Why Nomex
Why choose a Nomex ironer belt
01
Built for oil heating
The 4mm needled belt runs at 240°C, and the woven version takes 240–280°C, the range oil-heated ironers work in.
02
Holds its size
The needled felt keeps its width and length, so the belts track straight.
03
Fastener ready
Belts can come with wire hook fasteners and a steel pin already fitted.
Application
Where Nomex ironer belts run
Nomex belts carry linen round the rolls of oil-heated flatwork ironers.
They also run on feeders, stackers and heat transfer machines.
On steam-heated ironers, polyester belts cost less.
Our factory
How we make Nomex ironer belts
01
Raw fibre
We use 100% Nomex meta-aramid fibre.
It holds its strength at ironer temperatures and does not melt or drip.
The flame resistance is in the fibre itself, so it does not wash out or wear off.
02
Fibre opening and carding
Bales are opened and the fibre is combed into a thin, even web.
We control temperature and humidity so the web stays even.
An even web is what keeps the belt the same thickness from edge to edge.
03
Web laying and cross lapping
The web is cross-laid layer on layer to the weight you need: 500 g/m² for a 2mm belt, 1200 g/m² for a 4mm belt.
Cross lapping puts fibre in both directions, so the belt holds across the width as well as along it.
The heavier weights suit ironers that run hot and fast.
04
Base fabric
A woven scrim goes into the middle of the web before needling.
Polyester scrim is standard. A Nomex scrim is available where the ironer runs hotter.
The scrim is what stops the belt stretching as it runs round the rolls.
05
Needle punching
Barbed needles punch the web and the scrim together into one felt.
There is no glue in the belt: the fibres hold each other.
Needling density sets how firm and dense the finished belt is.
06
Heat setting
The belt is heat set at high temperature, which is also called thermostabilising.
That takes the shrinkage out, so the width and length stay stable on the machine.
A belt that skipped this step would pull in as soon as the ironer got hot.
07
Special finishing
Some models get an antistatic treatment or a surface finish.
The finish goes with the model, so tell us the ironer make and what you run.
Ask for it if your linen picks up static on the line.
08
Cutting and slitting
Belts are slit to 100, 150 or 200mm wide, or to your width.
Rolls are 30m long, or cut to length.
If your ironer needs another width, tell us and we cut to it.
09
Belt joining
Belt ends are fitted with stainless steel hooks and joined with a pin.
Nomex belts take a steel pin.
Hooks let you join the belt on the machine, with no sewing.
10
Needle check
Every finished piece passes through a metal detector.
No broken needle leaves the factory inside the felt.
A broken needle tip left in the belt would mark your rolls or the linen.
