US: Flexco has added the PTEZ Belt Trainer to its line of belt trainers. Designed with the Flexco ‘Pivot and Tilt’ feature, the new PTEZ Belt Trainer is targeted at
applications that requires tracking to prevent damage to the belt or conveyor structure, including single-direction and reversing belts.

“The PTEZ Belt Trainer is an advanced solution over typical low-cost wobblers or pivot-only trainers,” said Kevin Fales, marketing specialist for Flexco. “With our unique pivot and tilt technology, the PTEZ will pivot away from and increase tension on the mistracked side in order to quickly guide the belt back to the centre.”

The PTEZ belt trainer can be used on vulcanised or mechanically-fastened belts for most medium-duty applications, including wet and dry conditions, belts with edge damage or wear, and belts that are mistracking to one or both sides. The line’s ‘Pivot and Tilt’ feature keeps the belt away from the structure and the material stays on the belt without the use of sensor or edge rollers. The tapered ends on the roller drive the pivot and tilt mechanism, allowing the two forces to quickly move the belt back to the centre. The PTEZ Belt Trainer also features a polyurethane roller cover to prolong its lifespan.

US: In November 2015 Fenner Drives will launch PowerTwist Wedge Belts, a long-lasting upgrade to rubber wedge belts.

As the only twist-lock belt available in a wedge profile, PowerTwist Wedge Belts are engineered to combine the performance of a rubber wedge belt with the added-value design of link belting. PowerTwist Wedge Belts will be available in SPA and SPB profiles. 

The link design of PowerTwist allows for simple inventory management with easy, fast installation even on captive or fixed center drives. With a high resistance to abrasion and shock loads, PowerTwist is constructed to withstand extreme temperatures and is unaffected by oil, grease, water and common industrial solvents. 

PowerTwist Link Belting is the proven choice for a variety of industrial power transmission applications including cement, mining, aggregate, metal manufacturing, forestry and any wedge or V belt applications.
