<p>A double-scrim belting (10) is described having a first woven scrim (12) and a spaced apart and substantially parallel second woven scrim (14) connected by staple fibers (16) consolidated together through entanglement and integrated with the scrims through entanglement, both entanglements being of the kind typically produces by needling. If desired, a non-woven web of staple fibers is needled to the outer surfaces of the scrims and the thusly formed belting is completely encapsulated in a matrix of elastomeric material (36). To further strengthen the connection between the scrims (12, 14), the scrims are additionally joined together by binder members (42) which extend in a direction of the thickness of the belting. If the belting is intended to be used to convey food grade products, preferably an antibacterial agent is incorporated into the elastomeric material to inhibit bacterial growth.</p> |
