Acquiring the right power transmission (PT) solutions for effective water management can be integral to industrial worksites.
Any failure to adequately manage the flow of water on an industrial worksite can quickly create dangerous working conditions, cause corrosive damage to equipment, or bring operations to an indefinite halt. Water-based liquids on an industrial worksite often contain abrasive materials such as sludge chemical runoff, or other debris from construction or drilling. Additionally, certain industrial areas are subject to rainwater floods and the ingress of ground water, so it’s important for operations to keep working conditions dry.
Dewatering systems such as borehole, submersible, and centrifugal pumps are implemented to assist with everything from transferring sludge and slurry, to draining groundwater and surface water to the removal of wastewater for treatment and disposal. But due to the nature of the materials being transferred, dewatering pumps require powerful drive systems that can accommodate the scale and distance of dewatering pump systems. And those drive systems are supported by industrial grade belt drive solutions.
The Fenner PT point of difference
With over 150 years of experience developing power transmission solutions that cater to industrial businesses, the Fenner brand has earned its reputation as a trustworthy and reliable manufacturer of PT solutions among professional engineering bodies, suppliers, and customers alike. Their legacy includes supplying industrial belt solutions for even the most complex mining applications.
Fenner Classic V-belt
– Relative power: 75
For lighter duty applications, such as inflow water supply pumps, the Fenner® Classic V-belts are a staple for pump manufacturers. Ideal for high ratio or small pulley drives, the Fenner® Classic V belt has a specially treated jacket to give superior anti-static, heat and oil resistant properties which exceed industry anti-ignition standards. With its PB® (Precision Build) technology that eliminates the need to belt matching on multi-belt applications, the Fenner Classic V-belt allows for one-shot tensioning and a ‘fit-and forget’ solution.
• Accuracy and stability of length
• One-shot tensioning for fit-and-forget reliability
• Extended temperature range -40°C to +70°C
• PB® (Precision Build) technology, eliminating the need for matching
Fenner Power PLUS
– Relative power: 100
For more heavy-duty belt driven applications like dewatering pumps for groundwater and wastewater removal, the Fenner Power PLUS is ideal for single or multi-belt driven pump system assemblies. Built using advanced technology, Fenner Power PLUS transmission belts achieve economic performance by use of low elongation polyester cords and abrasion resistant impregnated jacket fabric.
• Accuracy and stability of length
• One-shot tensioning for fit-and-forget reliability
• Extended temperature range -40°C to +70°C
• Heat and oil resistant
• PB® (Precision Build) technology, eliminating the need for matching
