Revolutionizing Conveyor Belts: How Motion Conveyance Solutions Improved Fabrication to Solve Longevity Issues

With thousands of boxes needing to be routed to various places, a national e-commerce and package distributor uses merge belts to direct packages. Several issues, including an improperly bonded grip strip, caused the original equipment manufacturer's belt to fail and the customer to experience costly downtime. That's when the customer's reliability team partnered with Motion Conveyance Solutions to deliver a solution that would adequately bond the grip strip to the cover of the conveyor belt.

Motion Conveyance Solutions tested the grip strip and discovered that it was glued down the center of the belt. This left significant gaps between the strip and the top of the belt—an area where packages and time slowly allowed the strip to peel open. The team got to work and developed a fabrication method that permanently vulcanized the rubber strip onto the belt. This improved method removed any possibility of the strip peeling up or pulling away; it can now bond, flex, and grip without issue.

This unique belt allows products to merge onto the conveyor with low friction on the edges with a high-grip strip down the center of the belt.
