Thermobonding of Insulation Materials

The production of insulation materials requires reliable thermal bonding of the fibers used. Whether mineral-based, synthetic, or organic – the materials must be shaped and permanently stabilized. Single- and double-belt ovens are used in this process, where process belts play a central role in ensuring production quality and efficiency.

Benefits

GKD process belts enable uniform bonding at high production speeds with minimal tolerances. Their high cross stability ensures precise calibration and consistent compression of insulation materials. Mark-free seam connections prevent imprints on the final product, while the belts’ high temperature resistance guarantees long service life and minimal downtime.

Solution

For thermobonding, GKD offers a wide range of process belts made of metal, plastic, or hybrid materials. Depending on the oven type and material, antistatic hybrid mesh belts, PPS-Duofil® belts, or metallic mesh belts are used. The belts are suitable for both single- and double-belt ovens and are individually tailored to the requirements of each system.

Typical Features

High cross stability for precise calibration and compression
Mark-free hook or welded seams
Temperature-resistant wire materials for long service life
Non-stick coatings to reduce fiber adhesion
Customized mesh constructions for different fiber types
