In the manufacture of the KD woven corrugator belt, textile engineers, with strength and hygroscopic properties in mind, carefully select natural cotton fibers for the inner ply. Only extremely high grade heat and wear resistant polyester fibers are used for the two outer plies.
The three (3) ply belts are woven on sophisticated computer controlled looms that monitor the welt and the weave throughout production. Experienced textile engineers exercise strict supervision and do the QC managers.
Precise pre-stretching and thermofixing (heat setting) follow the completion of weaving. These technically delicate procedures prevent stretching in the corrugating line, and insure that the dimensional stability of the belt remains well less than 1% during the life of the belt.
As the belt does not stretch, there is no need of over tension to keep it running true. Only enough tension is applied to establish traction between belt and paper. Lower tension contributes to less machine wear, less maintenance and less power consumption.
After the belt is cut to size, the ends are honed to create a "setback" in preparation for lacing. The setback insures that the #6 stainless steel laces are crimped into the belt so that they are below the surface line of the joined belt. High heat resistant silicone is then applied and smoothed over the lacing, covering it to aid in avoiding marking. The lacing is crimped into the belt, not compressed or heated thereby weakening the material.
The KD belt is guaranteed to perform at least as long as any previously used belt, because it is:
A. More durable.
B. Tracks perfectly.
C. Runs with less tension.
D. It is the easiest of ANY belt to clean.
The KD belt is priced to be competitive and commands the best performance ratio per dollar cost (million square feet board - $)
