Longer service lives for components in yarn manufacture
Since their launch, power transmission and tangential belts of the Siegling Extremultus A and E lines have proved to be very efficient and durable. The belts have thermoplastic aramide and polyester tension members. Forbo Siegling engineers gave them a tougher black coating and stronger tension members. This combination ensures longer service lives and produces better internal stability of the belts. The consistent friction coefficient in tangential belts also produces more consistent spindle revolutions. The tangential belts have particularly strong edges and they operate extremely reliably. The result: even after a long usage period, the quality of the yarn stays at a constantly high level.

Forbo Siegling's new rotor belts for OE machines are new benchmarks in rotary power transmission technology. The tangential belts, calibrated on both sides, have highly abrasion-resistant coatings that ensure consistent friction coefficients over their entire service lives. The Siegling Extremultus rotor belts also have a thickness tolerance of just 0.02 mm. Consequently, there is less stress on sensitive components like the rotor bearings and better yarn quality with fewer piecings is guaranteed. The rotor belt can be supplied up to 150 metres in length.

Extensive service locally – the world over
Forbo Siegling strives to provide extensive service facilities. In order to ensure the extreme precision of its power transmission and conveyor belts, the company offers its customers on-site endless splicing. The variety of belts offered requires reliable splicing methods that Forbo Siegling has developed, based on its long-standing expertise. The global company offers its service in many countries via local companies and service points.

Forbo Movement Systems (previously called Siegling) employs more than 1,800 people globally in eight production sites and 25 international companies. Forbo conveyor and power transmission belts are used in nearly all industries, but also in the retail and services sectors. Key competencies are the food and packaging industries, logistics and airports, as well as paper, print and raw materials industries. The company was founded in 1919 in Hanover. Since 1994 the company has belonged to the Swiss company Forbo International. The products have been marketed since 2007 under the master brand "Forbo Movement Systems".
