In the Flexseal manufacturing process, both edges of the belt are encapsulated in thermoplastic to seal fabric layers. The encapsulated edges create a more durable, hygienic construction that prevents fraying, wicking, and minimizes the potential for layer separation; serving to inhibit food contamination and enhance sanitation. Flexseal has proven to dramatically reduce the impacts of edge abrasion on Habasit, food-grade TPU belts.

Flexseal edges are ideally suited for bakery, confectionery, meat, poultry, dairy, fruit, vegetable, tobacco, and other agricultural processing applications, plus non-food applications that cannot tolerate the risk of belt-edge fraying.
