How ZipLink® changes the game in the bridge raiser section

In corrugated board production, every minute counts. One hour of downtime can cost between €3,000 and €5,000 in lost output – and nowhere is this risk higher than in the bridge raiser section.  

At this process step of corrugated production, belts face extreme operating conditions: 90% humidity, 90°C temperatures, and speeds over 500 m/min. Replacing a belt is complex, time-consuming, and costly. 

Many producers rely on mechanical fasteners to reduce downtime. But fasteners come with trade-offs: they create weak points, risk damaging pulleys and boards, and shorten belt lifetime. 

We knew there had to be a better way.
