Problem
The existing V-belts would stretch, slip and fall off the vertical drive shaft, halting production until they were replaced.
Downtime costs are $30,000 per hour.
Solution Description
Belt = 8 x SPC5600P Predator® V-belts
DriveR Pulley = 8/SPC315
DriveN Pulley = 8/SPC1250
Benefits of Gates Product
Predator® belts have been installed and after 12 months no maintenance or retensioning has been required.
With belt changes taking approximately 2 hours per set, the potential downtime saved is $660,000 per year
