BSL Brammer leads the charge on energy savings
BSL Brammer and the Carbon Trust are helping to lead the debate in the critical area of energy savings, with a series of seminars focussing on practical approaches to reducing energy consumption
Developed to improve belt drive efficiency and cut life time costs, PolyChain features a unique polyurethane compound giving it long life and hard-wearing characteristics, plus an aramid cord providing high power load carrying capacity.
The initial costs may be higher than a standard drive belt package - but energy savings of around 10% are considerable as are the maintenance free cost savings.
Key PolyChain benefits are.
* Carries minimum 40% more power than any other competitor belts.
* Maintenance free, needing no lubrication or re-tensioning.
* Once correctly installed operates at maximum efficiency for the life of the belt (standard belt life 3 years).
* Substantial weight and space savings.
* Low noise levels.
* Resists oil, chemicals, pollutants, corrosion and abrasion.
* Operates under extreme temperatures.
PolyChain applications include fans, blowers, pumps, conveyor drives, mixers and centrifuges.
BSL Brammer Mechanical PT business manager Mike Gathercole said: "Companies won't want to use anything else once they've fitted PolyChain".
