The life of a joint in splice jointed conveyor belting is increased by providing a belting wherein the joint is protected by a covering of a breaker fabric having substantially different stretch characteristics in warp and weft directions. A suitable breaker fabric is a warp knitted fabric having a warp to weft elongation ratio of from 1:2 to 1:30, preferably 1:3 to 1:20, for example approximately 1:15. The conveyor belting may comprise a solid woven textile fabric core impregnated and/or coated with polyvinyl chloride and the joint may be one formed by finger splicing. |
