Application

This belt is used to convey packed A4 Paper reams with a total weight of 150 kg (60 reams at one go) to be conveyed over the entire length.

Customer faced issues like breakage of modules within 6 months of operation of a new belt and were looking at a solution where they would not face any problems for at least one continuous running year.

Customer was also facing a problem of sourcing the belt modules as there was no local contact available to them to place their orders for spares.

Our belting solution

We recommended to use Prolink S4.1-0 FLT POM BL (5800mm (L) x 4500 (W) with S4.1-Z35 SPR POM WT SQ60mm sprocket.

Prolink S4.1-0 FLT POM BL could be supplied in exactly the same width as was installed in their existing system. This would make it easy for them to replace the entire belt with the sprockets in the existing frame of the machine. Also POM modules in S4.1 would provide them with better life and decrease the downtime of the machine.

Since Forbo has a local presence, the customer felt more confident in dealing with us and providing us the PO for the belt as we could support them in installation as well as spare replenishment when required.

Result

After successful trial of the first belt, we received another enquiry to replace more belts at their production site.
