About FBB Förderband GmbH
FBB Förderband GmbH is a manufacturer specialising in the material rubber, headquartered in Saarbrücken with a production site in Ballenstedt. The company produces rubber compounds from all common elastomers such as NR, SBR, CR, NBR, IIR, XIIR and EPDM – both from its own standard programme and to customer specifications, including coloured compounds based on the RAL colour chart. The product range comprises rubber-textile conveyor belts in smooth or profiled versions up to 3,000 mm in width and 3,150 N/mm carcass strength, rubber sheets and mats in thicknesses from 1 to 70 mm with roll lengths up to 250 m, as well as rubber moulded parts and profiles manufactured to drawings or samples. With its own mixing plant, several conveyor belt presses and experience in rubber technology, FBB serves the conveying technology, plant engineering and mechanical engineering industries. Founded in 1936, the company advises customers on planning, product selection and project implementation.
