The Next Generation of POWERTWIST Link Belting ► NO RE-TENSIONING REQUIRED! BELT TENSION TENSION DECAY STUDY WHAT HAS CHANGED? ► Improved Re-tensioning is no longer necessary ► Reduced POWERTWIST Drive® POWERTWIST Standard® Rubber V-belt Proper Tension Line Maintenance-free for life of the belt Typically 2% Re-tension POWERTWIST Drive is engineered to maintain the optimal belt tension throughout the belt’s life. By eliminating the need to re-tension, you can expect reduced labor cost and increased unit efficiency. Required Re-tension at 24 hours Extensive testing was conducted to track the tension decay of POWERTWIST Drive versus POWERTWIST Standard and a comparable rubber V-belt. Test results show that POWERTWIST Drive maintained the required tension throughout the duration of the test. POWERTWIST Standard and rubber V-belts require re-tensioning to maintain proper belt tension. WHAT IS ONE RE-TENSION WORTH? Ex: Food manufacturer with 400 rooftop ventilation fans • • • • • Belt changed every 15 months Time needed to install POWERTWIST = 15 min Time needed to re-tension POWERTWIST Standard = 15 min Labor rate = $50 USD/hr 8ft of belt per unit Labor Cost Savings Time needed to install and re-tension belts POWERTWIST POWERTWIST Savings Standard Drive $25 Savings per unit per year Total savings for 400 units with POWERTWIST Drive Added value as a percentage of belt cost AVAILABLE PROFILES: Classical: Z/10, 3L, A/4L/13, B/5L/17, C/22 Wedge: 3V, 5V, SPZ, SPA, SPB
