Polyurethane Packaging Solutions
Component failure and material degradation can hinder production and drive up costs for packaging operations. Traditional plastics and rubber materials often can’t withstand the mechanical stress, abrasion, and chemical exposure found on modern packaging lines. Mearthane Products Corporation (MPC) engineers advanced polyurethane packaging solutions that outperform conventional materials. With more than five decades of material science expertise, MPC provides precision-molded polyurethane parts that improve packaging system reliability, extend equipment life, and maintain consistent product flow.
Engineered Polyurethane Solutions for Packaging Systems
Mearthane’s proprietary polyurethane formulations deliver exceptional strength, wear resistance, and elasticity, ideal for high-volume, automated packaging lines. Each polyurethane packaging component is engineered for long service life, consistent performance, and dimensional stability under demanding operating conditions.
From impact-absorbing bumpers to high-precision conveyor rollers, belts, wheels, casters, and gears, MPC provides polyurethane for packaging systems that support throughput, uptime, and predictable maintenance planning.
Polyurethane Bumpers and Impact Components
MPC designs custom polyurethane bumpers and impact components that protect packaging equipment from shock, vibration, and repeated mechanical impact. These parts are tuned for hardness, rebound, and chemical resistance, helping packaging OEMs extend equipment life and maintain alignment across high-cycle operations. Polyurethane bumpers also reduce noise and protect sensitive components, supporting cleaner, safer polyurethane packaging environments.
Conveyor Belts, Rollers, and Drive Components
Efficient material handling depends on reliable conveying. Mearthane engineers polyurethane parts for conveyors—including belts, rollers, and drive components—designed to carry cartons, bottles, films, and other packaged goods with consistent traction and minimal slip. Durethane® formulations provide superior abrasion resistance and load-bearing performance, making these components ideal for packaging systems that run around the clock. By upgrading to engineered polyurethane for packaging conveyors, OEMs and operators can reduce unplanned downtime and improve line efficiency.
Wheels, Casters, and Guided Motion Components
MPC manufactures polyurethane wheels, casters, and motion components that support the precise movement of carts, racks, and modular packaging equipment. These parts combine high load capacity with controlled rolling resistance and excellent cut and tear resistance. Their durable tread surfaces and precise molding help maintain stability on production floors, making them a key part of long-life polyurethane packaging solutions.
Static-Dissipative Components for Packaging Equipment
Automated packaging lines often face static-related issues that attract dust, disrupt sensors, and affect product handling. MPC’s conductive and static-dissipative materials, such as Durethane® C and Durastatic® technologies, provide polyurethane packaging components that safely manage charge build-up while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. These materials are used in rollers, guides, and transfer components, as well as Durastatic® pipe for conveying powders and lightweight materials, improving safety, cleanliness, and process reliability across packaging operations.
