Multipurpose solutions for printing and paper applications
When you need top-quality machine tapes to convey, speed up, slow down, position, or fold paper material in your applications, you can count on Habasit. Our machine tapes draw on years of experience, ongoing research, and close contacts with the printing and paper industry.
Habasit's Hamid, polyamide and polyurethane machine tapes are manufactured with abrasion resistant NBR covers or other application-oriented surface materials. These highly effective belting solutions are extremely reliable, have constant grip, and offer a long service life.
Hamid machine tapes
Hamid machine tapes can be joined quickly by fusing the ends together without adhesives using the Flexproof or Quickmelt method. This results in a superior product with uniform flexibility over the whole length. In addition, it provides significant cost savings in terms of maintenance and reduced machine downtimes.
Main features:
- Simple and fast adhesive-free joining methods
- Uniform longitudinal flexibility (thanks to the adhesive-free joint)
- Low energy consumption, due to high longitudinal flexibility
- Excellent reversed bending and flex fatigue properties
- Copes with small pulley diameters
- Good dimensional stability, low sensitivity to humidity
- High abrasion resistance
- Application-oriented surface properties, gentle treatment of transported goods
- Elastic types available. They are suitable for short center distances and transport of low weights. Despite their elasticity the belts remain dimensionally stable after running-in. They do not require tensioning devices. This allows a simpler machine design and saves costs.
Polyamide machine tapes
The traction layer of these machine tapes is highly resilient and can cope with intermittent overloads, which prevents residual elongation. This makes retensioning unnecessary, and avoids costly and time-consuming machine downtimes.
Main features:
- Good dimensional stability
- Can cope with intermittent overloads, very robust and forgiving
- Very good reverse bending and flex-fatigue properties
- High abrasion resistance
- Application-oriented surface properties, gentle treatment of transported goods
Polyurethane machine tapes
Fine textile-structure friction covers made of TPU, specifically developed for belt surfaces undergoing high stress, provide best-in-class abrasion resistance. The tape can be joined quickly by fusing the ends together without adhesives using the Flexproof or Quickmelt method. The elastic TPU foil traction layer permits quick installation with short machine downtimes.
Main features:
- Simple and fast adhesive-free joining method
- Uniform longitudinal flexibility thanks to the knock-free joint
- Best in class abrasion resistance
- Constant and gentle grip structure
- Gentle treatment of transported goods
- Elastic types are available They are suitable for short center distances and transport of low weights. Despite their elasticity the belts remain dimensionally stable after running-in. They do not require tensioning devices. This allows a simpler machine design and saves costs.
