What enables the Continental HAC system to eliminate relative movement between material and belts?
Fully-equalized pressing mechanism
How does the POCKETLIFT system allow for assembly and disassembly of conveying components?
Individually, due to fabric reinforced rubber pockets bolted at the center of cross bars
Which component of the Continental HAC system is responsible for gently sealing the belt edges together?
Pressing components
Why does the HAC system not confront materials but rather conform to surface shapes?
To eliminate high local forces on materials
