For logistics operators, every peak season comes with high stakes. Order volumes spike, operations run nonstop, and both equipment and staff are stretched to their limits. With Christmas fast approaching, any disruption in roller conveyors can halt the entire process. One stall, and productivity drops, shipments pile up, and customer complaints start to mount.
Luca Zironda, Global ISM Material Handling & Automation Power Transmission Manager at Megadyne, tells us, “when demand spikes, roller conveyors never stop working. In this context, power transmission belt systems must meet rigorous criteria: reliability, durability, and efficiency. Critical to belt performance is its interaction with rollers: it must combine flexibility with optimised friction on metal rollers to ensure a smooth transport.”
“Achieving the right balance depends on the belt’s material and design.” He adds, “It must provide enough friction on the metal rollers to ensure the secure transfer of each package tray and low friction on the idlers to minimise energy consumption. A well-engineered belt that endures repeated bending cycles and maintains optimal friction levels is essential to keep intralogistics operations reliable and efficient.”
High-demand environments
Designed specifically for warehouses, MEGALINEAR Live Roller 45 mm is a durable, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient belt engineered to perform reliably during extended duty cycles. Manufactured from polyurethane 85° ShA, the belt is available in green, either in the standard version or in an alternative version with black antistatic fabric on the bottom surface.
Its key features include:
• High-friction surface ensures reliable power transmission to the roller drive
• Durable polyurethane and high-performance Kevlar® cords for nonstop duty cycles
• Translucent PU body for easy wear detection
• Antistatic fabric and polyurethane (on request) for extreme duty applications
The belt ensures high efficiency with minimal maintenance (it is typically delivered in open-ended rolls and can be customised and spliced directly on-site by warehouse maintenance teams), energy savings, and lower total costs.
The right belt for every Peak Season
When reliability is non-negotiable, every component plays a role in keeping goods moving. Megadyne MEGALINEAR MLR 45 delivers consistent performance under pressure, making it the most dependable choice for uninterrupted flow during any peak season.
