Horizontal Vacuum Belts deposit the sheets into the hopper in a controlled manner, without them hitting the backstop. This approach ensures the smoothest operation and eliminates the major causes of jam-ups such as interlocking sheets or flaps folding back. Extremely robust and mechanically stable filter belts guarantee resistance to abrasion and chemical attack on all machine types and models. These belts are made of polyester, polypropylene or polyamide and possess an aperture range of 10 to 1000 microns for applications including the manufacture of dyes & pigments and dewatering mineral concentrates amongst many others.
