Mill drives often have to transmit a lot of power – in a small space.

A V-ribbed belt:

• combines the flexibility of a flat belt
• with the high power transmission of a V-belt

Ideal for compact, powerful drives.

The numerous ribs give the ribbed belt a large contact surface with the pulley.

Advantages:

• Less slippage
• Smoother running
• High efficiency (over 95%)

This is particularly important in mills, as the machines often run under high loads.

Mills (grain, animal feed, wood, etc.) are subject to harsh conditions:

• Dust
• Fine particles
• Temperature fluctuations

Optibelt ribbed belts are designed to operate reliably under these conditions and not wear out prematurely.

Mills often generate vibrations due to grinding or hammering mechanisms. Ribbed belts dampen these vibrations, so that the drive:

• runs more smoothly
• protects bearings and shafts
• requires less maintenance

Ribbed belts can:

• run on smaller pulleys
• compensate for slight misalignments

This allows mills to be designed in a more compact and cost-effective manner.

Optibelt is known for:

• robust materials
• temperature- and wear-resistant rubber compounds

This reduces downtime – which is very important in milling technology.
