INO has opened a massive new plant in the beautiful city of Xi'An!
The new plant is 500,000 square feet of manufacturing floor and office space!!!
This new factory is dedicated to producing printing equipment and TPU printing blankets with TPU extrusion lines, and finally producing our own Novo felt product line!!!
Our Novo felt line is currently producing 3000mm wide rolls, but has the capability to produce 3,400mm wide rolls. Which should be very soon. We produce nitrile impregnated needle polyester felt in 2.5mm, 4mm and 5.5mm thicknesses. Our belts are perfect for the aluminum extrusion industry, stamping, automotive and CNC applications.

## These are the steps taken to make or NOVO line of needled felt belts:
## STEP 1: OPENING AND BLENDING
Polyester fibers in compressed bales are opened and then using some spiked rollers separated and sent through a feeder. Fibers from several different bales are mixed together simultaneously. Rotating spiked rollers continuously stir and mix the fibers to even out the differences in color, fiber length or fineness.
Each hopper draws a portion of the fiber, mixes it and feeds it forward, producing a uniform batt. Then using a weighing feeder to control the proportion of these fibers, they are fed directly into the carding machine.
---
## STEP 2: CARDING
In carding, large rotating drums and smaller spiked rollers, more aggressive than during blending, separate and align individual fibers, removing clumps and ensuring they are distributed evenly, then the fibers are combed straightened and cleaned to form a very thin web.
---
## STEP 3: CROSS-LAPPING
After carding , this fine fiber web is cross-lapped, or laid onto itself in layers to build up the necessary thickness before punching.
---
## STEP 4: PUNCHING
Thousands of barbed needles mounted on a reciprocating board start forming a solid piece. As the needles penetrate the Web, their tiny barbs grab and entangle fibers, forcing them vertically through the layers. When the needles withdraw, they leave the fibers interlocked, no glue or heat is needed. A scrim, a woven polyester reinforcing layer, is introduced also to increase the strength of the belt material in terms of elongation.
---
## STEP 5: COATING AND CALENDARING
Once the belt material is fully formed, it gets impregnated with nitrile rubber to increase the abrasion resistance and the density, it also gives the final color to the material. After the impregnation, the roll goes through a series of heated rollers to adjust the final thickness and improve abrasion resistance...
---
## STEP 6: HEAT-SETTING
The roll then goes through an oven where it is heated under tension, so the fibers crystallize slightly, locking in the dimensions and reducing shrinkage during future use. It also helps to further cure the rubber impregnation.
---
## STEP 7: POLISHING
Finally, the roll goes through a polishing calendar or polishing roller system where, under controlled pressure and temperature, the final belt gets compressed and smoothed by fusing final fiber ends and closing surface pores. The result is a dense, smooth and consistent material, with stabilized thickness and with minimal fiber shedding.
