Machine tapes
Multipurpose belts for printing and paper applications
When you need top-quality machine tapes to convey, speed up, slow down, position, or fold paper material in your applications, you can count on Habasit. Our machine tapes draw on years of experience, ongoing research, and close cooperation with the printing and paper industry. These high-performance belts are extremely reliable, have constant grip, and ensure a long service life.
Portfolio overview
We develop machine tapes made from hamid, polyamide and polyurethane, featuring abrasion-resistant NBR covers or other application-specific surface materials.

Hamid is a high-performance material used as polyamide traction layer or cover that provides excellent fexibility, strong mechanical strenght, and long service life. It ensures stable belt behavior, reliable grip, and consistent performance even in humid environments.
Main features:
- Adhesive-free joining with Flexproof or Quickmelt
- Uniform flexibility and low energy consumption
- High resistance to reverse bending and flex fatigue
- Suitable for small pulley diameters
- Dimensional stability with low humidity sensitivity
- High abrasion resistance and gentle, application-specific surface
- Elastic versions: suit short center distances and low loads. After running-in, they remain dimensionally stable and require no tensioning devices, simplifying machine design and reducing costs
Applications:
- Ideal for printing and paper processing, including folding positioning, accelerating, and other precise light-duty conveying tasks

The PA traction layer of these machine tapes is highly resilient and can cope with intermittent overloads, which prevents residual elongation. This makes retensioning unnecessary, and avoids costly and time-consuming machine downtimes.
Main features:
- Good dimensional stability
- Can cope with intermittent overloads, very robust and forgiving
- Very good reverse bending and flex-fatigue properties
- High abrasion resistance
- Application-oriented surface properties, gentle treatment of transported goods
Applications:
- Smooth and precise paper handling, for transport and processing, e.g. folder or crosscutter belt

Textile-structure friction covers made of TPU, speciffically developed for belt surfaces undergoing high stress, provide best-in-class abrasion resistance. The tape can be joined quickly by fusing the ends together without adhesives using the Flexproof or Quickmelt method. The elastic TPU foil traction layer permits quick installation with short machine downtimes.
Main features:
- Simple and fast adhesive-free joining method
- Uniform longitudinal flexibility thanks to the knock-free joint
- Best-in-class abrasion resistance
- Constant and gentle grip structure
- Gentle treatment of transported goods
- Elastic types are available and suitable for short center distances and transport of low weights. Despite their elasticity the belts remain dimensionally stable after running-in. They do not require tensioning devices. This allows a simpler machine design and saves costs
Applications:
- Material handling, postal, letter sorting, mail transport, curves and stacker sections
