Metal formers looking to maximize their production on high-volume parts can benefit from the unique Magaldi buffalo leather belt, the Supercinghia. Designed and patented by Paolo Magaldi at the beginning of the 20th century, the Supercinghia has lasted over time and resisted the relentless advance of technology, evolving from a power transmission belt to a bulk material handling system. The Supercinghia is made up of buffalo leather strips placed side by side and held together by a steel pin set in a chessboard pattern. Each strip is obtained by cutting the tanned buffalo leather in a continuous spiral. Stretching the strips and laying them side by side allows the belt to be as thick and large as required. The result is a unique design that ensures higher dependability as the belt cannot suddenly fail. The Supercinghia is ideal for applications where extreme resistance to stresses caused by sharp-edged materials is required. Conventional rubber belts are more prone to cuts and rips, responsible for the belt rupture and consequent production line stoppage. On the other hand, the unique assembly design of the Supercinghia provides outstanding reliability. Even if an accidental cut affects one or more strips, the rip won’t spread across the entire belt width, ensuring continuous operation. Damaged strip replacement can be postponed and carried out during scheduled maintenance interventions.
