Our Products
ArmorEdge®
ArmorPress® belts, either uncoated or Teflon coated, can have the addition of ArmorEdge® to the belts which serves to reinforce and stabilize the edges. This leads to enhanced performance and life of the belt.
ArmorPress® Single Facer Pressure Belt
Nextwire® has engineered the next generation belt for the Corrugator Industry. Utilizing innovative ArmorPress® woven metal fabric with optimal wire and mesh configuration, 16% more surface contact is created for an improved bond and heat transfer. ArmorPress® is offered uncoated, teflon, or with silicone coating for easy release and increased productivity.
Minimal narrowing and no seam marking combined with longer life contribute to increased production efficiency with numerous reports of belts running in excess of 100 million linear feet. ArmorPress® has a proven track record and is becoming the belt of choice among Corrugator plant engineers.
- Minimal Narrowing
- 16% increase in surface contact
- Frequent runs beyond 100 MLF
- Pre-tested for Tracking
- No seam marking
- Inventory of Stock Sizes Available
Bluebacker Corrugator Belt
The new generation HybridMesh has an open and robust mesh structure that reduce noise emissions and increases traction features. This is suitable for universal use on double facer machinery. The surface features ensure safe traction of the corrugated board during the whole bonding process. The belt is supplied with a flock seam. The lower belt also has a silicone coated option.
- Excellent flatness and directional stability of corrugated medium
- Consistent belt properties due to heat setting process
- High level of transverse stability and consistent belt running
- Kevlar Edge reinforcement to avoid abrasion wear
- Saving electric drive energy up to 15% - 20%
- Reduced glue consumption due to faster evaporation
- Up to 9% less heating energy and about 5% less glue in the drying process
- Significant increase in production speed due to faster drying of the medium
- Standardly electrostatic dissipation and Kevlar edges to avoid abrasion wear on heat plates
Caul Screens
CleanSheen II and CleanSheen Pro caul screens are considered the industry standard in North America. The unique composition of brass electroplated high tensile wire results in improved cleaning capability, increased heat transfer, corrosion and rust resistance and a smooth surface for better release. CleanSheen Pro is also available in a stainless steel and brass coated combination. All screens are manufactured to site specifications and can be provided with tow bars attached to eliminate on-site assembly. Nextwire specializes in customization and additional options as requested.
Continuous Press Belts and Screens
Nextwire has the capability of manufacturing a single length up to 650 feet. Due to our manufacturing capabilities, we are also able to provide site specific material combinations to meet your needs. Multiple seaming options are available as well as on-site field service brazing.
ECO Grip SC for Drum Lagging
Bluebacker ECO Grip SC is the latest generation of drum lagging. The ECO Grip SC is applied as one piece across the entire width of the drum, which reduces the risk of gliding between the drive roller and the belt. With the Bluebacker ECO Grip SC, you can have a belt that has:
- Latest pre-tensioning technology "Simple Clamping System" (SCS)
- Clean and quick installation without solvent-based adhesives
- No drilled holes required in the drum surface
- Full surface polymer layer
- Endless splice without marking
- Form-fit effect: structural harmonization between the surface of the lagging and the belt
- Removal possible without special tools
- No twisting of the lagging on the drum
- Full-surface polymer layer protects drum from corrosion
- High degree of concentricity of the drum lagging due to high fitting accuracy
Edge Options
The addition of edge treatments may significantly increase belt life and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Forming Belts
Nextwire manufactures spiral link and woven synthetic fabrics ranging from 250 to 1,200 CFM in a variety of weave patterns. Our extensive inventories ensure that Nextwire has the ability to provide your required material for deaeration, pre-compression, pre-heating or other forming applications. Multiple seam and edge options treatments provide for an array of operating parameters.
Metal Wires
Nextwire offers an extensive selection of wire belting to handle your most demanding processes. Our featured broadlooms are capable of producing stainless steel, bronze, invar, and other exotic metals in a variety of weaving configurations. In addition to our standard woven products, Nextwire is able to offer Teflon coating for added release, reinforced edges and edge treatments to promote increased life and productivity.
Pulp Washing and Bleaching
Nextwire has extensive inventories of stainless steel, Kynar and ArmorCloth hybrid woven wires designed to withstand extreme pH ranges and temperatures. Mesh openings range from 10 to 100 mesh to allow maximum drainage and fiber retention. As the largest broadloom weaver of pulp filtration fabrics in North America, Nextwire can offer widths up to 315” in most fabrics.
Recovery
Our ArmorFilter has become the fabric of choice for lime mud filters. Its unique construction results in the tightest woven stainless-steel wire available on the market. The high mesh count in the machine direction creates a fabric that lies flat on the drum with minimal edge ripple and results in faster sheet formation and reduced start up time. Our unique method of installation ensures better end sealing. Nextwire offers a variety of synthetic fabrics for twin wire presses. We can also supply specialty fabrics such as salt cake filters, disc filter bags and AES screens.
Recycle
Nextwire offers a variety of fabrics used in the recycle process such as de-inking, pulping, sorting, and paper making.
Seam and Edge Options
Nextwire offers a variety of seams and edges for both synthetic and metal belts to provide optimal results.
