Stable line speed, high pulling force

Our belt caterpillars ensure the stability of line speed and are highly reliable in long runs as well as with high pulling forces. The stable line speed minimizes cable diameter variations.

We Help You Achieve Your Sustainability Goals

6.5.2026

When thinking about sustainability in the cable industry, Maillefer considers where we can have the most impact on carbon footprint. Our own actions as an equipment provider are clearly modest compared to the effects we can have on the cable manufacturing end. In cable production, the materials processed during the extrusion phase easily represents 95% of the carbon footprint generated. This is because cable making consumes much material. At Maillefer, we can have the biggest impact by helping our cable-making customers achieve their sustainability goals. Our shared goal is to make more with less. Read more
