Problem
The belts being used on site were performing poorly. The belts on drives would need to be replaced multiple times during the cotton production season. Belt failures result in lost production which is very expensive and unnecessarily extends the ginning season.
Solution Description
Gates Hi-Power® II Dubl-V® belts.
Benefits of Gates Product
Due to the superior construction of the HiPower® II Dubl-V® belts they lasted at least twice as long as any other belt brand. In most cases they offered 4 times the life.
Flex-Bonded polyester cords for equal load distribution and reduced stress from flexing.
Flex-Weave® Cover is a patented fabric construction for longer life, providing extended protection to the belt core from oil, dirt and heat.
Gates Curves provide full contact with pulley grooves for uniform loading of cords, uniform wear and increased belt life.
