Automotive

The automotive industry requires precise, continuous and highly coordinated production and logistics processes. From the receipt of raw materials and components to the internal transportation of parts, tyres, bodywork, finished assemblies and manufacturing waste, every stage requires reliable conveying systems that help maintain productivity and prevent unplanned downtime.

KAUMAN develops rubber conveyor belts adapted to the needs of vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers and companies providing auxiliary services to the automotive industry. Our solutions are designed to operate safely and efficiently on production lines, in assembly areas, warehouses, logistics centres, recycling plants and internal material-handling operations.

Kauman’s experience in industrial applications enables us to adapt the carcass, rubber covers, surface profile and reinforcements of each belt to the actual operating conditions: the type of product being conveyed, inclination, speed, load, presence of oils or greases, abrasion, temperature, and cleaning or grip requirements.

In an environment where the efficiency of every line is crucial, our conveyor belts help ensure stable conveying, reduce maintenance and extend the service life of the installation. Because a correctly selected conveyor belt does more than just move materials: it contributes to the continuity of the entire production chain.

Typical applications

Kauman conveyor belts can be used in a wide range of automotive industry processes:

• Conveying metal, plastic and rubber components.
• Moving stamped parts, bodywork and subassemblies.
• Conveying tyres and rubber components.
• Feeding and discharging assembly lines.
• Conveying boxes, containers, pallets and packaging.
• Handling swarf, offcuts, waste and recyclable materials.
• Internal logistics, sorting and dispatch operations.
• Inclined conveying of parts and goods in production plants or warehouses.

Solutions for every process

The requirements of an automotive plant can vary considerably from one production area to another. For this reason, Kauman offers specific configurations for each application.

Abrasion-resistant belts. Suitable for conveying parts, metal components, offcuts and materials that cause continuous wear to the belt cover.

Oil- and grease-resistant belts. Suitable for environments where lubricants, process oils or industrial fluids may affect the performance and service life of the rubber.

Rough-top or cleated belts. Recommended for the inclined conveying of boxes, packages, components or materials that require greater grip and stability during transport.

Belts with high impact and cut resistance. Designed for demanding applications involving heavy parts, sharp-edged materials or loads subjected to impact and falling forces.

Belts with corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats. An effective solution for the inclined or vertical conveying of parts, components, waste and bulk materials, while optimising the available space within the plant.

Belts for logistics and material handling. Solutions for the continuous movement of packages, boxes, containers and goods on sorting, order-preparation and dispatch lines.

At Kauman, we assess each installation to recommend the most suitable conveyor belt according to the material, operating conditions and performance objectives of each customer. Our commitment is to provide durable and reliable solutions that help the automotive industry keep its processes moving safely and continuously.
