Toothed extractor belts with oil- and lime-resistant covers, approximately three times the cover thickness of comparable standard white belts.

Physics working for leatherAn efficient vacuum dryer balances platen sealing, heat, suction and condensation. Danese supplies parts for multi-platen leather vacuum dryers and supports tanneries in assessing the cycle. The aim is controlled water removal while limiting thermal stress on leather.Vacuum dryer parts: meshes, pumps, valves and sealsHow vacuum drying worksLeather is spread on the heated platen. On closing, perimeter seals make the working chamber airtight; meshes and the cover form the upper assembly and allow vapour flow according to the machine design. The pump removes air and reduces absolute pressure. Water can then evaporate at lower temperatures than at [...]

Danese supplies conveyor belts and drive belts for handling hides in tannery machinery.

For toothed belts, [...]

Leather toggles secure hides to toggling frames during drying and stretching. Danese offers three families: FITAI® Type A, IC and plastic PN, selected according to the application and working conditions.Three toggle familiesFITAI® Type AA high-strength aluminium toggle with added Fitaina®. This range is designed for intensive use and durability, with a traditional wing-lever configuration.ICAn economical metal version, identified by its single lever. It is intended for standard applications where initial cost is a key selection criterion.Plastic PNA coloured toggle for acidic environments or valuable leathers, where reducing the risk of marks from aluminium oxidation is important. The colour makes it [...]

Keep your tannery drum working with the right replacement partDrums are used in many stages of leather production, from beamhouse treatments to tanning, retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring, depending on the process. Door sealing, water quantity and power transmission each play a part in daily operation. Danese supplies replacement parts for wear, leaks and maintenance requirements, starting by identifying the component fitted to your machine.Door seals: inflatable frames and continuous profilesA worn seal or an unsuitable section can affect door sealing. We supply closed-frame inflatable seals and continuous extruded sealing profiles supplied in rolls. Selection requires checking the section, dimensions and [...]

Uniform fleshing starts with the parts in contact with the hideFleshing quality depends on the coordinated action of the blades, sharpening system and hide feed. The blades remove flesh, fat and tissue from the flesh side while preserving the hide structure. Rubber inserts guide the hide towards the working cylinder, while abrasives help keep the blades in suitable working condition.Danese supplies spare parts and consumables for tannery fleshing machines, selected according to the machine and production requirements.Fleshing blades: remove unwanted tissue, preserve the hideBlades are central to the fleshing machine. Their role is to detach and remove residual flesh and [...]

CALATI thickness gauges measure leather thickness during checks in tanneries and laboratories. The range includes decimal and centesimal readouts and digital versions: choose the model according to the measurement required.Decimal, centesimal and digital readoutsWhen selecting an instrument, consider the readout resolution, throat depth and contact characteristics. Display resolution is distinct from measurement accuracy: specify the model and inspection method for a technical assessment. The decimal analogue version uses a light-alloy bow protected by an epoxy powder coating, with delicate components made of stainless steel. The centesimal digital version provides a 0.01 mm readout. Depending on the contact selected, the instruments [...]
