Problem
The drive environment is very dusty and fibrous causing ongoing issues with lubrication and shortened chain life and sprocket wear. The roller chain was not lasting a full ginning season leading to downtime and lost production.

Belt = 14MGT-2310-68 Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™
DriveR Sprocket = 48 Tooth
DriveN Sprocket = 48 Tooth
68mm wide
Benefits of Gates Product
Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ drives require no lubrication so don’t attract the dust and cotton fibres which makes it the ideal alternative. The new Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ drive has now operated for two seasons with zero maintenance requirements.
