Take a look at our plants in Ahmedabad, where our VULKING®, IMAGE® and SKETCH® belts are ply-built, vulcanized, ground and finished for textile mills around the world.
In 1929, when textile mills relied entirely on imported sanforizing and screen printing rubber belts, there were no domestic service centers to repair damaged belts and new replacements were prohibitively expensive. Late Mr. M. R. Maniar, founder of the reputed rubber vulcanizing workshop Gujarat Vulcanizing Works, stepped into the market with his sons to pioneer the indigenous manufacturing and servicing of textile screen printing rubber belts and endless rubber preshrink belts.
In 1986, we successfully manufactured IMAGE® brand rubber belts for rotary and flatbed screen printing machines, installing thousands of belts worldwide. In 2010, we launched the VULKING® brand endless rubber preshrink belt, alongside our SKETCH® series of high-precision TPU printing blankets.
Founded by Late Mr. M. R. Maniar to solve critical repair & vulcanizing challenges for textile mills.

Produced in a dedicated modern industrial plant from the finest natural rubber obtained from the world's best plantations. Built using our time-honored "Ply Built" method, vulcanized under controlled temperature conditions, and precision surface-ground for superior fabric shrinkage and hand-feel across natural/synthetic fibers, woven/knitted fabrics, denim, and apparel.

Dusted with fine talc powder, wrapped in protective hessian cloth, and lined with corrugated paper inside a circular-retaining wooden crate. Remove the two bolted side planks, insert a metal pipe, and lift carefully with a pulley chain. Remove hessian cloth only right before installation.
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, oil, grease, and solvents. Keep strictly away from running electrical motors and high-tension fields, which generate ozone and accelerate rubber surface degradation.
If stored for more than 10–12 weeks before installation, remove the belt from the crate after one week and turn it upside down to prevent permanent set deformation at one end, and turn it upside down again a week before use.
Manufactured since 1986 using pre-stretched Egyptian Cotton fabric, polychloroprene intermediate layers for natural compressibility, and a Perbunan synthetic rubber top layer. Engineered with an overlapping ply-built endless joint that never breaks under normal usage and lasts 2x to 3x longer than polyurethane (resin) belts.

| Parameter | IMAGE® Screen Printing Rubber Belts | Conventional Polyurethane (TPU/PU) Belts |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Robust Structure & Compressibility | Multi-layered structure reinforced with pre-stretched Egyptian cotton fabric offers natural compressibility, retaining shape for high printing accuracy, colour absorption, and perfect design repeats. | Made of comparatively rigid Polyurethane offering very low compressibility, which can hold up printing accuracy and repeats. |
| 2. Chemical & Solvent Loyalty | Highly resistant to aggressive printing chemicals and solvents including acetone, thinner, toluene, white spirit, and ethyl acetate. | Offers comparatively lower resistance to strong aromatic solvents and ketones. |
| 3. Temperature Resistance | Continuous operation up to 100°C (momentary up to 120°C) with zero harm to printing quality. | Standard PU belts struggle to resist continuous temperatures above 70°C–80°C. |
| 4. Joint Integrity | Manufactured truly endless using a unique ply-built overlapped joint that is completely smooth and structurally uniform. | Joined post-extrusion via splicing, making the joint area structurally distinct from the main body. |
| 5. Repairability & Service Life | Much easier to repair in case of mechanical damage; lasts 2 to 3 times longer in heavy-duty solvent printing. | Harder to repair once mechanically punctured or delaminated. |
