The most cost-effective high performing heavy-duty drive belt - Optibelt RED POWER 3 maintenance free V-Belt

With the increased global downturn and market uncertainty, mining and industrial operators are continuously looking to reduce maintenance costs by increasing machinery uptime and performance. Every entity in the complex mining and industrial operational environment needs to be monitored, so as to create an efficient operation that cuts cost without compromising operational performance and safety.

This is where the OPTIBELT Red Power 3 V-belt range has proven to benefit mining and industrial operations by reducing operational costs

Optibelt is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of drive belts with a strong focus on giving customers best value for money through the lowest belt usage costs and highest productivity wherever possible.

Optibelt has always strived to continuously improve their product range to ensure that they are at the top end of the supply chain in terms of quality and reliability. The Optibelt Red Power 3 range has definitely lived up to this philosophy.

V BELTS: ASSET or CONSUMABLE??

Consumable

In a market familiar with low cost, poor performing V Drive belts, continuous maintenance and re-tensioning of drives has become the norm. This, coupled with “matched set” challenges, Drive Location and Manpower issues, results in V belts being prematurely run to destruction and discarded, resulting in production losses, additional labour and safety issues and poor drive efficiency.

ASSET: Advantages of OPTIBELT RED POWER 3 V-Belts

• The “Maintenance Free” – Set and Forget technology: once installed and tensioned to required values, the Optibelt Red Power 3 will require no further re-tensioning or maintenance throughout their service life. These belts “Just do not slip”.

• A theoretical minimum service life of 25,000 hours, with a drive efficiency of up to 97%, is achievable, fair wear and tear considered. Energy savings of up to 10% have been recorded after installation of Red Power 3 V-Belts

• The Red Power 3 V-Belt can transmit up to 50% more power than conventional wedge belts, running on the same pulley diameter and at the same RPM, thereby reducing the number of belts required on a drive, reducing weight and space requirements.

• Matched sets are guaranteed, irrespective of date of purchase. Red power 3 belts do NOT have to be stored in sets, thereby reducing stock inventory requirements

• Higher Temperature Range: -30C to +100C as standard

• V-Belt pulley service life is increased by up to 3 times due to negative operational belt slip.

• Available in all standard wedge belt profiles, SPZ., SPA., SPB., SPC., 3V[10N]., 5V[16N] and 8V[25N]

• No special pulleys required, “Drop in” into existing wedge belt pulleys.

The Optibelt Red Power 3 has been extensively tested in South African and International environments and is proven to work as stated.
