Why Us

P&S Textiles Ltd (T/A Arville) have been a leading specialist in the weaving of truly endless extraction webs (braybands) for rotary moulder machines since belt-driven mass production techniques for dough forming and moulding were introduced to the bakery industry over 100 years ago.

Why Use Truly Endless Belts?

We weave belts with a truly endless construction - i.e. it is a closed loop with NO JOINT OR SPLICE anywhere in its length. As all of our belts have a woven selvedge as a standard feature, this makes them truly endless in both the machine (warp) and transverse (weft) directions.

A truly endless construction means that there are no breaks so 100% of the belt surface is constantly working, giving continuous extraction and transfer of product with a much superior efficiency when compared to spliced or jointed alternatives reducing the rate of incomplete dough forms, product wastage and rejects.

By eliminating the joint, it means that wear resistance against mechanical stress (machine rollers, scraper blade, knife-edge nosebar) is greatly improved. Woven selvedges help to protect the edges of the belt from wear as there are no loose fibre ends to catch or fray.

Why Our Customers Choose Brayband® Belts

We have built our business by keeping pace with the need for responsive service and fast lead times. We understand the belting requirements of modern plant bakeries who are constantly driven to improve output, minimise product waste, eliminate down-time, reduce running costs and improve efficiencies.

Brayband® has grown to become the leading name in the global market for specialist endless woven extraction webs for rotary moulder machines.

Here's 10 reasons why customers choose us:

Less Changeovers

Cost Saving
Cost Saving

In addition to cost-savings from better machine efficiencies, maintenance and replacement costs can be reduced due to longer intervals between belt changes 

More output/better efficiency
More output/better efficiency

Less changeovers mean that production lines can be running for longer with less downtime, creating extra time and man-hours to do something else more productive
