The Impact of Custom Conveyor Belting in the Corrugated Industry

As large rolls of paper produced on paper machines are initially put into production to turn them into corrugated boxes, they start out on the corrugator machine. This critical machine creates flutes in the paper and glues it to liners, one layer at a time. These layers are then stacked, cut, and then ultimately scored before transporting large bundles throughout the facility to various converting machines.

How to Properly Store Your Conveyor Belts

It is not uncommon for companies to stock extra belts in their plant in case of belt failure. No replacement belt is closer than the one you keep in storage. It is very important that these extra belts are stored properly.

What Are Plies and Ply Adhesion on a Conveyor Belt?

Some conveyor belting is manufactured with one ply of fabric. This fabric layer can be coated with rubber, polymer, or elastomer. Yet, most conveyor belting is manufactured using two or more plies of fabric that are adhered to each other by using inner layers of rubber, polymer, or elastomer.

Increase Productivity with Motorized Conveyor Belt Pulleys
