Tobacco

Timing belts for the tobacco industry play a vital “roll,” from the time the leaves are picked all the way up to when the finished cigarettes are boxed, sealed and cartoned.

The types of timing belts and flat belts that you will need for processing tobacco include hi-temperature belts, FDA belts, profile belts, flat belts, special backings and belts of all construction types: open ended for linear drive, spliced and welded for conveying and truly endless for power transmission.

Some of the applications you find fall under the categories of Green leaf processing, primary processing and secondary processing. Green leaf tobacco processing requires belts that can handling the baling process among other initial phase applications. Then comes primary processing which is the handling of the cigarette-ready tobacco up to the point that it is formed into cigarettes. The final step is secondary processing that gets all of the cigarettes sorted, counted and packaged.
