The multi-functional nature of corrugator belts — transportation of the sheet through the double-backer while transferring heat and loads and providing optimum pulling of the board — means operational success is dependent upon durability and high-performance, regardless of grade.

At Albany International, we’ve developed the ideal belt for every application.



Designed to Deliver an Extra Measure of Performance

Constructed of a 4-layer woven base and 100% polyester fibers and yarns, DURA-DRY® 2000 is tough enough to withstand the heat and stress of today’s modern double-backers, yet permeable enough to allow rapid drying. Our patented processing technique and excellent seam-to-belt uniformity provides an extra measure of safety against board marking.

In addition, the belt’s mechanical and chemical processing have been optimized for improved durability, caliper retention and resistance to contamination. It allows excellent pressure transfer on all systems, eliminates stretching and contraction, and is more resistant to thermal degradation.

Patented Coating is Key to Preventing Slippage

Transporting board from the glue station to the stacker without crush on beltless machines requires a belt with a higher coefficient of friction than standard belts can offer. DURAGRIP® was developed for just this reason.

An enhanced blue, ultra-tough, impermeable coating has been applied to the board side to increase friction and ensure positive transport of board regardless of machine configuration or auxiliary equipment.

Specially Formulated Surface Means
Improved Edge Wear

The newest member of Albany International’s world-recognized “DURA” family of corrugator belts, DURAGUARD™ is constructed of a 4-layer woven base and 100% polyester fibers and yarns. Its surface is treated with Albany’s specially formulated coating, designed to virtually eliminate starch build-up while providing excellent durability against edge wear, the primary cause of top belt replacement. Available completely coated as a top belt for narrow runs or an optional 20” edge coating for wider runs, DURAGUARD’s durable, cleaner-running surface can improve production and increase board quality in a variety of operating environments.

The Durable Solution for Single Facer Machines

Chemically impregnated to withstand the high speeds, high tension and high heat of the industry’s newest and fastest single-facer machines, DURAMAX™ is constructed of an endless woven fabric with no seam for maximum strength and durabillity. Its strength, durability, and reliability in increasingly aggressive operating environments makes DURAMAX™ the belt of choice for boardmakers wishing to optimize single-facer performance.

Designed to Prevent Belt-to-Pulley Slippage

Designed especially to prevent belt-to-pulley slippage on today's high-speed corrugators, DURA-DRIVE® LAGGING is constructed of two layers of 100% synthetic fabric and manufactured with the same high-tech fibers and yarns as DURA-DRY® 2000.

The fabric is heat stabilized for strength and chemically treated for fiber bonding and abrasion resistance. Available in widths of 18.5”, 20”, 22.5", 25.5” and 28” and in lengths of 20’, 40’, 60’, 80’ and 100’, DURA-DRIVE® LAGGING will cover any typical machine. It is manufactured in a nominal thickness of .180” (Style 2203.)
