Technical Days: Expert On-Site Training for Maximum Steel Belt Performance
Berndorf, february 2026: Production lines around the world rely on Steel Belts to deliver stable, efficient, and high-quality output. To ensure that customers can operate their Steel Belt Systems reliably and extend the lifetime of their Steel Belts, the Berndorf Band Group offers Technical Days — exclusive, on-site training sessions held directly at customer facilities.
The Berndorf Band Group regularly organizes Technical Days at customer sites worldwide. These sessions are designed to teach correct Steel Belt handling, share industry best practices, and jointly inspect the customer’s equipment to identify maintenance needs at an early stage.
These hands-on workshops empower production teams, maintenance teams, engineers, and managers with practical know-how that improves both equipment availability and operational efficiency. Technical Days are not generic training events; they are tailored, industry-specific knowledge transfers built on decades of technical expertise.
Our Technical Days are conducted by Berndorf Band Group’s technically trained product managers, often accompanied by the service team. Internally known as “firefighters,” these experts spend much of their time solving complex customer problems worldwide.
A Technical Day is typically structured into two key parts:
The day begins with a deep dive into the fundamental knowledge required for optimal Steel Belt operation. Topics typically include:
The second part of the Technical Day takes place directly at the production line. This is where theory becomes reality. Berndorf Band Group experts and customer teams jointly:
A central component of Technical Days is the strong focus on proactive maintenance. The Berndorf Band Group not only supplies high-quality Steel Belts and spare parts, but also offers comprehensive Steel Belt Service – from belt inspections and repairs to shot peening and refurbishment.
During the workshop, participants learn:
Technical Days are more than training sessions — they are practical knowledge transfers during the production process. Customers receive immediate value through concrete recommendations that improve their production processes long-term.
Technical Days are offered across multiple industries, and each session is adapted to the unique operational realities of that sector:
In test application environments, precision and repeatability are essential. Technical Days help teams control belt-related variables that influence test accuracy — including surface condition, alignment, and thermal behavior. This ensures stable and reliable test results.
In film & membrane production, even small surface defects can affect product quality. Technical Days focus on maintaining perfect belt surfaces, ensuring stable temperatures, and preventing contamination to reduce waste and improve output.
Food production requires strict hygiene and reliable belt handling. During Technical Days, teams learn how to clean Steel Belts properly, detect early wear, and avoid contamination risks — ensuring safe and efficient operations.
In the laminates & wood based panels industry, Steel Belts operate under high temperatures and heavy loads. Technical Days help teams identify thermal wear, maintain belt stability, and prevent unplanned downtime in continuous pressing processes.
Technical Days are offered exclusively to Berndorf Band Group customers. This exclusivity reflects their purpose to…
For many customers, these workshops are a key reason they continue choosing Berndorf — or expand their cooperation over time.
Whether the goal is to increase belt lifetime, prevent failures, train teams, or optimize machinery, Technical Days empower customers to take their production performance to the next level.
