Viscometers Tackle Re-Moist Adhesives Sticky Issue
Many commercial printers are applying water based re-moist adhesives as part of their printing processes.
According to Habasit Rossi, machine speed, flexibility and reliability are essential in the high pressure converting, paper handling and mailing industries.
The claimed resistance of Habidur provides good abrasion resistance, high and constant grip over the belt's lifetime and no glazing out.
The belts do not need to be re-adjusted and they have optimised traction layers combining flexibility, dimensional stability and robustness to ensure long belt life, reliability, folding quality and productivity.
Habasit said it has also applied its Habidur covers to its range of polyester folder-gluer belts.
The HC-14/30D, HC-14/40D, HC-14/50D and HC-18/60D belts have a traction layer of one PET fabric, which is embedded between two thermoplastic foils.
That ensures flexibility and robustness.
The joint zone and belt are entirely homogeneous and are covered with the same Habidur layers as the polyamide folder-gluer belts.
The HC-types are claimed to offer the thickest rubber covers in their belt class.
Other manufacturers' belts have thin rubber covers applied on thick TPU layers.
As soon as the rubber is worn off, the belts lose grip and performance, according to Habasit Rossi.
The company added that traditionally, folder-gluer belts consist of a polyamide traction layer, rubber covers and they are joined at the ends with glue, which can be time-consuming.
However, Habasit said that with its flexproof adhesive-free method, the belts are quickly and reliably conjoined, even by relatively untrained personnel.
The joining can even be done directly on the machine to avoid disassembly, which reduces downtime and costs.
Habasit Rossi industry manager for paper and print, Jim Dowell, commented: "Choosing the right belt and the right supplier are central to any successful operation involving printing, finishing, converting and sorting machines.
Habasit products are known for excellent quality and reliability and the latest folder-gluer belts further endorse our reputation.".
