Siegling Transilon for light materials handling Under the Siegling Transilon brand name, Forbo Siegling has developed a product line of 600 different designs worldwide that consistently reflects market requirements. Many of the types are based on joint development with users and OEMs. From rugged “jacks-of-all-trades” to igh-tech “specialists”: the Siegling Transilon h product line offers a wide range of types for the most varied of conveying tasks in all industries, while at the same time also carrying out processing tasks. Special literature is available for many of the topics and...

Siegling Transilon for all conveying and processing jobs Horizontal conveying Even a conveying task which seems quite simple can require a whole host of belt properties. Forbo Siegling has the best belt type for various goods, conveying speeds, reversing systems, stop & go and accumulation conveying, and other operating conditions. Some examples of the diverse features of Siegling Transilon include: – troughable to particularly laterally stiff types – exceptionally low-noise to flame-retardant – pyrolysis-resistant to suitability for conveying unpackaged food – non-antistatic to highly...

Inclined conveying Curved conveying Goods can be conveyed at an incline even on smooth belt surfaces. The conveying angle is dependent on a variety of factors such as the type of goods being conveyed, the top face coating and external factors like dust, moisture, etc. Curved belts from Forbo Siegling are suitable for use in conjunction with a diverse array of belt tracking systems and are in use on the conveyors of numerous major manu acturers. f For large conveying angles and for the conveying of small pieces and bulk goods, Forbo Siegling offers patterned belts or belts equipped with...

Collection and distribution When pushers and ploughs are used, the belt’s laterally stiff design guarantees that it will lie flat and continue to run in a straight line reliably. The lateral loading and discharge of goods is achieved by using very smooth, wear-resistant surfaces. Lateral sorters (e.g. carrier cells), on the other hand, require very thin, flexible belts whose surfaces have high coefficients of friction. Their special tension member construction means that they have very low energy consumption. Lateral sorter in a distribution centre. The high acceleration requires the belt...

Processing belts With Siegling Transilon, the gap is often bridged between the classical c onveying function from “A” to “B” and an active function in the production process. For example, in the textile industry our processing belts stack thin layers of web, in large bakeries they form balls of dough, in the wood industry they compress chip mat in the pre-press, in dairies milk is coagulated on the belts to form cheese. Here are just a few examples of process operations. Cross-lapping of web layers in the nonwoven industry. High production speed and accele ation of r masses while the web is...

Siegling Transilon product structure Various coating materials, thicknesses and patterns determine grip, chemical, physiological and mechanical properties of the belt. The use of various special fabrics largely determines the suitability for specific applications. Belt tracking properties, load/elongation properties, electrostatic properties, flatness, knife edge and curve suitability are directly dependant on the fabric construction. The design of the underside determines the noise emission, wear, and suitability for sliding‑or rolling support of the belt.

Siegling Transilon patterns Forbo Siegling has developed and optimised a wide range of surface patterns for very different applications. The appropriately optimised surface patterns ensure for example, ideal grip with demanding goods such as roller suitcases and good release properties with dough and are also used to emboss manufacturer-specific patterns on the under ide of chocolate. s Siegling Transilon patterned belts can run at incline angles of up to 30° without profiles. For larger incline angles they can also be fitted with profiles and sidewalls (see page 11). ➀ AR Rough-top (M 1:1)...

Special features and properties Food safety Electrical properties In numerous conveying and processing functions, the electrical properties of the belt material are important for smooth operation. As a standard, Siegling Transilon belts are equipped with a conductive tension member which prevents electrostatic build-up in the belt. Siegling Transilon non-antistatic belts (NA) are not electrically conductive. They facilitate special engineering solutions for produc ion conveyors t where high frequencies are used or regulation is carried out electromagnetically e.g. in security screening and...

Special processing Numerous combinations of tension member‑design and coating design are possible. But certain conveying and processing tasks require more: mechanical, physical or chemical belt properties which can be provided only by special production processes, combinations of materials and/or finishing (see page 9 and 10). Brochures 317 and 318 provide information about storing, finishing and fitting, as well as special features and properties. Further information on request. Belt edge sealing Conveyor belts with profiles are used for the inclined and declined conveying of bulk goods...

Siegling Transilon Splicing techniques Types of splices The splicing method appropriate for individual applications is dependent on the belt types used and the prevailing operating conditions. In addition to splice reliability, flexibility of the splice and the effort required for fabrication are decisive criteria for the selection of the splicing method. Detailed instructions for all splicing procedures are available on request. A hot-pressed splice provides the highest durability and flexibility. Following types are available: ➀ Z-splice Meets the most rigorous of requirements for...
