Bridle tension belt is a crucial component in slitting machine, which is the device designed to securely hold and convey wide metal rolls(such as stainless steel coils, copper strips, aluminium foils, etc), helping to cut large rolls into narrow strips.It is made of cut-resistant polyurethane or high-quality leather material for surface and reinforced by an inner layer of polyester.
- Oil Resistant: The belt is made of polyurethane and the oil type will be used in oily environment.
- Cutting Resistant: The belt is made of cutting and wear resistant polyurethane, which provides a stable surface for metal coil being slit accurately.
- Variety of Surface Textures: The oil type bridle tension belt surface has a special texture or perforation design for slitting oil-coated steel sheets. Its middle layer will absorb the oil and prevent oil from adhering to the steel plate surface.
- Wide Application: There are three types bridle tension belts adapt to different production environments and slitting conditions. Whether it is dry cold-rolled steel plate slitting, oil-coated cold-rolled steel plate slitting, there are always corresponding belt types available.
Slitting Machine Belt Description
For slitting metal coil: such as slitting strip steel, stainless steel, copper strip, aluminum foil, etc. The slitting machine belt supports the material being slit, providing a stable surface for the slitting knives or blades to cut accurately. Puteken mainly offer three kinds of slitting machine belt as below:
- Dry Type Slitting Machine Belt
The belt surface is wear resistant and cutting resistant PU, which protects the surface of the belt is not easy to be scratched and extends the belt life service. The intermediate uses high elastic fiber, which ensuring the belt provides a balanced tension to the steel plate and minimizes the relative movement between the belt and the metal plate. The bottom layer adopts high-strength polyester filament, which has high tensile strength and good toughness and meet the needs of high-speed operation. It is often used for slitting dry steel plates. - Oil Type Slitting Machine Belt
The belt surface PU has a pattern, which is wear resistant and cutting resistant and has good friction. It can protect the belt surface from scratching, extend the service life of the belt. There is a hole in the middle surface to permeate the oil.It is widely used for slitting oil steel plate. - Leather Type Slitting Machine Belt
The belt surface leather has features of high wear resistance, and the fine leather can prevent the slightest scratch on the surface of the steel plate. And resistant to high temperature and wear.

Bridle Belt Applications
It is widely used in the metal processing industry, particularly in the slitting process of steel coils, stainless steel, aluminum coils, and copper strips. With the support of the belt wrapper and coil wrapper belt, large metal coils can be stably rewound and smoothly conveyed to the slitting line. The slitting machine then precisely cuts the original coil into uniform narrow strips to meet diverse downstream processing and customer requirements.
This process not only improves slitting accuracy and efficiency but also ensures surface quality and consistency of the processed material. It is especially suitable for continuous production in steel mills, aluminum processing plants, and non-ferrous metal industries.

FAQ
1. What is a bridle tension belt and what is its main function?
A Bridle Tension Belt, also known as a strip tension belt, is mainly used in metal slitting machines. It provides stable friction to clamp and convey metal strips, ensuring consistent tension and cutting accuracy during the slitting process.
2. How to choose the right bridle tension belt?
Selection depends on the type of slitting machine, the working environment (dry or oily), the material being processed, and the surface protection requirements. If unsure, you can contact us for samples and testing.
3.What are the precautions for the normal use of cold-rolled metallurgical slitting belt?
- Keep the belt bottom always lubricated.It can not lack oil, otherwise its lifespan will be greatly shortened.
- The two edges of the steel or aluminium plates should be trimmed before entering the slitting machine to reduce the damage to the belt caused by burrs.
- When replacing the new belt, it is better to replace the entire set or replace the upper and lower belts as a whole to ensure uniform tension and pressure.
4. What is the service life of a bridle tension belt?
Under normal operating conditions, the service life is typically 6–18 months. Actual lifespan may vary depending on machine speed, tension settings, operating environment, and routine maintenance.
