If you run a leather tannery or finishing plant, you know that the leather setting out machine (also called a samming or wringing machine) is critical for removing excess water from wet blue or wet white leather before drying.

But here’s the problem many production managers face: the conveyor belt fails too often.

A poor-quality leather wringing machine conveyor belt leads to stretching, slipping, uneven water extraction, and costly downtime. That’s where Annilte comes in.

The Hidden Cost of a Low-Quality Wringing Belt

Let’s talk about what really matters to you — uptime, consistency, and total cost of ownership.

Pain Point #1: Belt Stretching
Standard felt belts stretch under tension and moisture. Result? Misalignment, edge damage, and premature replacement.

Pain Point #2: Inconsistent Water Removal
Uneven belt thickness or poor compression causes some areas of leather to remain too wet, ruining subsequent drying and finishing.

Pain Point #3: Frequent Replacements
Each belt change means 2–4 hours of lost production. On a busy line, that’s hundreds of square meters of leather not processed.

Pain Point #4: Compatibility with Major OEM Machines
You need a belt that fits your specific machine — Cartigliano, Bergi, Mostardini, or other leading brands. Generic belts often cause tracking issues.

Annilte: Engineered for Leather Setting Out Machines

Annilte conveyor belts are designed specifically for leather wringing and setting out applications. Here’s why tanneries worldwide are switching to Annilte:

• Zero-stretch construction — Maintains tension and tracking even in wet, high-load conditions.
• Optimized compression — Ensures uniform water extraction across the entire leather width.
• Chemical & heat resistance — Withstands tannery chemicals, moisture, and moderate heat without degradation.
• Compatible with major brands — Direct fit for Cartigliano, Bergi, Mostardini, and other OEM setting out machines.
• Custom sizes available — Width, length, thickness, and surface finish tailored to your machine.

Real-World Performance

Tanneries using Annilte belts report:

• 40% longer belt life vs. standard felt belts
• Less than 1% moisture variation across the leather web
• Zero tracking issues when installed correctly
• Direct replacement — no machine modifications needed
