Problem
Constant V-belt slippage and reduced power transmission resulted in poor quality wood chips. A solution was requested after hearing about other chippers successfully running Poly Chain® GT® Carbon™ belts.
Solution Description
Belt = 14MGT-2800-68 Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™
DriveR Sprocket = 60 Tooth
DriveN Sprocket = 140 Tooth
84mm wide
Benefits of Gates Product
Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ drives were chosen to replace two existing V-belt drives.
The chipper no longer bogs down under load and now produces consistent wood chip sizes.
The narrower Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ drives result in the shaft loads acting closer to the bearings.
