PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Gates Poly Chain® GT® Carbon™ Belt Drive Systems

Gates has created the world's most powerful synchronous belt drive system. Matching the power density of conventional roller chain drives and many gear drive systems, the Poly Chain GT Carbon belt drive systems use premium grade carbon fibers in belts for a patented dynamic application. The belts offer exceptionally high power transmission capacity, strength, flexibility and durability.

The systems pack a lot of power into a small space, matching the capacity of roller chain drives width-for-width in most pitch sizes and outperforming roller chain in even the most demanding high-torque applications.

Carbon belts are the key to a clean system. During washdown, the system resists moisture, pollutants, and abrasion. It also experiences reduced downtime and is virtually maintenance-free.

Download the Gates Product Catalog to learn more about Gates carbon belt drive systems.

Their high efficiency and cleanliness make Gates belt drive systems ideally suited for food processing applications - from the introduction of raw materials to getting packaged products out the door. The belts rarely require retensioning and last up to three times longer than chain. Forget lubrication and rust contamination.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Create a Better Place to Work
Employee morale is one of the most important contributing components to productivity. When it comes to getting the most out of the people on the frontline, action among leadership equals results among employees. It's common for management to talk about a need for good leadership, but far too seldom does management move from inspiration to execution. Management experts Bill Catlette and Richard Hadden say there are six leadership techniques you can implement to create results and positive morale among their employees. Tips include: conduct a morale survey; analyze hiring performance; evaluate training feedback; show employees the fruits of their labor; and investigate effectiveness of internal communications.
