On 26 September 2024, HAILEY celebrated its premiere as part of our 75th company anniversary celebrations - a significant day in the history of HELD. HAILEY is the first machine of the new generation and has a completely new design and many highlights. Over 100 innovative ideas have been realised during development - the result is something to be proud of!

With our continuous press technology, we can process a wide variety of materials on our plants and produce the following semi-finished products

A modern user interface based on current user experience requirements makes it easier to operate the already highly automated double belt press. Settings such as ‘Automatic machine start at time X’ and smart maintenance work can be scheduled via the new HMI. Automation leads to increased productivity and optimised machine utilisation.

Double belt presses from HELD are the ideal production systems for the continuous production of sheet and plate materials when using the through-feed method. Using various processes, such as continuous laminating, compacting, consolidation and smoothing, they allow different materials to be processed, such as films, fabrics, mats of fibres, granulates or powders. In each case, the respective components are run through the press between two endless steel belts – either individually or together. At the intake and the outlet, these steel belts are looped around heated steel drums. Pressure plates, with which heat and pressure are applied to the conveyed materials, are located between them in the so-called reaction zone. The temperature zones can be individually adjusted.

LEDs indicate the loading. This means that material can be intuitively loaded onto the unwinder.

The LED strip is the visual highlight and eye-catcher of the new generation. The significant light curve shows the temperature inside the reaction zone based on software that calculates the current temperature and outputs a corresponding colour as a ‘heat equivalent’. The gradient can be customised according to customer requirements.

Revolutionary belt and seal change - More time for the essentials: Your material! A new spindle concept simplifies the replacement of steel belts and seals. The spindles, which connect the upper and lower press structure, can be raised completely. A significantly reduced maintenance time leads to less downtime and cuts costs

Highly reduced energy consumption: Intelligent energy recovery, especially in the high-temperature range. Design-related space saving thanks to a new secondary circuit unit. New pressure medium unit that uses resources according to consumption. Reduced downtime thanks to predictable maintenance & new spindle concept
