Wood industry

Wood processing machines require a wide range of industrial belting. Head has developed a leading range of solutions using power transmission, conveyor, processing and timing belts. This means that we can offer you the most suitable product for every application: from solid wood processing to board and panel manufacturing, to production lines for all types of engineered wood products.

HEAD recommended the smooth surface HEAD Clean drive belt with flights to hold the wood slates off the belt surface, which allowed excess glue to drip onto the solid belt surface below. The closed surface eliminated the drip through of the heavy glue onto the conveyor components

Diverse kinds of application require different requests on the belts. We offer therefore various types of high duty flat belts. Every component guarantees a certain characteristic which assures suitability for various applications and materials. We achieve a high traction force with a traction layer based on polyamide. This assures a high resistance to tearing and high-tension elasticity. The running side or power transmitting side of the belt can be surfaced with elastomer or chrome leather. This combination ensures that HEAD high performance belts can be used in the wood industry:

·        one-side and both-side leather covered belts

·        applications in saw mills

·        transmission in the paper industry

·        in water-power mills

·        one-side and both-side rubber covered belts
