Habasit - Solutions in motion Improved Productivity and Reduced Line Downtime with HabaSYNC® Wide Timing Belts The Automotive industry is famously competitive and cost conscious, so tire manufacturers rely on belt life time to keep productivity rates high. After all, belts used in the tire building process operate in tough conditions. Replacement of a damaged belt can cost an entire shift in duration and the attention of from 4 to 6 operators. This could mean a loss of in excess of 5,000 car tires due to line downtime. However, this can be avoided with HabaSYNC® Wide Timing Belts. The widest available solution on the market Belts used in tire building machines very often are comprised of a number of narrow belts joined longitudinally, or belts running in parallel to achieve the desired width. With a Wide Timing Belt, the need for longitudinal joining, which could be a point of potential failure, is eliminated, as is the need to install multiple parallel belts. Wide Timing Belts also improve positioning through precise alignment, which can be challenging for parallel belts. At 600mm, HabaSYNC® Wide Timing Belts offer the widest timing belt solution available in the market. This opens new possibilities for tire building productivity and the construction of equipment used in this application.

HabaSYNC® Wide Timing Belts For Tire Industry Up to 8 times faster belt replacement Traditional belt joining methods provide a robust joint able to withstand the operating conditions of the tire building process. However, when traditionally joined belts need replacing, it can take up to 8 hours, and as many as 6 operators, resulting in high costs and lost productivity. HabaSYNC® Wide Timing Belts can be joined with a hinge joint. This solution can reduce the replacement related downtime to less than an hour and requires only 2 operators for the change. Quality tires are made on quality belts...
