Rubber MEGAPAINT
Overview
Rubber MEGAPAINT
Megadyne has developed RPP8 and RPP 14M timing belts designed for conveyor and transfer lines, specifically for painting systems: the MEGAPAINT belt.
MEGAPAINT belts are silicone free and do not contain contaminants, as requested for water or solvent based paints; the purity of materials and the absence of polluting particles always guarantees perfectly painted surfaces and without any defect.
Features
Rubber MEGAPAINT is silicone free and without surface impurities and contaminants, according to car manufacturers’ standard.
Test performed by the Forschungsinstitut für Pigmente und Lacke e.V. of the Stuttgart University.
Main components

SITUATION/APPLICATION
A major automotive OEM was in the process of redesigning their paint shop line. They were seeking a way to improve production efficiency, lower energy consumption, and ensure high-quality paint finishes with minimal contamination. Space optimization was also a priority, as they needed a more compact transmission system without compromising performance.
THE PROBLEM
The competitor’s solution, using a low-performance belt, led to higher energy consumption and required more space. Additionally, the previous transmission system failed to meet paint shop standards, causing surface contamination, defective paint jobs, and costly rework. A more efficient, reliable, and contaminant-free solution was needed.
