How can textile components and conveyor belts increase my plant productivity?

There are many that believe that high temperature textile belts have much more to offer manufacturers of delicate glass   articles in relation to helping them become more profitable and efficient.

Reduced level of defects, increased yield, reduced waste

Firstly, given their low thermal shock characteristics and softer contact properties compared with metal belts and ongoing performance and durability, production plants can expect to secure a greater yield of quality glass articles, without defects and marking. 

Low maintenance - and repairs are quick to fix

Any maintenance issues that arise, leading to unnecessary downtime and production problems, are quickly and easily put right with a textile belt. Textile belts do not require ongoing lubrication.  These factors mean that staff can get on with their work, meet deadlines and continue to delight their customers, in line with agreed schedules.
