THE ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group has taken a major step towards sustainable conveyor belt technology: the new Conti Lightweight Technology can reduce the weight of fabric conveyor belts by up to 30 per cent. The lightweight technology also cuts costs and helps conserving resources and can be applied to different conveyor belts and components. The lower weight significantly reduces the amount of drive energy needed which is major contribution to the conservation of resources and protection of the environment. In addition to a significant weight reduction, the new technology has other positive effects. Contitech http://www.contitech.de/
