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.

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.

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.

Belt scrapers Gentle and effective cleaning of belts with urethane scrapers. In contrast to rigid scrapers made of metal or hard plastic, Forbo scrapers are not just gentle to the surface of the belt, but to the splice too. The wear resistant scrapers come in different colors and as metal-detectable (MD) types. Properties -suitable for belt scrapers of urethane and polyester -robust and compact design adjustable, continuously contact force adjustable scraper angle

Siegling Fullsan is the new product line of homogeneous, thermoplastic, polyurethane belts from Forbo Movement Systems. All Siegling Fullsan belts are protected from contamination by oil, grease, moisture and bacteria. Siegling Fullsan belts are very easy to clean and ideal for exceptionally hygiene-critical applications (dairy products, dough preparation, meat and poultry processing and other food-related areas).

All the PVC and PU coatings on Forbo’s conveyor and processing belts (Transilon/Transtex) are made with UV-stabilizing recipes. Premature ageing due to the impact of UV-C radiation (with cracks forming and a tendency to rupture) is now reliably prevented. The belt surface remains intact, isn’t contaminated and is still easy to clean. Because it’s very fast and easy to use, UV-C disinfection plays a key role in hygiene technology. Conveyor belts without any UV protection are only of limited use in the process. — exceptionally hygienic due to enhanced ingredients — very easy to clean due to intact surfaces — economical operation due to long service lives Application examples: Intralogistics Food industry Baggage handling

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
