From cars, to helicopters all the way to space travel
If any part of a vehicle needs to meet highest standards of functionality and reliability, it’s the seat belt – the real lifesaver in a crash. Seat belts are among the typical and most critical applications of narrow fabric weaving, a sector in which worldwide producers rely on us.
Among our long-standing CREALET customers is Carl Stahl GmbH & Co. KG, a leading German weaver of straps and narrow fabrics. Many of these products serve applications with a high security aspect, so absolute and 100% reliable functioning of the belts must be guaranteed over several years of use – even 20 years or longer.
“Our customers trust us and we invest in the best machinery to prove that trustworthiness every single day.”
Bernd Ledl, Managing Director at Carl Stahl GmbH
Stahl weaves 300 threads per belt together at high speed to produce a 46 to 48 millimeter wide and 1.2-millimeter-thick seat belt webbing. Each thread consists of more than 100 ultra-thin synthetic yarn threads, made of polyester. Around 30,000 meters of filaments are processed per meter of webbing. Ideal warp feeding is essential to make the process both smooth and perfect in terms of consistent quality.
Our warp feed systems are developed to create narrow fabrics with minimum faults and the ultimate performance required for their lifesaving protection – additionally securing production values and profitability.
