Efficient and secure goods handling is essential throughout the production-to-delivery chain in the world of packaging. Megadyne, a trusted partner renowned for its expertise in the packaging sector, offers tailored belting solutions designed to meet the industry’s unique demands.
“Enhancing efficiency and reliability is crucial in high-output environments like packaging,” remarked Roberto Ala, Industry Segment Manager for Packaging at Megadyne. “Our innovative timing belts, replacing traditional roller chains, streamline operations and reduce maintenance costs significantly.”
Megadyne Special and Fabricated Belts
“Our extensive range of synchronous and non-synchronous belts,” Roberto Ala continues, “includes special cover materials, cleated designs, machine modifications, and custom solutions tailored for diverse packaging applications,” such as:
Box Erecting: With most of the packaging made from paper-based products, we offer a wide range of homogeneous, high-friction, long-life moulded cover surfaces on both rubber and polyurethane synchronous and non-synchronous belts. In cases where vacuum is needed to secure the media being moved, we can add the right modifications to ensure efficient transport.
Case and Tray Packaging: After boxes are formed, products are inserted into cases or trays. This movement requires belts with features like high friction, non-slip covers, and cleats for sorting and accurate product placement like Megadyne special polyurethane and rubber belts, designed to deliver maximum precision and performance.
Boxing, Wrapping, and Labelling Applications: Once products are packed in cartons or trays, they are inserted into boxes. Megadyne provides special polyurethane belts with high-friction, low-wear DuraTaq™ covers, and special endless polyurethane timing belts with non-marking homogeneous covers to guide and support boxes through sealing, labelling, and weighing processes. These coatings ensure flawless label application with high repeatability, preventing marks, bubbles, or creases on the packaging. Additionally, foam-covered timing belts are available for delicate product handling.
Palletising and Warehousing: After products are boxed and weighed, they are stacked, wrapped, and sent to customers or warehoused. Megadyne provides robust synchronous and non-synchronous options, including parallel path timing belts, for efficient product handling.
