<p>A belt for a shoe press is constructed of an open-structure base or carrier which is coated with a solidified urethane coating material. The urethane coating is at least coextensive with the upper and lower surfaces of the base, and the base is preferably embedded within the coating. The belt is made by placing the open-structure base over a backing layer such as a coating belt or a layer of adhesive tape removably secured to the base, which in turn is trained about a pair of rollers so that the base overlies the backing layer. The urethane material, in liquid form, is poured onto the base, and flows through the openings and into the internal voids, and is supported by the backing layer. After the base is completely coated with the urethane material to form an endless belt, the belt is ground and removed from the backing layer. <IMAGE></p> |
