• Fabrications such as holes, pockets, custom coatings and more

Sanitary Products

Sanitary products, including disposable diapers, incontinence products, wipes and feminine hygiene products, require precise and complex assembly from the forming process, product assembly to index and stack. Precise timing and control are essential.  This industry also faces a series of Environmental challenges where facilities must meet strict FDA regulations for manufacturing and storing products safely, meaning conveyor belts must rise to meet both production, packaging, and overall sanitary challenges.

To smooth the process of conveying, filling, assembly, indexing, case packing and palletizing sanitary products, facilities rely on MIR for quick deliveries on a broad range of belt designs. We offer Synthetic, Plastic Modular, High Performance Flat, Homogeneous and Timing Belts along with required customizations.

Common Applications:

• Fluff Transfer
• Product Assembly
• Index Control
• Vision Transfer
• Compression Rollers
• Web Turn Bars
• Lycra Rolls
• Wire Pucks
• Folding Boards
• Horn/Funnel Transfer
• Case Packaging

Features Available:

• High-Strength
• Low-Friction, Easy Release Surfaces
• Abrasion Resistance
