An innovative edge cooling system prevents the edges of the rubber belt becoming brittle if not covered by fabric during the shrinkage process; increasing the service life of the belt.
The edge of the belt is cooled by a width-adjustable water spray mist, creating a more homogeneous temperature profile over the complete rubber belt width.
The water used can be recycled in a water recovery plant, ensuring there is no increase in cooling water consumption.
The fabric shrinkage factor is also increased with a larger diameter heated drum ensuring an extended contact area of fabric between the shrinkage cylinders and the rubber belt.
