Abstract
A belt includes at least one fabric having a first face and a second face parallel to a longitudinal plane of the belt, wherein the fabric includes: a first weft layer formed by a plurality of multifilament weft yarns essentially parallel to each other; a second weft layer formed by a plurality of monofilament weft yarns essentially parallel to each other, wherein the multifilament weft yarns of the first weft layer are overlapped with respective monofilament weft yarns of the second weft layer; and a plurality of multifilament warp yarns wherein the fabric has a weft dominance satin weave on both sides.
Claims4
A belt comprising:
- a first fabric,
- a second fabric,
- an intermediate layer of thermoplastic material arranged between the first fabric and the second fabric,
- a transport surface formed on the second fabric by a covering layer of thermoplastic material,
- wherein the first fabric has a first face and a second face parallel to a longitudinal plane of the belt,
- wherein the first face of the first fabric is in contact with the intermediate layer, and an impregnation layer is applied on the second face of the first fabric,
- wherein the first fabric comprises a first weft layer formed by a plurality of multifilament weft yarns and a second weft layer formed by a plurality of monofilament weft yarns,
- wherein the multifilament weft yarns of the first weft layer are overlapped on respective monofilament weft yarns of the second weft layer,
- wherein the first fabric has a satin weave on the first and second faces, the satin weave having a weft dominance on the first and second faces,
- wherein in an elementary weave unit of the first fabric including four weft yarns and four warp yarns, i) each warp yarn is intertwined with just one multifilament weft yarn of the first weft layer and with just one monofilament weft yarn of the second weft layer, and ii) on each face of the first fabric, intertwining points of the warp yarns are not aligned with each other in a longitudinal direction of the multifilament and monofilament weft yarns or in a direction perpendicular to the multifilament and monofilament weft yarns.
