High-Performance Belt Solutions for the Glass Manufacturing Industry by Movendis
Industry Context
The glass industry — whether it involves container glass, flat glass, or specialty ceramics — operates under extreme conditions. Manufacturing lines include high-temperature furnaces, heavy rollers, cutting stations, and precise transport systems. Power transmission must be stable, resistant to heat and dust, and vibration-free to avoid damaging fragile products.
At Movendis, we develop belts capable of delivering torque in the most demanding thermal and mechanical environments. Our solutions offer low vibration, precise motion, and chemical resistance — essential for glass cutting, annealing, and material handling.
Application Categories
Float & Flat Glass Lines
- Used to produce windows, mirrors, solar panels.
- Belts must operate near high-temperature furnaces.
- Our heat-resistant belts maintain integrity and length stability at elevated ambient temperatures.
Glass Bottle & Container Production
- Lines for high-speed molding, annealing, and packaging.
- Requires belts with precise timing and anti-slip surfaces.
- Movendis timing belts ensure high-speed synchronization and repeatable movement.
Cutting, Polishing & Etching Stations
- Where glass sheets are cut and treated.
- Movements must be smooth to prevent breakage.
- Our belts absorb shock and ensure exact positional control.
Transport & Conveyor Systems
- Glass is moved between furnaces, cooling lines, and inspection units.
- Belts need abrasion resistance, low vibration, and anti-marking surfaces.
Technical Highlights
Failure Modes Solved
- Belt elongation near furnaces — High-temp core and rubber structure resists thermal creep
- Micro-vibrations causing glass shift — Damped tension cords ensure steady motion
- Marking on polished surfaces — Smooth-contact belts leave no trace
- Slipping in high-speed cutters — Grip-tuned timing belts maintain sync
Belt Technologies Available
- High-Temp Timing Belts – Stable synchronization in extreme heat zones
- Polyurethane Flat Belts – Durable and non-marking for delicate transfer
- Molded Notched Belts – For curved or complex drive paths
- Anti-static Options – For areas with high dust or electrostatic buildup
