BMG’s extensive range of specialised Gates belting includes heavy-duty Predator V-belts, which have been specially designed to meet the challenges of drives that need to perform optimally in harsh African conditions.
Typical applications for Predator belts are on heavy-duty crushers, grinders, shredders and debarkers, as well as sand and gravel processors, where standard V-belts have performance issues.
Gates Predator V-belts – with the highest power density of any V-belts – offer dependable solutions for drives where single belts vibrate, turn over or jump off the pulleys. The Predator PowerBand design comprises several V-belts joined together by a permanent, high-strength tie band, allowing the belts to work together as one unit.
Predator V-belts offer at least 40% higher power ratings than the standard industry Gates Super HC belts. The heavy-duty Predator range is manufactured from advanced materials, and is designed to enhance the performance and durability of machinery, also reducing maintenance requirements and minimising downtime in the most challenging environments.
The exceptionally high-power rating per belt allows the drive designer to reduce the number of belts required, resulting in narrower pulleys and lighter weight than standard systems. All these design features increase overall drive efficiency.
In addition, using aramid tensile cords, these durable V-belts offer high shock load resistance and virtually zero stretch. Other important benefits are increased productivity, less frequent re-tensioning and safe operation in a temperature range between -30 and 60°C.
A specially treated double fabric cover provides abrasion resistance, which means the V-belt can withstand debris, punctures, slippage and shearing forces. The outer surface of the double fabric cover is manufactured in a bareback, non-rubber impregnated construction, enabling the belt to endure heavy shock and impulse loads without generating excessive heat.
The Predator range is available from BMG in both PowerBand and Single belts. The Predator PowerBand belt, which replaces several belts with the strength of a single belt, features a multiple layer tie band that provides excellent lateral rigidity to prevent belts from turning over or from coming off the drive.
Single belts are specially designed for heavy-duty applications where Powerband belts are not an option, such as when debris needs to pass through the space between individual belts without damaging the belt section.
PowerBand belts are available in SPBP, SPCP, and 8VP sections, while Single belts are available on demand in SPBP and SPCP sections.
This robust and flexible range of Gates V-belts is available from BMG’s extensive branch network and is enhanced by a technical advisory and 24-hour support service throughout Africa.
