}

Power transmission belts

Industry
Industrial equipment
Extruded profiles used in conveying i.e. tiles and other larger components through factories. The strength of Arnitel in such applications is the combination of high temperature resistance and creep, leading to less servicing.}

Truck Trailer Power and Signal Cord

Industry
Automotive
Application with a perfect match for the Arnitel performance. Being outdoor in UV, surviving many years in operation, securing power and signal transfer from truck to trailer.}
