV rubber, butyl, PTFE (Teflon), white PVC and solid woven cotton. They are all in our food-grade category. If your line is also USDA-inspected, confirm the belt meets the rules for your product.
What does "3-ply 330" mean?
Three layers of fabric inside the belt, rated for 330 lb of working tension per inch of belt width. See the decoded example above.
What do COS, FS and FBS stand for?
COS is Cover One Side: rubber on top, a thin friction surface underneath. FS is a friction surface, a thin rubber skim instead of a thick cover. FBS is friction on both sides.
Can you cut belting to length and make it endless?
Yes. Every belt is cut to the length you order. We can also install mechanical lacing, splice it endless (vulcanized or glued), and add cleats, sidewalls or V-guides. Finishing is quoted to order; tell us your application requirements.
Can you match a belt from an old part number?
Usually. Send the name printed on the old belt, or a photo with its width, thickness and ply count, and we will find the closest current belt.
Do you ship belting outside the US?
Yes. Jealco has exported US-made industrial products since 1950, and we ship belting worldwide.
Not sure which belt? Ask us.
Send the application, the width and length, and a photo of the old belt if you have one. We will come back with a recommendation, not just a price.
