Paper, Printing and Packaging

Paper Products

Paper, Printing and Packaging

From pulp to packaging, paper products are in constant demand.

To keep operations moving with minimal maintenance, processors and manufacturers demand durable belting products that provide consistent performance. High-quality paper, printing and packaging belting products from Midwest Rubber help processors and manufacturers maintain optimal production levels.

To keep operations moving with minimal maintenance, processors and manufacturers demand durable belting products that provide consistent performance. In particular, they need to reduce product build-up, manage transfer points and control static.

 

Paper Converting

Paper converting generally involves several processes, such as sheeting, cutting, laminating, scoring,
folding, and perforating.

Converters depend on narrow matched, endless belts with both adhesive and non-adhesive belt cover compositions to keep their operations productive.

We have extensive working knowledge of the printing industry and equipment OEMs, and keep a full-line inventory of printing belts. We also offer in-house endless belt fabrication, and fast-response 24/7 field service for onsite breakdowns.

 

Corrugated and Paperboard

conveyor boxes

As some of the most widely used materials in packaging, corrugated and paperboard are high-volume products.

Stock moves at high speeds in production, so manufacturers look for endless and non-marking belts that resist abrasion. They also require special belt covers and profiles for high-speed inclines. We stock full inventories of folder/gluer and incline profile belting materials, with in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts. And for onsite belt installations, we offer 24/7 field service.

 

Paper Manufacturing

Beginning with raw slurry and ending with finished products, paper manufacturing involves several process and transfer steps.

Whether your operations require feeder belts, drive belts, or conveyor belts, we have them in stock. We offer expertise in material selection to resist abrasion, reduce marking, move paper stock up inclines, and more. We provide in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts and 24/7 field service for onsite belt installations.

 

Carton Products

Carton products serve three functions at once.

They allow food and beverage products to be stored and transported, protect them against spoilage and contamination, and provide a printing surface for product information and brand identity. Along with in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts, plus 24/7 field service for onsite belt installations, we can recommend the most reliable belting products to meet your needs—helping you create safe, secure, and strong cartons.

 

Envelopes and Stationery

While paper documents have not been replaced by electronic communication, price pressures make production uptime a critical factor in profitability.

Envelope and stationery makers need reliable performance from their conveying systems. We stock full-line inventories of belting materials, and can help you select belting products that best meet your needs. In addition to in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts, we offer field service for onsite belt installations, day or night.

 

Printing and Publishing

For some printing operations, OEM parts are difficult or impossible to find. We offer custom fabrication and onsite service. Our problem solving ranges from failure analysis to process improvement, all to help you keep every machine running at peak performance.

 

Newspapers and Inserts

Periodicals are driven by deadlines, operate with narrow margins, and are subject to critical review by countless customers.
To meet unrelenting production requirements, newspaper printers need reliable belting products and on-site repair capabilities. We provide endless and non-marking belts with abrasion resistance, plus belt covers and profiles for high-speed inclines. We have helped press operators throughout the region with our in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts, and offer 24/7 field service for onsite belt installations.

 

Sheeting and Folding

magazine production

Successful printing has tight registration requirements and high-volume throughput, which depend on a combination of speed and accuracy.

Printers rely on durable belts and machine tapes to move paper from blank rolls or sheets to finished products. We support provide belting for all kinds of sheeting and folding operations, from non-marking materials that protect printed stock to to abrasion-resistant materials that stand up to newsprint.

 

Conveying and Delivery

It's a long way from the first manuscript to the published piece—and printed products have to go the distance.

Print production, logistics, and delivery all require reliable conveying. We offer belts and machine tapes for general conveying, inclines, merges, accumulation, and more. Our specialists can provide product recommendations and problem-solving advice for conveying applications in printing, packaging, and distribution.

 

Power Transmission

Machines used in printing use mechanical power at two or more points, often far apart.

Belts allow simultaneous power transmission for multiple components from a single source. We offer time-tested power transmission belting with uniform operation and long service life. Depending on your needs, we can configure belts to drive rotating shafts in the same or opposite directions, between angled axes, and on mule or torsional drives. We help you keep the presses running.

 

Packaging

water bottle packaging

Almost every manufactured product needs packaging—and every production facility has its own way of managing the process.

Some produce packaging as its own product, which others then buy and use; some receive bulk products from manufacturers and then package it; and still others incorporate packaging as part of manufacturing. We support all these approaches in:

  • Case Packing
  • Cartoning
  • Bottling

With our experience in application consulting and custom fabrication, we can help you ensure high productivity while managing product build-up, transfer points and accumulation. 

 

Case Packing

Automated packing requires abrasion resistant endless and non-marking belts that can accommodate variations in placement.

We stock full line inventories of profile belting raw materials, and provide belt covers and profiles for suitable for vacuum applications—plus in-house vacuum belt punching supported by dozens of stocked punch pattern dies. Along with in-house capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts, we offer 24/7 field service for onsite belt installations.

 

Cartoning

Cartoning operations have to move smoothly—from folded cartons through opening, filling, closing, and overwrapping.

They depend on durable conveying products to remain productive and profitable. Our profile belting materials include abrasion resistant endless and non-marking belts. We provide belt covers and profiles suitable for vacuum applications, in-house vacuum belt punching, capabilities for skive or step spliced endless belts, and 24/7 field service for onsite belt installations.

 

Bottling

beer bottling

At almost every step of the bottling process from cleaning and filling to labeling and packing, conveyors efficiently move the product.

We support all these bottling steps:

  • Filling and Capping
  • Labeling
  • Cartoning
  • Case Packing

With our experience in application consulting and custom fabrication, we can help you ensure high productivity while managing product build-up, transfer points and accumulation.
