Timing belts work well in the tobacco industry.
A broad range of industries benefit from the selection of machine belts by Megadyne-Jason – including the tobacco sector. The company manufactures various kinds of tobacco production belts, used in both primary and secondary processes, like slicing and shredding the tobacco leaves, or the drying and flavouring operations. They also work for feeding tobacco to cigarette-manufacturing machines, then on to the handling and packaging equipment and ready for sale.

Among Megadyne-Jason’s offerings is the V series of two-ply polyolefin belts and the HY series of Hytrel belts, both of which excel in tobacco applications. A number of belting solutions, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, suit the packaging stages; a key example is a spun-cast Hytrel belt that features a small footprint and can be used as a vacuum belt for paperboard cigarette packages.

Megadyne-Jason also offers covers, cleats, modifications, and PPJ to modify its tobacco production belts.

Among the possible modifications available are perforations, custom shapes, slots, tooth removal, grooves, back grinding, vacuum countersinks, and V-guides. Megadyne-Jason’s PPJ system joins belts directly onto machines.
