Timing belts with cleats

In recent years, the variety of packaging solutions on the market has grown exponentially, bringing with it a rising demand for attachments with highly specific shapes. Thanks to our extensive experience in the field, we are able to supply attachments in virtually any geometry. Timing belts with cleats are employed in high-speed, high-precision conveyor systems, particularly within the sectors of automatic machinery, packaging, and industrial automation.

Polyurethane attachments with metal inserts

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) attachments are applied to the timing belt and can be welded onto the back at any position, giving the customer full freedom to choose the spacing of the attachments. Unlike belts with false teeth, the spacing does not need to be a multiple of the belt’s tooth pitch.

Typically, the desired geometries are achieved through mechanical machining. However, in cases where a large quantity of attachments is required, we can produce a mould to optimise manufacturing costs.

Dovetail Attachments

Timing belts used in conveyor systems are often exposed to high acceleration forces, and the density of polyurethane can make it unsuitable for certain geometries, resulting in attachments that are too heavy. By welding a dovetail-shaped base onto the back of the belt, it becomes possible to insert a secondary attachment made from a lighter material—such as glass-fibre reinforced plastic or carbon fibre—using an interference fit.

Attachments with Brushes

When handling fragile objects, rigid attachments cannot be used as they may compromise the integrity of the product. By manufacturing perforated attachments, brushes can be inserted to create a soft backing on the belt, allowing items to be gently deposited and transported without any risk of damage.
