Tobacco Industry

HEAD conveyor and processing belts are in operation from the tobacco harvest to conveying the bales, to preparing the tobacco and producing the cigarettes, to conveying packaging ready for sale.

The special challenge placed on the belts during green leaf processing, primary processing and secondary processing is the constant change in the nature of the tobacco, temperatures and the conveying required. HEAD belts are successfully used as fabric-based belts, as power-transmission   or even timing belts   in a number of different applications. Various customized finishes, such as profiles and sidewalls, as well as accessories like belt scrapers, offer further options specific to particular applications. In conjunction with our global service the result is a reliable full range of belt products.

We supply the right belt solutions for all core primary tobacco processes like slicing, conditioning, casing, flavoring, cutting, drying and expanding, as well as feeding the cigarette machines.

As a result, the tobacco can be conveyed safely and reliably through all primary processing stages. Diverse belt characteristics like good release or extreme strength are what define our products. Ideal skirt belt types, or curtain/cover materials complete the offering.
