tages such as reliable, low-noise
belt tracking also really bear fruit.
PRINT 6736-2.65E combines
robustness with extreme repeat
accuracy. The belt’s thickness and
pitch line precision mean that it is
easy to retrofit on existing rotary
printers.
Web-laying belts sans
wrinkle forming
Web-laying belts have key func-
tions to fulfil in the manufacture of
needle felts. Forbo Siegling faced
this challenge by introducing two
new web-laying belts at ITM. With
its low-friction coating, the NP
6553 glides even more easily and
gently through the non-woven fab-
ric. The look of the product when
processing the finest of fibres shows
a significant improvement. The belt
is highly conductive and therefore
functions perfectly without any
electrostatic build-up. In relation
to the belt’s weight, it is also very
laterally stiff. This cuts the risk of
creases forming too.
The second innovation is the
extremely light, two-ply web-laying
belt NP 6711 with a low-drag,
finely patterned belt surface. The
lightweight design ensures espe-
cially quiet tracking, particularly
when the widths laid are wide. The
typical pounding the belt makes
is usually avoided. Good release
