The main characteristic of SOFRA™ Belting are, It is a carcass of assault technology made of High Tensile Yarns then treated with the exclusive coating process, which further helps SOFRA™ belt with better performance, which can further be explained by following comparison points :-

1. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting has excellent resistance to high tensions compared to Rubber Belts.
2. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is a combination of High tensile yarns which are complexly woven which makes it more durable than Rubber Bucket Elevator Beltings.
3. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting has higher resistance to humidity & oil which further increases the life-cycle of belt in use as compared to Rubber Bucket Elevator Beltings. 
4. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is Solid woven belting, with a very complex weaving process, by which it does not tear apart unlike Rubber Bucket Elevator Beltings. 
5. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting has No Ply separation problems like in Rubber Bucket Elevator Beltings. 
6. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is resistant to High Temp. environments with indirect heat up to 120° C.
7. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting has lowers index of stretching which further helps in better grip along pulley's diameter.
8. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting weight is lesser than of Rubber Bucket Elevator Belting, which further puts lower load on Pulley Drive Systems, cos of which there would be very low load on Pulley Drive & Bearings, so life of both Pulley & Bearing also increases. 
9.  As the Weight is very less, compared to Rubber Bucket Elevator Beltings it further helps achieving more output with less amount of Power consumption.
10. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting can be used at severe load conditions, where all other kind of belting fails to perform. 
11. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is Oil & Alkaline Resistant Belting, which makes it best for use in Bucket Elevators in Rice Mills, Oil Mills, Flour mills, Fodder Industry, Fertilizer plants, Sugar mills, etc.
12. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is resistant to High Temp., Alkaline, Moisture & Ply Separations.
13. SOFRA™ Bucket Elevator Belting is Abrasion Resistant belting which further makes it best for use in food processing industries, cos this is a zero residue belt unlike Rubber Bucket Conveyor Beltings, which is toxic in nature.
