Run With Us for Energy Savings

Manufacturing companies in the U.S. spend $30 billion annually on the electricity powering motor-driven systems, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Many of these motors are not running at optimum efficiency. Efficiency matters, because loss of power is a loss of money.

Gates PowerGrip^®GT^®2 or Poly Chain^® GT^® Carbon^™ synchronous belt drives operate at a consistent 98% efficiency, eliminating the excess energy consumption of other drives to show significant savings. Here's how:

• Synchronous belts have less mass, generate less heat and have minimal belt creep compared to V-belts.
• Because synchronous belt drives do not stretch, they offer reduced maintenance, letting you focus on more critical activities.
• These belts require no run-in procedure or retensioning, so downtime is minimized. More uptime equates to more production.

Looking to improve the efficiency on your V-belt drive? Gates molded notch EPDM construction belts are up to 3% more efficient than wrapped belts.

Energy costs are on the rise, so don't miss an opportunity to run with us and save thousands of dollars. As part of our Powered^® Savings program, Gates will survey your power transmission drive systems to identify and redesign drives with the greatest potential for energy savings.
