FORBO SIEGLING GMBH

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.

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.

With Siegling Transilon, the gap is often bridged between the classical conveying function from “A” to “B” and an active function in the production process. For example, in the textile industry our processing belts stack thin layers of web, in large bakeries they form balls of dough, in the wood industry they compress chip mat in the pre-press, in dairies milk is coagulated on the belts to form cheese. Here are just a few examples of process operations. Cross-lapping of web layers in the nonwoven industry. High production speed and acceleration of masses while the web is guided directly between the belts places extremely high demands on the processing belts.

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.

As form-fit power-transmission and conveying components, Siegling Proposition timing belts complement the established family of Siegling Transilon conveying and processing belts. Our vast experience in light materials handling guarantees superb product quality, in-depth support and fast service. Siegling Proposition high-efficiency timing belts are made of high-quality polyurethane with an embedded tension member made of steel cord or Kevlar. Thanks to their low mass and extreme tensile strength, they are quiet to operate and require virtually no maintenance. These characteristics make them ideal for demanding tasks like accelerating and braking, as well as for exact positioning. A wide range of coatings, patterns and profiles can be applied to standard timing belts. They can be modified even further by adding perforations, milling and grinding. As a result, the belts are true specialists when dealing with conveying, power-transmission or handling jobs. Product

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.

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.

Conveying heavy-duty products presents huge challenges to the conveyor belts used. With four product series, the Siegling Transtex range offers top performance in the most diverse of applications. Global logistics service providers have been using Siegling Transtex successfully for years when typical conveyor belts for light-materials handling reached their limits. In wind and extreme weather conditions, high temperatures and unusual mechanical stress, steel and rubber conveyor belts were the first choice for a long time. Siegling Transtex is the ideal alternative for many applications – with all the benefits of fabric-based conveyor belts: -easy to make endless -low energy consumption -simple conveyor design -low maintenance and repair costs

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.
