of the belt. Sometimes impact idlers are enough, while
others may need a sophisticated impact bed to provide the
required protection for the belt. Sealing the load zone from
escaping dust and spillage will also be a consideration for
selecting a belt support solution.
In many cases, there is not enough support for the belt in
that area. Some common examples of this problem include
not using impact idlers or beds; spacing impact idlers apart,
which creates gaps in the seal that can cause spillage;
catenary idlers that have too much “give,” which can cause

Load point solutions from Flexco
Flexco has several solutions for issues occurring at the load point
to suit loads of every shape and size for multiple price ranges.
DRX200, DRX750, DRX1500, and DRX3000 Impact Beds

DRX (Dual Relief Xtra™) Impact Beds are designed with one simple goal:
protect the belt. Superior belt protection is designed into the entire
structure - not just the bars. The Velocity Reduction Technology,
including Impact Bar Supports and the Isolation Mounts, ensure a
level of protection unlike any other. Less belt wear and damage, less
rebounding and material degradation, and two levels of impact
absorbing force reduction. The DRX 3000 takes this theory to the
extreme with Impact Energy Absorbers that react to the most
severe loads.
Sturdy components, robust construction, and convenient maintenance make our
line more durable and efficient. DRX impact beds separate in the middle, allowing the two sides
to slide apart and out. This provides direct access to all the bars and bolts for quick, easy, and
safe maintenance.
