The mesh innovation for the corrugated board industry

BLUEBACKER is our innovative new process belt for the corrugated board industry with a robust and open mesh design.
As a top and lower belt, BLUEBACKER ensures more efficient processes in corrugated board production.

Our corrugator belt with revolutionary multi-layer mesh design

1 – CONDUCTO® technology: The woven-in bronze wire ensures a constant electrostatic dissipation and prevents the corrugated board from adhering.

2 – Transport / traction layer made from staple fiber yarn and aramid: Guarantees safe transport and secure grip of the corrugated board. Minimizes abrasion problems, thus providing a long service life with no adhesion problems.

3 – Carrier fabric made of monofilaments: Prevents the risk of belt elongation over the entire service life. Guarantees a high degree of cross stability and requires less assembly work.

Developed and produced in Germany.
On unmatched quality standard since 1925.

The benefits at a glance – The all-rounder for your corrugated board production

BLUEBACKER is the innovation for the corrugated board industry. It combines the most advanced weaving technology from almost 100 years of experience with forward-looking, economical and sustainable solutions for the needs of the corrugated board industry.

Hybrid mesh with interwoven bronze wire
Long service life
Significant savings in drive energy due to the lower weight per unit area
Constant electrical dissipation thanks to CONDUCTO® technology
Dimensional stability thanks to thermosetting and special mesh design

Efficiency across the board – thanks to reduced drive and heating energy

Thanks to high air permeability of the heating belt faster and uniform evaporation of the corrugated board.

Up to

40 %

less energy consumption*

Up to

50 %

higher production speed*

Up to

15 %

less drive energy*

*Depending on the specific conditions and installations at the place of use

BLUEBACKER impresses on various levels.

Optimized steam permeability ensures an increase in production speed.

Improved cross direction stability optimizes the bonding of the corrugated board.

Increased water permeability ensures a reduction in heating energy.

One mesh. Two functions.
As a top and lower belt.

Both the top and lower belts come with CONDUCTO® technology as standard that prevents the corrugated board from sticking. Any risk of fire can therefore be minimized. The lower belt is also available in two versions.

Uncoated

The uncoated version is universally suited to all corrugated board production systems, press systems, and production speeds.

Coated

With the coated version, the unique, tried-and-true silicone coating significantly increases paper grip. This makes the belt especially well suited for use with heavy corrugated boards and papers with a smooth surface.

The perfect complement. BLUEBACKER ECO GRIP SC.
The latest generation of drum lagging.

High process reliability. Made possible by a wide range of innovations.

Made from one piece of mesh

Endless splice without markings
Form-fit effect: structural harmonization between the surface of the lagging and belt
Easy disassembly without special tools

Latest pre-tensioning technology Simple Clamping System (SCS)

Clean and quick installation without solvent-based adhesives
No holes required in the roller cover

Full-surface polymer release layer

No twisting of the linings on the roller
Corrosion protection of the roller shell
High concentricity of the drum lagging thanks to high fitting accuracy (form fit)
