  1. The Newspaper Industry… A very lucrative market

  2. Market Features • Newspaper printing in every territory • Mid to large cities • All use belts – big plants, a lot of belts • Our product assortment fills almost every need…

  3. Product Groups • Nylon Core: • Nitta: SG belts, L,M series, TFL-10S • Habasit: Hamid, F-1, HAM-5P • Conveyors: • Habasit: HAT-8P, NAB-8EXDV, NAJ-8EXAV • Nitta: GM-500, BC-12A • Generic: Plied R/T, Plied trans., Basketweave, PVC interwoven

  4. Strappers Operation: Belts convey bundle of newspapers into machine, where they are strapped, then remove bundle. Common machines: Dynaric, Signode, Ovalstrapping, Powerstrap. Belt: SE-A-NRD – this belt was specially developed for the Dynaric machine, and we have common sizes in stock. Same belt should also work well on other brands of strappers. Also, certain machines use nylon core – keep your eyes open. Let’s find some of these, get sizes, and compare Nitta and H-ABT!

  5. RTP Application(Reel to Paste)

  6. RTP Operation: Set of four belts are pressed against the roll of paper, and control the tension at which paper in fed into the printing operation. Most common belt in the past has been leather/nylon. Best recommendation: TFL-10S. This belt was initially tested at the Philadelphia Inquirer, versus Chiorino and Habasit. This belt far outperformed the competition, and we have gradually been capturing newspapers with this belt. Habasit alternative: S-250H

  7. General Applications Many belts are used in newspapers. They are found in what is called the “bindery” or “mailroom.” In these operations, papers are folded and collated, and the different sections are inserted into one paper. Habasit has a very big market share, with F-1 (SG-500) and HAM-5P (SG-250). An increasing number of papers are switching to “Quickmelt” type belts, from Habasit, Siegling, or Ammeraal.

  8. Quickmelt vs. Nylon Nylon is better, but many customers prefer the Quickmelt (simple, no chemicals). Here is a rough idea of what to use in place of nylon belts. • F-1: MAM-5 E is closest in strength, but sometimes MAM-5P will work. • HAM-5P: MAM-5P the belt of choice. If not over a slider bed, MAM-04H may also work. If application uses common shafts with no individual take-up, this would be a good choice. • HAT-8P: There is a new HAT-5E that is fingerspliceable. Not quite as strong or thick, but many customers really like getting away from chemical splicing agents…

  9. Ferag trimmer: trims edges of papers after folding. F-1 or SG-500 Sheridan inserter: puts sections of the paper together. F-1 or SG-500 Applications

  10. Ferag Rollstream: Conveys stream of papers into inserting section. F-1, HAM-5P, or SG-500 Quarterfolder: makes final fold in papers. F-1 or SG-500 Applications

  11. Mailroom in large newspaper: Streams of papers conveyed by grippers. Belts used to feed the system, and to take papers out for folding, inserting, etc. Goss Press: only RTP belts. Goss once was the leader, and many of these are in operation. MAN Roland has taken over this app. Applications

  12. Applications GMA Inserter: Almost all newspapers have at least one GMA line. Puts the paper together, inserting all the sections. Belts are found at each inserting station. SG-500 or F-1.

  13. McCain binder: found in small newspapers. Puts sections together. Each section has belts underneath papers. F-1, SG-500 Labeler: found in smaller papers. Belts underneath stream. HAM-5P, SG-250 Applications

  14. Cartidge unloading: each cartridge holds thousands of inserts (sale flyers, etc.) They are wound up with a mylar band, and inserted into papers going to a certain zip code area. Ferag Flowstream: feeds cartridge (aka disks). HAT-8P most common Special Applications Nowadays, all large papers use this system, and may have 100’s of these systems. We can sell also sell the mylar.

  15. Some Tips • Belts are in two areas: • Bindery – where the papers are put together • Mailroom – where they are bundled and shipped out • Therefore, ask for the bindery or mailroom supervisor • At some papers, the Engineering Manager is the key contact…
