In leather processing, the squeezing machine (also known as a leather wringer or squeezing roller press) plays a critical role in removing excess water from hides after liming, tanning, or dyeing. But the unsung hero of this process? The felt belt.

If you are experiencing uneven moisture removal, surface marks, or frequent belt replacements, your current felt belt might be the weak link. That is where Annilte comes in.

What Makes Annilte Felt Belt Different for Leather Squeezing Applications

Annilte felt belts are engineered specifically for high-pressure leather squeezing machines. Unlike standard industrial felts, our belts offer:

• Superior water absorption – Quickly wicks moisture from the leather surface
• Consistent compression resistance – Maintains uniform pressure across the roller width
• Smooth, mark-free finish – Prevents grain cracking or pressure lines on wet blue and crust leather
• Excellent dimensional stability – No stretching or narrowing under heat and moisture

Pain Points Solved by Annilte Felt Belt

Compatible with Leading Leather Squeezing Machine Brands

Annilte felt belts are designed to retrofit and perform on industry-standard equipment, including:

• Moso (Italy)
• Gemata (Italy)
• Bergi (Sweden/Italy)
• Cartigliano (Italy)
• Mostardini (Italy)
• Frizza (Italy)
• Turner (USA)
• Chienta (Taiwan)

Whether your machine is a roller squeezer, pressure wringer, or a felt-type extracting press, Annilte provides custom sizes and joint types (endless, alligator, or pin joint).

Real Application – Wet Blue, Crust, and Split Leather

Tannery managers often ask: “Can one felt belt work for both wet blue and crust leather?”

With Annilte – yes. Our multi-layer felt structure adapts to different moisture levels and hide thicknesses. For wet blue (45–55% moisture), the belt rapidly transports water to the roller nip. For crust leather, the smooth surface prevents fiber pull-out and sticking.

Why Tannery Operators Choose Annilte over Generic Felts

• Lower cost per ton of leather – Longer belt life reduces downtime and replacement frequency.
• Less water reabsorption – Optimized fiber composition prevents rewetting after the nip point.
• Easy installation – Pre-stretched belts arrive ready for tensioning.
• Factory-direct support – We provide installation guides and troubleshooting.
