Optibelt RED POWER 3 high performance wedge belts and

kraftbands have been specially developed for applications in the mechanical engineering sector.
The following advantages speak in favour of RED POWER 3 belts:
up to 50% higher power ratings
maintenance-free
up to 97% efficiency
antistatic according toISO 1813, compatible with ATEX
suitable for back bend idlers
S=C Set Constant
extended service life
less downtimes
up to +100C temperature resistant
The solution is RED POWER 3.

maintenance-free
Set Constant
The Optibelt RED POWER 3 is available
in all standard profiles and lengths ranges
from 1200 mm up to 12,000 mm.

strong power rating

environmentally friendly

Maintenance-free
While standard belts require regular
re-tensioning of up to 10 times during
anestimated theoretical operating life of
25,000 hrs, RED POWER 3 V-belts and
kraftbands require no maintenance at all. Thus,
additional time, effort and costs are eliminated.

Once Installed:
No more re-tensioning

S=C PLUS
The name says it all: Optibelt S=C PLUS describes our
SetConstant V-belts not only within the tolerance ranges
of national and international standards.

The narrowest tolerances

and always at nominal size

97% efficiency
Standard V-belts achieve a maximum efficiency of 94%. The
Optibelt RED POWER 3 can achieve significantly more up to 97%.
Thus saving time, money and energy.

A practical example
16 hours a day, 260 days a year: continuous operation in a pelletizing
press in a feeding stuff factory. Based on an operational life of 25,000
hours, the running time is more than 6 years.

Standard V-belts loose

tension over time and
require regular re-tensioning if they are to work
efficiently and achieve
their potential belt life.
Inmany cases re-tensioning is not done, resulting
in increased energy
consumption, reduced
beltlife and excessive
downtime.
Due to their unique construction, RED POWER 3
belts keep their tension
throughout their service
life without the need
forre-tensioning. They
areproven to deliver
significant savings in the
areas of maintenance,
energy and belt purchase
costs and furthermore
achieve an increase in
productivity.

no maintenance costs
Eliminate production downtimes
optimising production processes
Prevent losses due to stoppages
