Habasit

Habasit is a Swiss manufacturer of conveyor belts, drive belts and process belts for industrial applications and is a global market leader in fabric-based conveyor belts and plastic modular belts. The company, founded in 1946 in Reinach, Switzerland, delivers solutions for virtually all sectors of the manufacturing industry. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 847 Habasit products are available for direct delivery.

The Habasit range includes fabric-reinforced PVC and polyurethane conveyor belts for food processing and logistics, plastic modular belts for meat processing, bakery products and packaging lines, synthetic timing belts for precision drives, flat drive belts and V-belts, and special process belts for the paper, textile and printing industries.

Habasit Cleandrive belts are specifically designed for the food processing industry and comply with the strictest hygiene requirements, including EU directive 10/2011 for food contact. These belts are manufactured without textile reinforcement, are completely transparent and can withstand cleaning up to 90 degrees Celsius. The monolithic construction without seams or pores prevents bacterial growth and enables thorough cleaning with high-pressure wash-down systems. The modular design of Habasit plastic modular belts allows direct per-segment repair on the conveyor line without full dismantling.

Habasit food industry belts are available in diverse configurations including the 2P, 3P and 4T series for various food applications, the SGR and SG series for grooved and special surfaces, and various anti-slip versions for incline conveyors. The 2TCE and 3DD series are specifically optimised for the handling and transport of meat and dairy products.

For precision drive applications, Habasit delivers synthetic polyurethane timing belts in metric (AT, T) and imperial (MXL, XL, L) configurations. These belts feature low elongation, excellent geometric accuracy and resistance to oil and chemicals. They are available with steel, Kevlar or carbon fibre tension cord for extreme load applications. Flat drive belts (A series, including A2, A3, A2LL, A2LT) are suitable for power transmission applications in manufacturing.

Habasit modular plastic belts (Flat Top, Open Grid, Side Flexing series) are assembled from individual plastic links that are easy to replace per segment when worn or damaged. Hinge rods are available in stainless steel or plastic depending on cleaning requirements and medium compatibility. Open grid versions provide optimal air circulation for cooling products on the conveyor line.

At Verkopershulp.nl you can order Habasit belts to custom dimensions or have standard lengths delivered immediately. Our product specialists advise on the correct material specification, belt thickness, belt width and end connection type for your specific conveying or drive application.

History

Habasit was founded in 1946 in Reinach, Switzerland, by Ernst Hirschi as a manufacturer of transmission belts for the Swiss textile industry during the postwar industrialisation period. In the 1950s and 1960s, Habasit introduced coated textile belts for food processing and strongly expanded its activities across Western Europe, driven by the growing food processing industry. The introduction of thermoplastic PVC belts in the 1970s significantly broadened the application field to include logistics and packaging. The launch of Cleandrive monolithic food belts in the 1990s was a breakthrough in hygienic conveyor technology that revolutionised the food industry. Today, Habasit has more than 4,000 employees and production locations in 15 countries, with a global network of more than 100 service and sales offices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of Habasit Cleandrive belts compared to conventional fabric-reinforced belts?
Habasit Cleandrive belts are manufactured without textile reinforcement, meaning there are no seams or pores where bacteria can nest. They are completely transparent (visual inspection of contamination), resistant to high-pressure cleaning processes up to 90 degrees Celsius, and comply with EU directive 10/2011 for food contact.
Which Habasit conveyor belts are suitable for the meat processing industry?
For meat processing applications, we recommend the Habasit Cleandrive series (monolithic) or the Habasit SNB/SNR modular belts made of polyacetal (POM) material. These are resistant to meat juices, fatty media, and aggressive cleaning agents, and comply with all applicable food contact material directives.
Can I order custom Habasit belts at Verkopershulp.nl?
Yes, we can produce Habasit belts to measure in desired width, length, and end connection type. Send us your dimensions and specifications and we will arrange a custom belt with typically 5-10 business days delivery time from the Habasit factory.
Which Habasit timing belts are suitable for high-precision drive applications?
The Habasit AT5 and AT10 timing belts with steel or Kevlar tension cord offer excellent dimensional stability and low elongation, ideal for high-precision CNC drives, linear drive systems, and coordinate measuring machines. For extremely high loads, the AT20 and ATL series are available.
Are Habasit belts resistant to chemicals and oils?
Habasit offers belts in various material versions resistant to specific chemicals, oils, and fats. Polyurethane belts offer excellent oil resistance, while special EPDM and silicone rubber versions are resistant to high temperatures and aggressive cleaning agents.
How quickly are Habasit belts delivered through Verkopershulp.nl?
Standard lengths of common Habasit belts are directly in stock and shipped the same business day. Custom belts and special versions are typically delivered within 5-10 business days. Rush instructions are available for emergencies.
What is the difference between fabric-reinforced and modular Habasit belts?
Fabric-reinforced belts are continuous belts of coated textile, suitable for high speeds and precise guidance applications. Modular belts are built from individual plastic links that are easy to replace or repair per segment, ideal for conveyors with bends, wet environments, and applications where partial repair is necessary.
Does Habasit also offer silicone rubber belts for high-temperature applications?
Yes, Habasit delivers silicone rubber belts resistant to continuous temperatures up to 230 degrees Celsius. These are used in bakery ovens, glass production, electronics processing ovens, and other industrial thermal processes. NSF-certified versions are available for food contact applications.
