Flexco recently announced the release of the Novitool® Pun M™ 1500 Mobile Finger Punch to its line of light-duty endless belt preparation tools. This Pun M catalog addition features a wider punching surface area that allows operators to punch fingers into their polyurethane and PVC conveyor belts, up to 60” (1500 mm) in width. Like the other Pun M widths, the punch frame ends are open so that continuous punching of belts beyond the punchboard width is possible.

“Many of our conversations with our customers in recent years have been on the evolution of larger polyurethane and PVC conveyor belts in their applications, and how endlessly splicing them could become a challenge,” said Michelle Graves, Flexco Product Manager. "These conversations pushed our development team to expand our Novitool Pun M product line and create a solution for today's belt preparation needs. The result is the Novitool Pun M 1500 Mobile Finger Punch. It delivers the same safety, speed, and accuracy our customers expect, but now handles belts up to 60" (1500 mm) wide. For belt shops and distributors who want to reduce operator fatigue, improve workplace safety, and achieve precise finger punches on large endless belts, the Pun M 1500 is the ideal choice.” 

Beyond its expanded width capacity, the Pun M 1500 delivers exceptional versatility and convenience that sets it apart in the market. The Pun M system offers four distinct punch configurations (straight finger, bias punching, finger-over-finger, and finger-over-finger bias) allowing operators to optimize splice strength and flexibility based on their specific application requirements. Its portable, power-free design also enables on-site splices directly at the conveyor, eliminating the need to transport belts to a workshop or rely on external power sources. When paired with the Novitool Aero® Splice Press, the Pun M 1500 creates a fully integrated splicing solution that streamlines the entire process from belt preparation to final splice, resulting in stronger, more consistent splices that extend belt life and reduce downtime. 

The Novitool Pun M 1500 Mobile Finger Punch is ideal for use in light-duty applications within industries like logistics, parcel handling, warehousing & distribution, food processing and other applications that use endless spliced belts on their conveyors.
