Built for 3″ x 24″ machines, armed with Shredder ceramic
These carry the same #Shredder ceramic grain as our 2x72 line — the grain fractures continuously to expose fresh cutting edges, so belts cut fast and run cool on steel and stainless. Coming from zirconia? Our published numbers: roughly 60% faster cutting and 2–3x belt life for about 30–40% more up front — or pick the Zirconia+ option if lowest cost per belt is the priority.
