Most maintenance personnel do not know how long it takes to
replace a Portec belt because they have had to do it so infrequently
or not at all. Interroll Portec belts can sometimes be damaged by
FOD (Foreign Object Debris) though. If this happens the Interroll
Portec belt can be easily replaced in as little as 30 minutes.

Replacing a belt on a friction-driven curve can take hours! Also,

friction increases wear on belts tremendously, therefore belts on a
friction-driven curve must be replaced frequently.
The Interroll Portec Curve is the only curve that can operate in
any global climate condition – and this includes shipping. Interroll
can safely deliver curves to any point on earth without climate
