In leather processing, the squeezing machine (also known as a leather wringer or squeezing roller press) plays a critical role in removing excess water from hides after liming, tanning, or dyeing. But the unsung hero of this process? The felt belt.
If you are experiencing uneven moisture removal, surface marks, or frequent belt replacements, your current felt belt might be the weak link. That is where Annilte comes in.
What Makes Annilte Felt Belt Different for Leather Squeezing Applications
Annilte felt belts are engineered specifically for high-pressure leather squeezing machines. Unlike standard industrial felts, our belts offer:
Pain Points Solved by Annilte Felt Belt
| Industry Pain Point | Annilte Solution |
|---|---|
| Uneven moisture after squeezing | Uniform felt density and calibrated water pick-up rate |
| Frequent belt deformation or edge curling | Heat-set polyester/polyamide blend with anti-curl treatment |
| Short service life (2–4 weeks) | Reinforced needling technology extends life to 8–12 weeks on average |
| Belt slipping or misalignment | Precision endless joint with anti-tracking guide |
| Surface grain damage on expensive hides | Superfine surface layer reduces friction and marking |
Compatible with Leading Leather Squeezing Machine Brands
Annilte felt belts are designed to retrofit and perform on industry-standard equipment, including:
Whether your machine is a roller squeezer, pressure wringer, or a felt-type extracting press, Annilte provides custom sizes and joint types (endless, alligator, or pin joint).
Real Application – Wet Blue, Crust, and Split Leather
Tannery managers often ask: “Can one felt belt work for both wet blue and crust leather?”
With Annilte – yes. Our multi-layer felt structure adapts to different moisture levels and hide thicknesses. For wet blue (45–55% moisture), the belt rapidly transports water to the roller nip. For crust leather, the smooth surface prevents fiber pull-out and sticking.
