Versiv High Temperature, High Pressure Double Belt Press

Double belt press lamination is a continuous roll-to-roll process that uses controlled heat, pressure, and dwell time to bond, consolidate, or process layered materials. It can be used for films, foils, fabrics, adhesives, thermoplastics, and multi-material composite constructions.

Hot calendering uses heated rolls and typically has a shorter dwell time. A double belt press provides continuous uniform pressure over a longer heated zone, which can offer better consolidation, more controlled resin flow, and improved consistency for certain laminates.

A range of materials can be processed, including films,foils, fabrics, reinforcement layers, adhesives, thermoplastics, and othercomposite constructions. Suitability depends on the material combination,processing temperature, pressure requirements, and final product goals.

A double belt press provides continuous processing with controlled heat, pressure, dwell time, and cooling. This helps support consistent consolidation, controlled thickness, smooth surface finish, effective air evacuation, and repeatable laminate quality.
Depending on the lamination temperature and process requirements, cooling can be integrated at the end of the press or managed through a dedicated cooling zone.

Double belt press tolling allows customers to access our continuous lamination capabilities without investing in their own equipment. We process customer-supplied materials using our double belt press, supporting product development, trials, scale-up, and ongoing production. Where required, trials can be carried out with customer supervision or participation, allowing process conditions and laminate outcomes to be reviewed directly during development.

Yes. Tolling is ideal for early-stage trials, materialvalidation, process optimisation, and scale-up before committing to largerproduction volumes.

Yes. Once the process and material construction are validated, double belt press tolling can support repeat production with consistent processing conditions.

Yes. Our team can review the material construction and intended application to help identify suitable starting conditions for trials.

Yes. Customers can supply their own films, fabrics, foils, adhesives, or other materials for toll processing, subject to technical review.

The best approach is to share the material construction, processing requirements, and target performance. From there, the team can assess whether double belt press tolling is a good fit.

Typical starting points include material types, layer structure, target thickness, required width, temperature limits, pressure requirements, desired surface finish, and final application. Where applicable, customers should also provide relevant technical data sheets and safety data sheets to support process review and material handling requirements.

Yes. Depending on the material construction and release surface used, differentsurface finishes and textures may be possible.

It can support applications across composites, industrial laminates, technical textiles, insulation materials, protective layers, release surfaces, and multi-material composite constructions and many more.

Yes. Additional converting steps such as slitting, spooling, rewinding, and roll preparation can be considered depending on the material construction, finished width, roll length, and handling requirements.
