To meet the high operating speed of 8,000 – 12,000 sheets/hour in modern mounting machines, the belt must include the following characteristics:
High-friction surface: The top layer is typically coated with red rubber to ensure superior grip.
Vacuum compatibility: Most corrugated-feeding belts are precisely perforated to allow the vacuum system underneath to hold the carton sheets firmly in place.
Flexibility: The belt must offer proper elasticity to prevent leaving marks on offset-printed paper.
Abrasion resistance: It must withstand continuous friction with rough carton boards and paper dust.
