Continental's patented RAPTOR® Belting uses 100% polyester filament fabric with a friction coating capability. Filament will always outperform a similar spun fabric with higher tensile, tear, and puncture resistance; the fabric is also less volatile in pricing and is more readily in supply. Until RAPTOR® technology, it was nearly impossible to friction coat filament fabric because the surface was too smooth for the rubber to form a strong bond. Our draper features a friction coat on the underside of the belt which reduces weight and drag, and it uses a skim coat on the topside of the belt for optimal protection. RAPTOR® draper belting has higher strength properties, superior durability, and has more stable market pricing compared to other conventional draper options.
Continental’s RAPTOR® draper belting also features an innovative teardrop-shaped fiberglass reinforcement rod inside of the cleat for increased stiffness, making the RAPTOR® significantly stiffer in the cross direction than its competition.
This belt comes with the connector bars, tubes or pins used for installation.
