Whether for display or shipping, packaging is an essential requirement for the delivery of goods to industry and consumers. The machinery that manufactures and assembles this packaging requires specialized belting with high durability and properties that keep production speeds up while preserving the integrity of the material being processed. Nitta offers a full product range designed with these applications in mind, including belts from our PolySprint line with the advantage of quick and smooth endless joining by finger splice. A few of our PolySprint specifications for corrugators and folder-gluers, Flexo types in particular, are highlighted below.
RT-22E70-2:
Nitta’s RT-300 Blue Roughtop belt, well known for its outstanding performance characteristics on Flexo folder-gluers, is now available in a finger-spliceable version, eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners. As the belt speeds on modern folders approach 3,000 feet per minute, the ability to consistently achieve a superior belt splice through vulcanization is now possible with another innovation from Nitta. Improved flexibility enables our belt to navigate around smaller diameter pulleys than other belts in its service class, hence resisting splice fatigue which leads to splice failure. RT-22E70-2 is yet another example of Nitta’s unmatched technical expertise in new product development.
The application possibilities for Nitta’s RT-22E70-2 and other belts in our PolySprint range are not limited to high speed Flexo folders. Any industrial process that can benefit from eliminating mechanical fasteners as a means of improving service life, Total Cost of Ownership, safety or plant DB levels, is a candidate for this remarkable innovation in belting. It should be noted that when necessary for the application, mechanical fasteners can be used on RT-22E70-2 material.
XH-8E30, 40 & 55:
Finger-spliceable equivalents to the Nitta XH-500 and –750 series, the default standard for folder-gluers. These belts come with the proven performance of Nitta’s proprietary Carboxylated Nitrile: superior abrasion resistance, in combination with a soft durometer finish, yields a long-life, non-marking, non-tearing, energy-efficient belt for a wide variety of paper converting applications.
XHTG-15E34:
Another step in the evolution of belt design, the finger-spliceable equivalent to Nitta’s “GH” series, this belt is an excellent choice for the Under-Stacker or Counter-Ejector sections on box folding lines. Also provided with Nitta’s “do everything” Blue Nitrile rubber covers.
High Speed Flexo Folders:
Mitsubishi (Evol), Isowa and Latitude, among others, are manufacturers of the new generation of high-speed Flexo folder-gluers. The new performance standards of high-speed folders require belts with unique properties: flexibility, load capacity and an abrasion-resistant yet soft top cover that will yield positive product orientation and unmatched service life. Featuring the ability to eliminate mechanical fasteners, thereby reducing noise while prolonging service life, the distinguishing performance criteria inherent in the Nitta brand are exemplified in our finger-spliceable PolySprint products. We welcome comparison to the products of our competitors; given the opportunity, we will clearly demonstrate the superior service and performance characteristics of our entire paper converting product range.

There is much more to come. If any of your enterprise components depend on belting to achieve your production goals, you should consider the value proposition of the belt products designed and manufactured by Nitta Corporation of America at our ISO 9001:2015-accredited manufacturing facility in Suwanee, Georgia.
