Belting Solutions for Converting and Die-cutting

Megadyne has decades of experience working with the packaging industry, and its extensive portfolio of rubber and polyurethane belts for converting and die-cutting applications are excellent examples of the company's innovative high-performance products.

Looking ahead in the industry

The two trends dominating the packaging industry today are the move towards greater automation and the effort to increase sustainability. Each of these is already having a profound impact on packaging production. A more sustainable approach often means meeting more demanding operational conditions. Thinner materials and potentially more complex die designs require tighter tolerance limits and improved true running accuracy for production lines. Increased automation demands that packaging companies must ensure every part of their automated systems is capable of doing its job correctly over extended periods, without the need for maintenance or adjustment.

Speed and reliability

Converting and die-cutting lines rely on high-speed efficiency and precision positioning over long production runs, so every component in the system must perform its task correctly, time after time. Megadyne's wide range of rubber and polyurethane belts with homogeneous, high-friction, long-lasting cover surfaces are designed for durability and excellent performance at even the highest output speeds, and the superior quality of materials used in the manufacture of these belts guarantees a long working life, as well as the precise repetition of accurate belt movements over that time.

Our belts are tailored to perform

Different converting and die-cutting applications call for different solutions, and Megadyne can offer product modifications needed to meet unique needs. For instance, easy-to-replace moulded belts can be reworked to include vacuum holes and slots so that the media that is being processed can be held securely in place by suction as it is transported along the production line. A range of cover materials is also available, to be laminated or vulcanised onto either rubber or special polyurethane belts. Custom shapes or slots can be moulded or ground into these belt surfaces as well, while specially moulded rubber timing belts offer optimal carton adherence for feeding applications.

An industry stalwart

Whatever the packaging application, Megadyne has a quality belting solution ready for use as is or following customization. Years of expertise and experience go into the design and manufacture of all Megadyne belts, ensuring that they will deliver the highest standards of performance over the longest possible working lifetimes.
