In the corrugated industry, uptime is everything. Machine stoppages, lace failures, and unplanned downtime can disrupt operations and cost valuable time.

The MIR Belting Solution for the Bobst 8.20 FFG Quatro vacuum is designed to handle these challenges with proven reliability. MIR #1961727 features stitched plastic spiral lace or can be installed as an endless belt, offering a stronger and more durable alternative for demanding corrugated operations.

Customers report belt life extending up to six months in some operations, far surpassing standard expectations. This durability reduces premature splice failures, minimizes jams, and prevents unexpected stoppages. By keeping machines running smoothly, the MIR solution directly improves uptime and operational efficiency.

The benefits are clear:

  • Fewer lace failures that interrupt operations
  • Reduced jams and stoppages for more predictable uptime
  • Greater cost savings and long-term reliability

The Bobst Quatro Vacuum Belt from MIR is in stock and ready for immediate delivery in two configurations:

  • PSL: #2118960: includes a stringing kit for flexible installation
  • FOF LPP: #2139044: tailored for specific machine setups requiring endless belts

MIR is ready with the right belting solutions—always in stock, backed by fast response times and 24/7 expert support. Our Belting Solved approach means custom-engineered belts, on-site service, and a team dedicated to keeping your conveying systems running smoothly—anytime, anywhere.

That’s Belting Solved.

Every year, National Quesadilla Day gives us a reason to celebrate one of the most comforting foods around. While we all enjoy the taste of a warm, cheesy quesadilla, there is an unseen part of the process that makes it possible to deliver consistent quality at scale. Behind the scenes, the right conveyor belt technology ensures that every tortilla is moved smoothly into and out of the oven, cooled with care, and the ingredients are handled safely and hygienically. At MIR Belting, we are proud to provide the right solution for key steps in that journey.

Step 1: Baking the Tortilla

Every quesadilla is built on the foundation of a well-baked tortilla, setting the stage for taste and texture. While the dough bakes inside the oven, the transition into and out of that high-heat environment must be smooth and reliable. Duratemp belts are perfect for this job. Built to handle extreme temperatures after product baking, these belts maintain stability, protect food safety, and offer long service life with easy splicing. That means smooth operations for manufacturers and a tortilla that delivers the texture and taste consumers expect.

Step 2: Cooling with Care

Once tortillas come out of the oven, they need to depan and cool before moving to the next step. This stage may look simple, but it requires belts that balance airflow with gentle handling. The uni Flex OSB belt helps tortillas cool evenly while avoiding damage or sticking. With the right belt in place, every tortilla is ready for the next stage without compromising quality.

Step 3: Adding the Toppings

Finally, we add toppings to turn that tortilla into a quesadilla. For many manufacturers, this includes chicken or other protein toppings, which demand hygienic handling and smooth, precise placement. MIR Belting’s Soliflex Center Drive belt delivers a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface that eliminates fabric layers where bacteria can hide. Its positive drive design ensures reliable performance without slipping, so every topping is placed exactly where it should be.

From Raw Dough to Delicious Results

From the moment dough enters the oven to the final step of topping and assembly, MIR Belting keeps production moving with solutions made for every need. Our belts are built for safety, efficiency, and reliability so manufacturers can focus on what they do best: creating quesadillas that bring joy to tables everywhere.

This National Quesadilla Day, we celebrate not just the final product but also the belting solutions that make it possible. At MIR Belting, we call that #BeltingSolved.
