    INDUSTRY: POWER GENERATION

    APPLICATION: STACK SCRUBBER

    Problem: A coal-fired power plant's stack scrubber pumps used 8 V-belts that required frequent re-tensioning and lasted only 6-9 months, leading to shutdowns and lower production rates.

    Solution: optibelt RED POWER 3

    Result:

    • Eliminated re-tensioning maintenance
    • Increased belt lifespan to over 2 years
    • Prevented 9 maintenance shutdowns and 3 replacement shutdowns

    INDUSTRY: OIL & GAS

    APPLICATION: MUD PUMPS

    Problem: An offshore drilling operator faced frequent shutdowns due to belt slippage on their mud pump at depths exceeding 16,000 feet. Their existing 5/8V1800 banded V-belts struggled to maintain grip, leading to costly downtime.

    Solution: 2 sets of 5/8V 1800 optibelt BLUE POWER

    Result:

    • Eliminated belt slippage, improving uptime
    • Withstood high shock loads without failure
    • Ensured reliable power transmission at extreme depths
    • Reduced maintenance and downtime

    INDUSTRY: LUMBER & PAPER MILL

    APPLICATION: DEBARKER

    Problem: A lumber and paper mill's debarker drive, running at 650-800 HP and 1200 RPM, experienced frequent slippage failures due to inconsistent banded V-belt lengths.

    Solution: 4 pieces of 3/8V2240 optibelt BLUE POWER

    Result:

    • Eliminated slippage issues
    • Reduced belt count from 5 to 4, improving efficiency
