Product Spotlight – Closed-Cell Foam Belts
MPC’s closed-cell foam belts are designed for precision handling in high-speed, demanding applications like packaging, paper converting, and food processing. Made from proprietary thermoset polyurethane, these belts feature a non-porous, resilient structure that resists environmental conditions, deformation, and wear, delivering consistent performance and extending machine uptime.
Key Advantages of MPC’s Closed-Cell Belts:
- Self-Cleaning Material: Closed-cell structure allows dirt and debris to be shed as the belt moves in operation for extended component life
- Precision Grip: Maintains consistent coefficient of friction as material wears to ensure predictable motion through lifecycle
- Shape Retention: Prevent stretch and deformation for longer belt life and reduced downtime
- Customizable Materials: Tailored to the specific needs of your belt application including hardness, surface finish and electrical conductivity

Case Study
A leading manufacturer in the media handling industry approached MPC with a challenge: reengineering a belt for a high-speed system that transports highly delicate media through over one million cycles per day. The application demanded a precise coefficient of friction to grip without damaging the material, the ability to conform to surface imperfections, and exceptional abrasion resistance to withstand continuous use. MPC’s engineering team partnered closely with the customer to develop a custom three-layer belt solution, featuring a closed-cell foam contact layer for gentle media handling, a soft solid layer for drive engagement, and a reinforced core to prevent stretch. The result was a high-performance belt that improved system reliability, reduced maintenance, and enabled the customer to confidently launch a product optimized for performance and durability.
