STEEL BELTS FOR WOOD BASED PANELS

HIGH-QUALITY PROCESSING OF RAW MATERIALS: To adapt the belt properties to customer-specific requirements, a continuous development of the production methods and material selection is needed. The Berndorf Band Group devotes tremendous attention to research and development both in terms of production flows and the processes that are essential to the customer. Aside from our high-quality endless Steel Belts, we offer customer service that is second to none and effective training centered around the Steel Belt.

Whether they are used for the production of particle boards and MDF boards used in furniture or for creating premium-quality surfaces on furniture, kitchen countertops or laminate floors, Berndorf Steel Belts are synonymous with dependable and premium quality made in Austria. Manufacturers also count on our Steel Belts for the continuous production of OSB, which is widely used in home building.

TEXTURED STEEL BELTS FOR LAMINATES

The importance of producing products that are as close to nature as possible is growing in the laminate industry. Our registered embossing process combines the appearance of real wood or stone with the durability of laminate flooring, and also translates this natural look into a natural feel for the products. The result is flooring with wood decors that are virtually identical to the original materials.

We use a high-precision manufacturing process to produce raw steel belts, which form the basis of a continuous production process that produces synchronous surface textures. Highly advanced digital printing and etching technology optimizes repeatability, ensuring a consistent embossing result and the incorporation of customer-specific designs. In addition to the use of embossing in register textures, we provide exclusive Gloss or Matt Effect variants for continuous press Steel Belts.

Properties

Thanks to extensive research and development work, special steels have been developed to withstand the high demands of manufacturing products for various applications. The Steel Belts are state of the art in terms of mechanical, physical and geometrical properties. This enables them to withstand constant dynamic loads over a long period.
