Poly Chain^® GT^® Carbon^® Belt Drive Systems — Nothing Tougher

Roller chain is not your only option. Consider Poly Chain^® GT^® Carbon^® belt drive systems from Gates, offering numerous benefits over your conventional chain drive and many gear systems as well:

• When considering investment costs, belts last three times longer than chain, and the sprockets ten times longer. Total cost of ownership for a belt drive is significantly less than a chain drive.
• No stretch, no lubrication and no metal-to-metal part wear deliver a low maintenance drive. The hours spent lubricating and retensioning can be refocused to more critical tasks.
• Production is lost every time the drive is shut down. Less maintenance means less downtime.
• The stronger-than-steel carbon fiber tensile cord construction gives the drive high horsepower carrying capacity and compactness.
• The drive is impervious to washdown, resisting moisture, chemicals and abrasion — perfect for food and beverage applications.
