Corrugated Board Production
Efficient. Sustainable. Future-proof.
In corrugated board production, energy efficiency, process reliability, and product quality are essential. GKD offers specially developed corrugator belts that meet – and surpass – these requirements.
The BLUEBACKER is our innovative process belt for modern corrugator systems: lightweight, durable, steam-permeable, and equipped with advanced technology.
As a long-standing partner to the corrugated industry, we understand the challenges of bonding the flute to the liner. Our solutions improve not only production speed but also reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of your process belts.
Detailed Application – Process Belts for Corrugated Board Production
In single-facer operations where the flute is bonded to the liner, corrugator belts play a critical role. These belts are a central element of the corrugator and directly affect energy efficiency, product quality, and process stability.
GKD process belts like BLUEBACKER combine modern materials with intelligent design:
- Low belt weight for reduced energy consumption
- High steam permeability for optimal drying
- Smooth running and high traction – even at high production speeds
- CONDUCTO® technology for constant electrostatic discharge and enhanced fire safety
Benefits of our Corrugator Belts
- Up to 40% less energy consumption
- Up to 50% more output
- Up to 15% less drive energy thanks to low weight per unit area
- Dimensional stability through specialized heat-setting
- Reduced fire risk due to constant electrostatic dissipation
- Universally compatible with all major corrugator systems
With BLUEBACKER, you choose a process belt that lowers production costs, increases operational reliability, and prepares your operation for the future.
