INDUSTRY BROCHURE

WOOD INDUSTRY Our rubber and polyurethane belts support various needs of the wood industry. In this brochure, you will find the overview of the major applications such as sawing, debarking, veneer scarfing and exit transfers, veneer stacker, chipping and MDF preparation, press exit, trimming and inspection. Megadyne has been catering to your needs since 1957, designing and manufacturing power transmission belts, matched components, and complete belt systems for all types of equipment. We are a reliable partner for original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket distributors, with: 9...

Open-ended roll - Joined - PPJ STANDARD WIDTH TENSION MEMBER Steel, HP, HF, HPF, Stainless Steel, Kevlar ® Wear resistance, strong, long life, can be joined to any length Multi-layer woven polyester Fast and easy installation; durability; any length possible SPECIAL COVERS AVAFC 60/70/85 SUPERGRIP PETROL Natural Rubber Petrol Green Excellent cut and wear resistance and good oil resistance. Cover offers a proprietary custom blended rubber which has a good CoF and very good abrasion resistance. METAL DRIVE COMPONENTS Use an extensive range of pulleys and accessories like timing bars, flanges,...

SAWING After trees are harvested from the forest or the farm they are cut into shorter, more manageable lengths for further processing. The sawing environment, whether in the field or mill, is one of dust, dirt and lots of vibration. Power Transmission belts used to drive the saw must be strong, rigid and wear resistant. Megadyne offers a wide range of high strength belt options in single V, banded V and link V constructions. 1 PLURIBAND Banded version of V-belts for high loads applications. • Dimensional stability, smooth operation • Oil resistant • Antistatic LINEA GOLD Link-belt, created...

DEBARKING After the tree is cut into manageable lengths, the tree is debarked. This process prepares bare wood for later processing into chips or veneer. Like Sawing, drive vibration is common along with dust and dirt. Contamination between the belt and pulley can affect belt life expectancy as belts tend to want to roll over. Additionally, drive shock loads are common in this area and can also lead to belt breakage and shortened belt life. OLEOSTATIC GOLD Top of the line rubber timing belts, with superior power and torque drives capacity, even in the most extreme operating conditions...

WOOD SHREDDERS Wood shredders are machines used for reducing wood into smaller woodchips; they come in many different types and sizes. 1 MEGASYNC TM TITANIUM Top of the line rubber timing belts, with superior power and torque drives capacity, even in the most extreme operating conditions (TTM8, TTM14). • Designed for use in a typical chain driven drive applications • Compact drive package • High stability and resistance • Long life cycles, cost-efficiency 1 OLEOSTATIC GOLD Top of the line in rubber wrapped V-belts; extremely wide horsepower ranges. • Oil and heat resistant • Long service...

VENEER STACKER The Scarfed veneer is taken from the exit transport conveyor and stacked into piles for later use. 1 MEGALINEAR Thermoplastic PU 92 ShA belts with S & Z parallel cords (AT10 with welded K17 guides or square profile centered on convey side of belt). • High precision linear positioning PLYWOOD LAYUP & PRESSING For plywood construction, individual sheets of veneer are selected from the stacking pile, glued and pressed to achieve the desired dimensional solid panel. MEGALINEAR timing belts are used move veneer from veneer stacking to the press and again at press exit. 1...

CHIPPING & MDF PREPARATION The chipper is the first step in the manufacture of engineered board like MDF (medium density fiberboard). After the logs are debarked they are fed to a chipper where they are converted into small pieces of wood. Next is chip washing, drying and processing. Processing includes a mixture of glues, waxes and adhesives which creates a pulp like mix. This mix is then deposited onto a series of conveyor belts which ultimately are used to create the necessary matt of material to be delivered to the press. 1 MEGASYNC TM TITANIUM Top of the line rubber timing belts, with...

CASE STUDY APPLICATION: Wood Panel Conveyor PREVIOUS BELT: Wide non-synchronous conveyor belt PREVIOUS BELT PROBLEMS: Wide boards would skew as the boards were being moved into edge trimming MEGADYNE SOLUTION: MEGALINEAR AT10 WITH NFT Megadyne MEGALINEAR AT10 with NFT, moving in a precision indexed fashion eliminated skewing. Additionally the load of the boards spread across 4 MEGALINEAR belts enabled the use of PPJ for easy belt installation and belt replacement. CERTIFICATIONS All Megadyne polyurethane power transmission belts comply with ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and European RoHS Directive....
