BMG supplies a wide range of power transmission components designed to enhance efficiency and safety in the food and beverage sector. Included in this portfolio are Fenner high strength friction transmission belts that offer dependable performance in heating, cooling and ventilation applications in food and beverage production, processing and storage. “Key products in our food and beverage range are Fenner Red PowerTwist Plus Drive V-belts, that have been developed to withstand the effects of grease and heat,” explains operations manager, Leon Alberts. “Grease, which is unavoidable in large kitchens, is sucked into ventilation fans, causing many problems.” Conventional rubber V-belts do not cope well when exposed to exhaust air that is laden with grease, especially at elevated temperatures. The base rubber that supports the load-bearing cords breaks down in hot, greasy conditions. This results in belt stretch and premature failure.
Fenner Red PowerTwist Plus Drive V-belts are proven to withstand grease and high temperature conditions and offer efficient service life for up to six times longer than conventional rubber V-belts.
They are manufactured from a high strength composite polyurethane/polyester that offers complete resistance to grease contamination and can withstand temperatures up to 116°C. They are also designed for quick and easy installation, without the need for tools. These belts simply roll onto the drive like a bicycle chain, ensuring minimal downtime. No dismantling of equipment is necessary and users always have the right size because it is easy to make the belt any length.
