Competence from a single source
Siempelkamp’s service range for the rubber industry
For over 130 years Siempelkamp has been the expert for presses and plants for the production of flat panel materials and molded
products. Experience, innovation and expert knowledge also characterize the presses and plants for the rubber industry. Next to planning,
design and production processes, Siempelkamp also carries out the installation and start-up of the equipment. In this way, customers
worldwide benefit from our proven “all from a single source” principle.
Siempelkamp press systems for products in the rubber industry convince with obvious advantages: They feature long-life cycles, high
reliability and efficiency as well as unequaled repeat accuracy when obtaining the transparent process parameters. That is why the
Krefeld machine and plant engineering company is the world market leader in the plant segment for the area of steel cord and textile
conveyor belts: the majority of all conveyor belts used worldwide are manufactured on Siempelkamp equipment.
Siempelkamp presses are well suited for the reliable and economic production of many different rubber products for numerous application areas.
