8We serve your industry

Materials handlingNo matter what kind of goods your company handles, Habasit is your dependable source for cost-effective belting solutions for all materials handling applications. Whether your needs are for gentle handling, longer lifetimes, or cost savings in straight, inclined or radius conveyor applications, we never turn down a challenge in any materials handling area.

Automotive and tireNew technologies are radically changing production, and the selection of the right belts has become decisive for producing cars and tires efficiently and economically. Habasit offers a complete, innovative range of products and solutions. As a true one-stop-shop for the industry, Habasit supplies HabasitLINK® and KVP® plastic modular belts, HabaFLOW® fabric-based conveyor and processing belts, HabaDRIVE® power transmission belts, and gearmotors for all automotive applications, including press lines, punching machines, skid conveyors and people mover belts.

FoodThe number-one priority for food processing is hygiene, so hygienic design and cleanability are mandatory for all conveyors. We ensure that our belts are as resistant to the ingredients in the foodstuffs they transport, as they are to aggressive cleaning agents. International companies trust our solutions and take advantage of our HabasitLINK® and KVP® plastic modular belts or plastic spiral belts, food conveyor and processing belts. Our solutions include innovations such as belts with antimicrobial additives, which meet all local legal requirements.

PackagingHabasit’s product range meets all packaging application needs. The hygienic design and cleanability of our solutions fulfill the most demanding requirements. The key attributes of our products, including low friction, low noise, and smooth running, ensure the safe conveyance of packaged products even at high speeds.

TobaccoTobacco goes through many stages before it reaches the point of sale. Starting with manual sorting, the green leaves are moved through conditioning, sorting, threshing and blending with the leaf tips, before being further processed. And that’s just stage one of the process. Habasit keeps tobacco moving it all the way through blending, flavoring and cutting, free from impurities and exactly at your desired process speed.

Wood Where would we be without wood? This valuable natural material needs considerable processing before it appears in our homes and offices. Habasit conveyor and power transmission belts, and HabasitLINK® and KVP® plastic modular belts, are an integral part of wood plants around the world, processing the raw materials to make plywood, particleboard, MDF (medium density fiberboard) and OSB (oriented strand board). Woodworking processes use machinery with gear reducers and gearmotors also supplied by Habasit.

Textile Whether your needs lie in yarn processing, textile printing or nonwoven textiles, Habasit products offer uniform, excellent quality and reliability. In textile printing, our Extraline printing blankets guarantee high precision, while the Extraline crosslapper belts for the nonwoven industry ensure a uniform and high production output.

Printing, paper, postalPrinting, finishing and paper- and cardboard-converting processes require a broad range of different belts. HabaFLOW® fabric-based belts, HabaSYNC® timing belts, HabasitLINK® and KVP® plastic modular belts, as well as our range of chains and seamless belts, meet customer needs to perfection. In the world of parcel and letter sorting, the key elements for timely delivery are the conveying and sorting systems. Leading postal services count on our unparalleled solutions to meet their customers’ expectations.

10Products for all your needs

Machine tapesApplied in printing, paper, postal and many other processes, Habasit machine tapes convey delicate goods and provide adequate and constant grip. Machine tapes come in a variety of traction layer materials, strength classes, and application-oriented cover materials. Unparalleled properties and a lifetime guarantee ensure the highest productivity.

Seamless beltsOur seamless belts offer superior performance and maximum design flexibility. We have developed a series of tailor-made products for business machines, printing, paper- and cardboard-converting applications, and mail sorting. Our vast range includes seamless GRABBER® feeder belts where high friction, abrasion resistance, antiglazing, nonmarking and “ablative” properties are essential.

Round beltsPolycord round belts can be used as conveying elements or for driving applications. They are particularly suitable for angular gears, as they can be adjusted directionally at will. Habasit offers a comprehensive range of round belts made of high quality polyurethane in diameters between 2 mm and 15 mm, with different surfaces and hardnesses.

HabasitLINK® and KVP®

Our plastic modular belt range provides unique design features to improve cleaning. It is approved for use in a range of food applications from packaging to cooling and dewatering, as well as in the materials handling industry. KVP products complement the range, e.g. for spiral and shrink-wrap tunnel applications.

HabaDRIVE® Due to their high flexibility, Habasit’s power transmission belts save energy and help to reduce costs. The superior belt design also allows for small pulley diameters and versatile machine designs, which are especially important in the textile and printing and paper industries.

HabaFLOW® From standard fabric conveyor belts, to industry-specific high duty conveyor and processing belts, flexibility and reliability are essential. The choice of strength class, cover material, surface structure and running-side properties optimizes system performance.

11

Fabrication tools (joining tools)To support the effective and efficient fabrication of our belts, we have developed a broad range of tools and devices. The range covers the requirements of in-house fabrication (series and specialities) as well as those of on-site installations of conveyors, power transmission belts, and tapes.

Electric motors and brake motorsRossi Gearmotors’ electric motors and brake motors are primarily used for industrial purposes and in the machine building industry. A wide range of products is available to solve not only conventional but also extremely demanding driving tasks. The robust product design guarantees safe and reliable operating conditions.

Gear reducers and gearmotorsOur partner Rossi Gearmotors is one of Europe’s largest groups for the production of gear reducers, gearmotors and electronic speed variation. For the last 50 years, Rossi Gearmotors has frequently pioneered new solutions – such as universal mounting and upgraded modular construction of the components.

HabaCHAIN®

Habasit’s top-quality range of slat and conveyor chains are available in both straight-running and side-flexing versions. They are fully compatible with modern industry standards. Slat-chain product retrofits are possible. All state-of-the-art features like extra-low friction, chemical resistance, antistatic and flame-retardant qualities are available.

HabiPLAST®

We provide thermoplastic products for engineering and industrial applications such as extruded profiles, machined profiles, sliding guides, wearstrips, plastic parts, etc. These are used in many industries, including bottling, packaging, mechanics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, glass, food, and paper.

HabaSYNC® Invaluable in countless applications, open-ended polyurethane timing belts are stable at high operating speeds. They are used wherever synchronous or parallel conveyors, accumulation, positioning conveying, capstan haul-offs, linear drives and indexing conveyors are required.
