BHS Corrugated is introducing iBelt®, a new generation of intelligent spare parts solutions. iBelt® is part of BHS Corrugated's iParts product family, which provides connected and predictive components for corrugators.
With the intelligent belt control system for Single Facers from BHS Corrugated, corrugated board manufacturers can significantly increase machine availability, reduce waste, and extend the lifetime of their pressure belts. The system combines automated belt control with AI-supported condition monitoring and integrates seamlessly into iCorr® Operations Support. This allows maintenance requirements to be identified at an early stage and minimizes unplanned downtime.
Key advantages of iBelt®:
- Higher machine availability: A fourfold redundant sensor system ensures maximum reliability, with control independent of the belt edges.
- Waste reduction: Intelligent control minimizes material loss – up to 70% less shrinkage of the pressure belt.
- Cost savings: Up to 50% longer pressure belt life thanks to optimized tension and alignment. OEM-tested belts ensure consistent performance.
iBelt® is a key product within Corruverse on the road to digital and resource-efficient corrugated board production. With this solution, BHS Corrugated reinforces its promise to be a Lifecycle Partner for its customers while driving innovation, efficiency and sustainability.
