siegling transilon

conveyor and processing belts

Siegling Transilon are fabric and nonwoven based conveyor
and processing belts featuring a product range that covers
both standard conveying and the most demanding andprecise applications.
The fabric design and coating customise the mechanical,
chemical and electrostatic characteristics of each belt type.
We can offer you the right type of belt for all types of fabricconveying and other stages in nonwoven manufacture.

siegling prolink
modular belts

Siegling Prolink are very robust and durable plasticmodular belts.
Due to their form-fit design across the whole width andtheir very robust structure, they are equally ideal as feeder
and discharge belts. Various top-face patterns turn theminto specialists for the application concerned.

Web-laying belts in the cross-lapper
Speed and precision go
hand in hand
The technical demands placed on web-laying
belts are rising steadily in the face of ever fastermachine speeds and the use of finer and moredemanding synthetic nonwoven fibres andreduced web weights.

Forbo Movement Systems provides speciallydesigned belt types for different fibres andnon­wovens, with polyamide coating or especiallylow-friction urethane coating.

Conveyor belts in cutting systems
Cutting to size efficiently
In automatic cutting machines, NOVO types are used.
These belts are made of homogeneous polyester
fibre bundle and are exeptional due to the following
properties:– low-noise– flat surface with good grip for the ­gentle andreliable conveying of cloth– exceptionally good cut resistance– air-permeable (cloth is suctioned through thebelt which holds it in place)
As a smooth base for manual cutting, our belt type
E 8/2 U0/U2 LF green is used. Its extremely low-drag,low-friction (LF) surface has significant advantages
over conventional belt surfaces:– material can be moved and positioned on thesurface very easily– knife runner slides easily on the top face, reducing
wear on the runner and belt as well as enabling
precise cutting with little effort.

siegling prolink
modular belts

Plastic modular belting for nonwoven
conveying An upgrade forreliable and efficient production
Where fabric belts and lattice conveyors work well, Siegling
Prolink modular belts are often superior: in production lines,
as a substitute for lattice conveyors, in infeed and mixing
lines. They deliver tangible advantages in the conveyance offibre materials and nonwovens at all processing stages.
– enhanced durability and longer service life due
to our robust design features– reliable belt tracking utilizing sprocket-driven operation– overall cost savings and easy installation

Siegling Prolink can be easily integrated into existingmachinery:– replacing existing drive roll with square shaft for
sprocket-driven belting– lagging of existing rollers (optimal for floor aprons);
decreases conversion costs and is simple and fast
– new continuous NSK2 pattern (non-skid) with anenhanced semi-circular design prevents fibers fromsticking
