Durable and versatile power transmission solutions enhance efficiency across fast-paced logistics and packaging operations
Megadyne, a brand of AMMEGA Group (Booth S-3076), will showcase highly durable and customizable power transmission belting solutions at PACK EXPO International 2024 (Nov. 3-6; McCormick Place; Chicago, IL). Leading the pack, Megadyne will spotlight its new MEGALINEAR Live Roller Belt (MLRE-45) to help meet the performance needs of automated warehouses and other fast-paced environments.
Designed to help end users enhance sustainability and reduce downtime for belt replacements, the MLRE-45 stands up to the rigorous demands of roller conveyors in automated warehouse systems. The MLRE-45 smoothly navigates the twists and turns of transfer rollers with superior flexibility and balanced friction that offers robust grip on metal for secure item transfer and a delicate grip on idlers to reduce energy consumption. Its specially engineered material mitigates ozone and temperature degradation, which can cause cracking over time. It also offers superior wear and abrasion resistance, extending belt life. With a longer lifespan, easy installation, and fast on-site replacement, the MLRE-45 helps end users minimize downtime and repair costs.
“The embrace of automation is transforming warehouse and packaging operations, requiring faster run-times and impeccable precision,” said Kyoyul "Kyo" Oh, Vice President and general manager, Megadyne Americas. “Interior parts—like power transmission belts—must be built tough and agile enough to minimize interruptions.”
In addition to the MLRE-45, Megadyne will also showcase a range of other power transmission belt brands that offer exceptional durability and versatility:
- Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) Belts – Megadyne’s new stock line-up of VFFS belts help reduce downtime for repairs and replacements. Designed for an extended, trouble-free lifespan, the base belts offer exceptional abrasion resistance and flexibility to prevent tearing and cracking. The belts are available in a wide range of sizes and highly customizable for a variety of applications. Enhancements can include uniform wear covers, splice- and seam-free covers for increased reliability, consistent friction covers, grip and slip prevention with non-glazing compounds, and metal sealing bands. Belts can also be modified with machined holes, slots, other groves, and custom shapes as well as back grinding.
- MEGASYNC™ Silver3 – The latest addition, MEGASYNC™ Silver3 synchronous belts offer up to a 20% higher power rating than the previous Silver2 version. Made with premium quality materials for superior strength, Silver3 is meticulously manufactured to offer superior torque capacity for improved performance. The higher power ratings can allow for more compact dimensional optimization and reduce total system costs. With the RPC tooth profile, it’s also interchangeable with other high-torque timing belts on the market and compatible with a variety of sprockets.
