The invention relates to a system and a method for producing a rotor blade belt (1) with pultruded rods (7 8) from a fiber reinforced material. According to the invention the system comprises at least one retaining device (10) for rotatably supporting at least one rod layer roll (2 2 ) with a rolled layer (4; 6 6 ) made of adjacently arranged pultruded rods (7 8); a laminating mold (40) for receiving layers (6 6 ) of pultruded rods (7 8); at least one guiding device (20); and at least one trimming device (30). The guiding device (20) is designed to guide a layer (6 6 ) of pultruded rods (7 8) said layer being unrolled from a rod layer roll (2 2 ) onto the laminating mold (40) wherein the trimming device (30) has a sawing device and/or a milling device for trimming the layers (6 6 ) of pultruded rods (7 8).
