50% Longer Life and $700/year Savings with Carlisle Belts!

A Casino Hotel in Las Vegas faced difficulties with their energy efficiency. A brief analysis showed their air handling system was under-tensioned, operating with sub-optimal drive belts, and demonstrated poor drive efficiency overall.

An energy efficiency test was run in two hour intervals under a controlled environment with new belts receiving proper tensioning and alignment.

The five standard wrapped belts were replaced with three Carlisle 5VX Power-Wedge Cog-Belts and the worn sheaves were replaced with new, larger diameter sheaves. A belt tensioning program was implemented as proper tensioning is critical to satisfactory belt life and performance.

As a result, the Carlisle 5VX belts showed a significant decrease in energy usage, produced higher air flow with lower power, maintained efficiency in real-life conditions better, and increased the life expectancy of the drive.
