Intelligent technology for top quality and productivity

HELD double belt presses are the ideal production systems for the continuous production of fuel cell materials when using the through-feed method. Various processes, such as continuous laminating, compacting, consolidation and smoothing, allow different fuel cell materials to be processed, such as GDL, MEA, PEM or BPP.

In each case, the respective components are run through the press between two endless steel belts – either individually or together. At the intake and the outlet, these steel belts are looped around heated steel drums. Pressure plates, with which heat and isobaric pressure are applied to the conveyed materials, are located between them in the so-called reaction zone. The temperature zones can be individually adjusted.

HELD Technologie GmbH is a traditional, organically grown family business based in southern Germany. Founded in 1949, it has become one of the world's leading mechanical engineering companies and focuses on high-performance isobaric double belt presses. In this field, Held is widely known for its innovations.  

With the expertise and skills of our employees, we have established a unique level of proficiency in double belt press technology over four generations.
