Habasit – The Future of Belting is Now

In modern textile machinery, nothing goes without belts. Proud of being the world’s number 1 when it comes to belting, Habasit has been meeting customers’ needs even before they arise. Because sixty years of experience can make you see the future. If you care. And at Habasit, we do. Getting up there and staying at the top for decades goes beyond providing the best products for all applications. It lies in making customers come first. That is why we believe in partnership: in assisting, assembling and installation, monitoring, inspection and optimization proposals for both OEM and end users. Installing a production site using Habasit’s products means allying with the strongest belting partner in the world. And to get your share of all our experience. During the ITMA ASIA + CITME 2008 in Shanghai (July 27 – 31, 2008), Habasit will present a series of innovative products and models showing high benefit solutions for the textile industry at the Stand C03, in Hall W2. Belting the textile industry – and helping it boom For two decades now, Habasit has been the world leader in manufacturing printing blankets. This outstanding position has its reasons. Habasit printing blankets provide outstanding repeat accuracy, perfect printing quality, long service life and high reliability. They are easy to join and install. And they are available all over the world. Anytime. And even this is but a small share of what makes Habasit printing blankets the best you can get. In 1989, when Fernand Habegger, founder of Habasit, decided to produce printing blankets that were wider than all previously existing blankets, he did not respond to the market. He formed it. This drive for innovation has been the spirit of Habasit ever since. This agility and courage in creating and innovating have positioned Habasit where we are still standing now: At the very top of the belting world. Over 800 outstanding products form Habasit’s palette, constantly trialed, tested, innovated and improved. If belting was a mountain, there would be a Habasit flag at the top. Habasit produces a whole variety of belts for modern textile machinery. Indeed, Habasit features a specialized product for virtually every step of a textile production plant. And all of them are simply the latest and most reliable in the world. High quality printing at lower costs – Printing Blankets that make ends meet Three different kinds are produced at Habasit today. Their outstanding quality, reliability and ease of installation as well as their high chemical resistance surface set a standard of their own. Their worldwide application proves this. ENU-20EXBD and ENU-20ELBD have a Polyester (PET) traction layer. They differ by thickness and the texture on the reverse side. ENU-20ELBD, for instance, with its low-noise fabric, is applied where there is a need for lowering the noise level on high-speed machines.
