V Guides

PVC, PU, and special compounds available in K6 through K22 profiles in a variety of colors

Shingle Belting’s PVC V-Guides are extruded from superior PVC compounds. Our PVC V-guides are much more cost effective because they can be applied with less heat; which decreases the damage to the belt’s carcass, they will not crack or delaminate and they have good resistance to heat and oils.

Types of V-Guides:
  • Clear Urethane – 70 shore A (meets FDA requirements)
  • White PVC – 60 & 75 shore A (meets FDA requirements)
  • Black PVC – 60 & 75 shore A
  • Custom Colors
  • Custom Sizes
  • Custom Durometers

For the average V-Guided belt, the V-Guide represents a small portion of the total belt cost. Why risk costly belt failures with inferior, clay-filled V-Guides?
