Conveyor belts and process belts - Import export

Different mesh sizes with open areas of 60% max. make Forbo mesh belts ideal processing belts for cleaning, drying, filtering and cooling. The belts can be supplied in different versions, for example with reinforced belt edges, with fibre-glass or Kevlar-fabric, with tracking- and lateral-profiles.

Due to the widespread reduction in traditional warehousing and much lower stock levels in supply chains, lead times from production to the consumer are increasingly shorter. So accurate order picking and distribution are increasingly playing a key role in a company’s success. This places high demands on the performance and reliability of systems and requires first-class components. Specialized research in close co-operation with users and OEM’s, ensures that Forbo Siegling products give maximum performance in the logistics industry. – They are totally reliable for all types of conveying. – They can cope with very high demands when conveying different types of goods. – They are particularly economical to operate.

Thanks to their fabric design, Siegling Transilon curved belts are exceptionally flexible, both laterally and longitudinally, ensuring an optimal distribution of forces within the belt. Depending on the application, either conical or cylindrical drums are used, or in some cases even knife edges or rolling knife edges. Curved belts can be fabricated from one or more segments. Fabrication from several segments improves the distribution of forces within the belt. Curved belts can be equipped with perforations or eyelets along the edges so they can be attached to tracking systems later on.

Even a conveying task which seems quite simple can require a whole host of belt properties. Forbo Movement Systems has the best belt type for various goods, conveying speeds, reversing systems, stop & go and accumulation conveying, and other operating conditions. Some examples of the diverse features of Siegling Transilon include: - troughable to particularly laterally stiff types - exceptionally low-noise to flame-retardant - pyrolysis-resistant to suitability for conveying unpackaged food - non-antistatic to highly conductive and ATEX-approved - surfaces suitable for accumulation conveying and especially good grip.

When pushers and ploughs are used, the belt’s laterally stiff design guarantees that it will lie flat and continue to run in a straight line reliably. The lateral loading and discharge of goods is achieved by using very smooth, wear-resistant surfaces. Lateralsorters (e.g. carrier cells), on the other hand, require very thin, flexible belts whose surfaces have high coefficients of friction. Their special tension member construction means that they have very low energy consumption.

Tobacco IndustryForbo conveyor and processing belts are in operation from the tobacco harvest to conveying the bales, to preparing the tobacco and producing the cigarettes, to conveying packaging ready for sale.

Sports and Leisure Nowadays sports and leisure activities are increasingly held in fitness studios, equipped with high-tech and complicated treadmills and weight-training machinery. From walking to training in running for top athletes, Forbo treadmill belts for all speeds and types of stress are used, guaranteeing stable operation, optimum grip and excellent directional stability. In weight-training machinery Forbo Powerbelts easily move masses of 100 kg and more. Conveyor and accelerating belts for skiers make getting into the ski lift easier, minimizing the danger of injury. At the same time the lift can work more economically.

Goods can be conveyed at an incline even on smooth belt surfaces. The conveying angle is dependent on a variety of factors such as the type of goods being conveyed, the top face coating and external factors like dust, moisture, etc. For large conveying angles and for the conveying of small pieces and bulk goods, Forbo Movement Systems offers patterned belts or belts equipped with lateral profiles.

Building materials, wood and stone Whether the wood, marble or brick industry, Forbo conveyor and processing belts as well as high efficiency flat belts fulfill the special requirements of these important sectors.

One of Forbo’s key corporate objectives is to maximize environmental friendliness and to enhance product value at the same time. On this basis, we successfully conduct research and development by closely liaising with OEMs and end users. The new generation of energy-saving conveyor belts is another prime example of our approach. The Amp Miser™ 2.0 belts now allow you to save up to 50 % of the energy required for power transmission. And they don’t cost any more than conventional belts. Lower power consumption Substantially reduced energy costs Fewer CO2 emissions

Industrial Production Industrial production includes a large number of applications. These range from the automotive and tire industry, to steel manufacturing or metalworking, as well as areas like industrialized and customized mechanical engineering, the chemical or recycling industries. Forbo conveyor and processing belts, plastic modular belts and high-efficiency flat belts stand for reliability and efficiency. They can easily handle the key functions in all industries mentioned.
