Problem
The existing belts would stretch, slip and crack, leading to failures. The belts were lasting a maximum of 3 months. The environment was very dirty and dusty, compounding the issue with high pulley groove wear due to the raw-edge belts
Solution Description
Belts = 3 x SPC2360P Predator® V-belts
DriveR Pulley = 3/SPC450
DriveN Pulley = 3/SPC300
Benefits of Gates Product
The Predator® belts have lasted a minimum of 12 months, 4 times the previous life.
There have been no belt failures since installing the Predator® belts between shutdowns so all belt related downtime has been eliminated..
