Maximum energy efficiency
for corrugated board production

One mesh. two functions.

The innovative new BLUEBACKER process belt for corrugated board applications employs a mesh technology with resistant and open mesh design. It helps secure more efficiency during the corrugated board production and is used as both as a top and lower belt.

corrugator Belt

Revolutionary
mesh design

BLUEBACKER is produced from a unique, multilayer mesh for more efficiency for corrugated board production.

Transport / traction layer made from staple fiber yarn and aramid

Guarantees safe transport and secure grip of the corrugated board. Minimizes abrasion problems, thus providing a long service life with no adhesion problems.

Powered by CONDUCTO® technology

Constant electrostatic dissipation prevents the corrugated board from adhering.

Carrier fabric made of monofilaments

Prevents the risk of belt elongation over the entire service life. Guarantees a high degree of cross stability and requires less assembly work.

The benefits at a glance

The Allrounder for the double­facer section

  • Hybrid mesh with interwoven bronze wire
  • Long service life
  • Significant savings in drive energy due to the lower weight per unit area
  • Constant electrical dissipation thanks to CONDUCTO® technology
  • Dimensional stability thanks to thermosetting and special mesh design

Developed and produced in Germany.
On unmatched quality standard since 1925.

lower belt

uncoated
and coated

The lower belt comes with CONDUCTO® technology as standard that prevents the corrugated board from sticking. Any risk of fire can therefore be minimized.

uncoated

The uncoated version is universally suited to all corrugated board production systems, press systems, and production speeds.

coated

With the coated version, the unique, tried-and-true silicone coating significantly increases paper grip. This makes the belt especially well suited for use with heavy corrugated boards and papers with a smooth surface.
