Super Bowl Tickets, Powertrain Solutions and Conveyor Demos at PACK EXPO 2024
Enticing people with a draw to win a 2025 Super Bowl package that includes two tickets, airfare to New Orleans, hotel accommodations and admission to an exclusive tailgate party is a resourceful way to lure people to a trade show booth.
And that’s just one of two tactics Regal Rexnord’s material handling and packaging experts brought to PACK EXPO International 2024.
The other was to bring along a large-scale conveying demo and demonstrate how the company goes about solving common throughput challenges, particularly when it comes to the unique collection of components that drive operations. With the conveyor set up, Rexnord experts were able to weigh in on best practices in arranging a package handling conveyor network to incorporate robotic-arm palletizing and could answer questions on embedded motion-control conveyor technologies.
Powertrain Solutions
Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisc., Rexnord has four operating segments: Automation & Motion Control, Industrial Powertrain Solutions, Power Efficiency Solutions and Industrial Systems. At the show, the company focused on powertrain solutions for the material handling, packaging, and food-and-beverage industries.
The conveying demo in the booth was designed to show how Rexnord can address common throughput challenges, including ways to:
Increase productivity through machine health. Perceptiv Intelligent Reliability Solutions is a condition monitoring and predictive maintenance platform, which combines condition monitoring sensors with expert analysis and prescriptive recommendations.

Improve facility and operation performance. ModSort Divert and Transfer Modules can be integrated into existing or motorized roller conveyor systems. Their main function is to divert, transfer and sort multiple package types. They use industry-standard 24V connections to help ease installation in typical applications.
Enhance product handling and throughput. Rexnord highlighted a range of IP69K rated solutions, including Sealmaster SS Gold Mounted Ball Bearings, Boston Gear Gen2 SS700 Series Speed Reducers and Bauer Gear Motor HiflexDrive Gear Motors, as well as conveying solutions such as Rexnord 1533 LBP (low back pressure) Series MatTop Chain and the high-performance Rexnord 8505 MatTop Chain.
