Gates Chain to Belt Solution

Gates believes in innovation and keeping their customers at the forefront of everything they do. That’s what the Chain to Belt solution is all about. Chain systems require constant maintenance, unsanitary oil baths, and can cause long, costly downtimes when they fail. Converting chain drive systems to a Gates belt drive solution eliminates those concerns. There is no lubrication or tensioning required which saves your people time and energy, while lasting three times as long as traditional chain and weighing 97% less on average. The end result is a system that will easily pay for the cost to upgrade in six to twelve months.
