UNDISPUTED PERFORMANCE

BETA Machinery inherited the legacy and continues the tradition of the historical Officina Meccanica Beta Spa in the field of finishing machinery for textile fabrics, techni-cal textiles and nonwovens.

Established in 1959 in Busto Arsizio, Italy, BETA distinguished itself in the design and production of high quality finishing machinery, in particular squeezing padders, dyeing padders, and high pressure calenders. In 60 years of activity, over 2.000 machines and 10.000 rolls have been built and sold all around the world.

BETA Padders and Calenders are equipped with the Beta-Roll®, an exclusive patented system that assures the uniform distribution of both working pressure and temperature along the whole tablewidth of the rolls.

BETA machines are designed using 3D and FEA software solutions and are built with high quality raw materials and primary brands components. Our machines are recognized worldwide for their top quality, sturdy construction, long life and high flexibility. Particular emphasis is devoted to the design of the safety systems, in accord-ance with the strictest regulations.

Since 2010 BETA is part of the Comerio Ercole Group, with a turn-over of 120+M€. Within the Group we share the same innovative spirit, dedication, technology and safety procedures.

Beta-Roll® for Padder

All BETA padders are equipped with the Beta-Roll®, our exclusive patented system for equipressure.

The design of our Padders allows great accessibility for maintenance, cleaning, roll disassembling and threading.

� Zero roll deflection at any working pressure

� Pick-up (residual water percentage): 38% (depending on rubber type, speed, pressure, web...)

� OPTIONAL: stainless steel frame; motor-driven rolls’ spacer devices

� Microengraved steel roll

� Stainless steel trough

� Micrometric thickness regulation

� Two foam distribution heads, for single or double side impregnation of the web

� OPTIONAL: circulation of cooling liquid in the rolls

Multiple impregnation groups can be designed according to the technical requirements of the Customer.

Micrometric thickness regulation can be independently set for each impregnation group and on each side of the rolls.

Movable and liftable stainless steel troughs can be included to offer turnkey plants.

Beta-Roll®

Impregnation

All BETA machines are equipped with the Beta-Roll®, an exclusive BETA patented system whose principle is based on a simple mechanical system. This patent underwent further modifications and improvements in order to allow its use for Calender’s rolls too.

The Beta-Roll® is now produced in two main versions, one for Padders and one for Calenders, and can be used with working widths up to six meters.

The Beta-Roll® is parallel ground and can reach great working pressures (linear pressure up to 100 N/mm for Padders and 300 N/mm for Calenders) with no deflection along the whole roll’s surface and at all working pressures, from zero to the maximum value.

ImpregnationBETA Padders vs Competitors

BETA machines are designed with great attention toward energy saving and sustainability.Our Padders deliver a very high pressure, which translates into higher production speed and productivity; a consistent reduction in water consumption; a huge energy saving in the drying of the squeezed fabric/nonwoven web; and a dramatic cut in the operational costs of the production line.

� Zero roll deflection at any working pressure

� Compact and light frame

� Temperature deviation on the roll table ± 1°C

� OPTIONAL: motor-driven rolls’ spacer devices

All BETA calenders for hot and cold treatment are equipped with the Beta-Roll®, our exclusive patented system for equipressure.

BETA High Pressure Calenders are ideal in the treat-ment of heavy felts or textile fabrics, when a very high squeeze is needed in combination with high temperature.

The design of our Calenders allows great accessibility for maintenance, cleaning, roll disassembling and threading.

Ideal for high squeezing, due to the reduced contact area between the small diameter central roll and

Calendering

The pneumatic system assures a damping effect and protects the

rolls from accidental damage.

Heating is by diathermic oil circulation up to 220°C.

Steel / Steel

Layouts BETA strongly suggest the adoption of a nylon/steel/nylon lay-out, with a smaller diameter stainless-steel heated central roll.Compared to a 2-roll Calender, the advantages of this layout are the following:

� Increased working pressure, due to the reduced con-tact area between the rolls, ideal for high-squeezing

� Quick heating phase before starting the production � Quick cooling phase before starting a new production � Huge savings in energy and money for the Calen-

der’s heating, since the quantity of oil is roughly 50% less than that contained in our competitors’ machines.

� Rolls designed for limited deflection

� Temperature deviation on the roll table ± 1°C

� Automatic proportional pressure regulator

� Chromium-plated steel urface

� OPTIONAL: motor-driven thickness regulators

� OPTIONAL: cross-axis, crown surface, hardening

All BETA thermosetting calenders for hot and cold treat-ments are equipped with standard rolls with an internal gap for diathermic oil or cooling liquid circulation.

Cross-Axis

The cross-axis system com-pensates for the roll bending under the pressure load.

It is used to obtain a uniform thickness of the web on the whole tablewidth.

The micrometric movement of the roll is actuated by means of gear motors.

Rotary joints and special rolls allow the circulation of diathermic oil or cooling liquid.

DryingHorizontal & Vertical Dryers

Horizontal, vertical and mixed dryers for textile fabrics, technical textiles and nonwovens, designed according to the Customer requirements and specifications. Heating by diathermic oil circulation or steam.Automatic threading, hoods and aspirators are also supplied on request.

Drying

for Digital Printing

The high working pressure applied by BETA Pad-ders (100 N/mm) guarantees a higher production speed, thus enhancing productivity. Also, a high working pressure returns a lower Residual Water Percentage that translates in a huge energy and money saving during the drying process of the fabric. Reduced water

Pre-Treatment

BETA Machinery, in the logic of “Customer Sat-isfaction”, has recently created a new company trade-mark identified as “BETA Quality Proof”. The trade-mark states a wide range of technical fea-tures, product quality, authenticity of spare parts and ability in Customer Service.

By applying a serial-coded tag and releasing a certificate with this trade-mark for every original BETA spare part, BETA Machinery guarantees to the Customers important product requirements and assures a greater transparency in the supply.

BETA machines are placed at the maximum safety level today attainable by safety technology, and include the most updated design principles about machine safety and modules with the highest safe-ty level available on the market.

QualityProof

Since 1959

Quality & Marking

The BETA safety system is completely redundant and includes two safety modules with double chan-nel and feedback control (one for emergency and one for safety guards control), a safety module for zero speed detection and double contactors for all motors. The machine’s emergency circuit is at the maximum safety level according to EN 954-1: Category 4.

Only those who designed, developed and made your machine can guarantee the best original spare parts.

• Quality• Know-how• 12-month Guarantee• Customer Service• Original Spare Parts• Safety Care

Also, every part of each new Beta-Roll® is marked with a micro-percussion marking device, ensuring a complete traceability of the Beta-Roll® and of all of its components.
