Title: Where to look for conveyor belts
Post by: Prosperi-Tees on January 31, 2012, 12:46:55 PM: I am just looking around for a quote on a replacement conveyor belt. I just picked up a Lawson 12ft 36" wide dryer (thanks ebscreen) and though the belt has some life in it I would like to know what it will cost to replace. Hard to find anything online, any suggestions?

I've got a source for you Gerry but I'll have to check with Frog if I can send it along. Last time
I checked on one about that size (may have been ten foot) it was roughly $400.

I know but the last 2 dryers I had were black belts I thought if there is no actual difference to change it up a little. But being a black belt would be cooler!

If it's like the color of a car where black is always hotter.....I'd definitely go with black to insure a better cure, lol.

See thats what I am wondering, is black technically better for that reason? On the other hand if tan does not absorb the heat as much would more heat be absorbed by the shirt?

the black I would assume.
