The wide range of products
for the automotive industry
Before a vehicle leaves final assembly, it has already come into
contact with Forbo Siegling belting products in many stagesof the production process.

When manufacturing semi-finished products and components, conveyor belts ensure smooth material flow and streamlined fitting processes.

Forbo Siegling worker belts:
economical operation
all along the line
Siegling Transilon conveyor belts andSiegling Prolink modular belts replace theconventional heavy rubber belts in worker
belts of all types.

Compared with rubber belts with steel cord tension members,both of our alternatives have the following advantages:

The combined benefits of these two productlines mean conveyors can be more compact,with much more economical operation as aresult.

– small end drum diameters– wider belts without longitudinal seam
– lower purchasing costs– much easier handling when fitting and repairing– the underside is extremely tough– better chemical resistance– quick and easy to fit and repair
They are also free of silicone and minimize electrostatic build-up.

8Siegling Transilon worker belts (fabric based)

siegling transilon

conveyor and processing belts– High level of lateral stiffness, lying absolutely flatwith a structure up to four-layers deep and widths of up to 4000 mm
without longitudinal seam.
– Short take-up ranges and high level of longitudinal flexibility
with a very strong aramid tension member (comparable with steel cord).
– Can be used in all manufacturing processes
with smooth or patterned surfaces and very hard (Shore A up to 92°)
for ideal protection from damage; resistant to hydrolysis, oil and grease,
free of silicone. Profiles can be welded on, e.g. as wheel stoppers.
– Extremely low levels of drag and abrasion
with a specially-impregnated underside.
– Conveyors can be built compactly
due to small end radii.

Siegling Prolink worker (plastic modular belts)– Smoother belt tracking
due to closer modular pitch (more teeth at the end). As a result,chordal action or jolting is minimized.
– Conveyor heights lower with simple shafts
due to closer modular pitch and form-fit power transmission(small diameters at the ends are possible) and low sag.
– Robust, abrasion and distortion resistantdue to very strong plastics, ribbing over the whole height and therefore
with a larger contact area. Used as a chain or skid conveyor becausemodules are strong and teeth engagement is ideal.
– Can be used in all manufacturing processes
due to a tough, incision-resistant surface, the surface pattern provides
good grip (non-slip even in moist and oily conditions) and good drainage
properties. Hydrolysis, oil and grease resistant, silicone free.
Profiles available, e.g. as wheel stoppers. Optional hold-down clamps forreliable tracking and flat positioning of belts in swan neck conveyors.
– Quick to fit and reliable splicing
thanks to a new locking system with clips.
– Minimal friction
due to an ideal combination of materials with special runners.
