Problem: The flat wire radius belt was breaking every 2-3 months causing significant downtime in the plant. Overall belt life was averaging 6 months which was costly to the plants operating maintenance budget.
Solution: We split the belt in 2, and installed an Ultra-Tuff tight turn radius belt. This reduced overall noise, provided excellent wear and by splitting the belt it reduced the tension on the inside radius dramatically, which ultimately extended the life of the belt.
