GKD expands process belt portfolio

From the application-specific configuration and manufacture through filling, linking and fixing to final assembly – GKD manufactures spiral fabric belts.
From the application-specific configuration and manufacture through filling, linking and fixing to final assembly – GKD manufactures spiral fabric belts.

Spiral fabric belts are the established standard in many industrial and municipal applications and secure the required level of production efficiency when they are part of dewatering, transport or drying processes.

GKD has created a total manufacturing environment specifically for this belt type at its parent works in Dueren in Germany. Due to their construction, spiral fabric belts are superior to woven mesh belts. They are seamless screen belts and have a clear advantage in applications where a seam is prone to breakdowns due to mechanical strain or may create markings in the product.

This is why seamless spiral fabric belts are used widely in dewatering processes with fibrous products like coir. Spiral fabric belts are also frequently deployed in a range of thermal applications like veneer drying, the production of plasterboards or in multiple storey dryers in the food-processing industry.
