ZIPGUIDE Special Open-Ended V-Belts
ZIPGUIDE conveyor V-belts, featuring a premium top layer and ZIPLINK connection technology, were originally designed for the ceramic tile industry.

ZIPGUIDE belts are manufactured as open-ended lengths in standard profiles: 13 × 8 (13/A), 17 × 11 (17/B), and 22 × 14 (22/C).
