Continental Launches New Monitoring Solution for Textile Conveyor Belts

HabaSYNC P2G12 Flat Timing Belt

In the conveyor belting industry, precision, efficiency, and flexibility are essential. Whether producing vacuum belts, perforated belts, timing belts, or custom conveying solutions, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to improve throughput while maintaining consistent quality. One area where digital cutting technology continues to make a significant impact is in the production of perforated conveyor belts and finger-spliced belting.

As manufacturers work with increasingly complex materials, production requirements continue to evolve. Aerospace composites, engineered foams, technical textiles, honeycomb panels, and high-performance gasket materials all demand precision processing, repeatability, and flexibility. At the same time, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce lead times, minimize waste, and improve overall production efficiency.

It starts with one phone call: a partner questioning an invoice. Within hours, your AR team is digging through emails for the original PO, the payment is frozen, their AP team is fielding questions from three directions, and a shipment sits on a loading dock waiting for a credit release. Two days of chasing paper. No one did anything wrong. And it's the third time this quarter. Sound familiar?

MIYUKI’s PU-Aramid printing blankets are designed to deliver superior dimensional stability, wear resistance, and a long service life, helping textile manufacturers achieve higher production efficiency and consistent print quality.

ATOM FlashCut TWINS EMHD Series

Conveyor belt fabricators are increasingly producing more complex, customized components that require both precision cutting and controlled material removal. Features such as cleat pockets, recessed areas, and bonding zones often involve multiple steps, adding time and variability to the fabrication process.

Ultrasonic Cutting Solutions for ATOM FlashCut Systems

Conveyor belt fabricators are increasingly working with reinforced and technical materials that require more advanced cutting methods to maintain accuracy and edge quality. Materials such as fiber-reinforced rubber, layered composites, and dense industrial fabrics can be challenging to process using conventional cutting tools. To address these challenges, Manufacturers Supplies Company (MSC) offers Ultrasonic Cutting Solutions for ATOM FlashCut digital cutting systems, giving belt fabricators a powerful tool for cutting

Belt Power Opens new Operation in Cincinnati

At a time when many businesses were downsizing, Green Rubber – Kennedy Ag (GRKA) took the brave step of opening up another location to add to the existing five locations in Salinas, Watsonville, Greenfield, Modesto and Yuma. The sixth store in the chain has been established in Santa Maria, California, where the thriving agricultural industry is the lifeblood of the community.

Green Rubber – Kennedy Ag is a multi-generational, family company with deep roots in the heart of the Salinas Valley – the Salad Bowl of the world. In 1990 John H. Green, Sr. and his namesake John P. Green, founded Green Rubber, a small, family-run conveyor belting shop focused on the agriculture and food processing industries. In 2003 Green Rubber merged with the Kennedy Bros., a spray, fertilizer, and water tank business with retail and repair service locations.
