In 2016-2017, as part of a greenfield investment by Contitec Rubber Industrial Ltd. in Jorf Lasfar, Morocco, we completed the complete control of a combi press (also suitable for the production of steel-lined and textile-lined belts). Specialties of steel belt manufacturing

  • 160 steel wire of varying sizes must be pulled off the spool stand at the same time, ensuring a constant tension force. Application of special KEB electric motors and SIMOTRAS HD power supply
  • Automatic construction of the strap with the construction trolley, including the lowering of the raw rubber with the minimum traction force synchronous with the movement of the construction trolley
  • Synchronous movement of the entire row (spool stand – construction trolley – pull-out unit – winding unit) when moving the belt
  • Implementation of the required level of security technology
    • 3 safety IPCs
    • frequency converters with safety controller
    • security fence, RFID door opening sensors
    • light curtains
    • emergency wires
    • e-stop push buttons
    • security ethernet network
