FENNER Dunlop EMEA, previously known as Dunlop Conveyor Belting, one of the leading innovators in industrial conveyor belting, have announced the release of the latest updated version of their popular ‘Belt Buddy’ mobile application.
First launched in 2020, Belt Buddy has become an invaluable tool for a growing number of professionals seeking information and guidance on a wide range of conveyor belt technical subjects. Regardless of time or location, it allows users to make numerous on-the-spot calculations, including belt thickness and weight, roll size and belt length (from a coiled roll), transition distance, convex curve layout, and motor power and capacity.
The Belt Buddy App also contains comprehensive details about the Fenner Dunlop product range and boasts a huge library of useful reference documents, including technical bulletins and splice manuals. Available in four languages (English, French, German, and Spanish), Belt Buddy has been described by one delighted conveyor engineer as ‘The best thing Dunlop have ever done!’.
Encouraged by its popularity and the constructive feedback from users, the updated version now includes new features such as calculating the capacity of piece goods, eg parcels and packages, as well as elevator motor power and capacity calculations for bucket elevators, including the ability to calculate bucket volume.

It’s designed to be very easy to use and allows them to make critical calculations on the spot. The new features have increased the range of practical calculations and guidance that its users have instant access to, wherever they may be.’
