Plants for the<br />

rubber industry<br />

In 1908 the fi rst conveyor belt press was developed. In 1928 the fi rst <strong>Siempelkamp</strong><br />

heavy-duty vulcanizing press with a closed frame design was successfully put into<br />

operation. These milestones illustrate that <strong>Siempelkamp</strong>, in its founding years, served<br />

an important competence area, that is, presses for the rubber industry. Then, as well<br />

as now, our presses and plants for rubber have had an excellent reputation. The main<br />

reasons, such as long life cycles, speed, high availability and effi ciency, have set standards<br />

worldwide. The different systems produce steel cord conveyor belts, textile conveyor<br />

belts, and rubber sheets and mats with smooth and profi led surfaces.<br />

<strong>Siempelkamp</strong> conveyor belt presses for steel cord and textile conveyor belts are products<br />

that are established in their markets. The presses operate according to the multi-piston<br />

concept, and thus represent a new generation of conveyor belt vulcanizing presses. The<br />

products manufactured on these presses are used in mining. Belt conveyors are regarded<br />

as reliable transport systems that are economical, effi cient and environment-friendly<br />

due to their low energy demand.
