Ribbed belt Poly V Reloaded®

poly Vrubberfor blowers

Overview
Poly V Reloaded® is a ribbed power transmission belt with multiple longitudinal ribs. It transmits torque by contact between the belt rib flanks and the pulley grooves, enabling compact, high-tension drives for severe industrial applications.

Key benefits

• High transmission efficiency (≈98%)
• Increased power capacity (up to 40% vs standard Poly V PL with same width)
• Reduced belt and pulley width enabling space savings

Belt applications
The Poly V Reloaded® belt is suitable for heavy-duty applications requiring higher breaking strength and tension and allowing pulley diameter reduction, including:

• Kneading machines
• HVAC (industrial air conditioning)
• Gensets
• Energy (crude oil pumps)
• Machine tools (CNC machines)
• Screw compressors
• Centrifugal blowers
• Wood chippers

Compactness
Poly V Reloaded® achieves approximately 98% efficiency and can transmit up to 40% more power than a standard Poly V PL of the same width. This performance enables at least 25% reduction in belt and pulley widths.

Various improvements
By reducing the number of ribs, the design helps to:

• Limit friction and consequently reduce noise
• Decrease bending at the shaft ends
• Lower energy consumption
• Reduce overall transmission weight

Global cost reduction
Reduced pulley and belt widths lead to overall transmission acquisition cost savings estimated between 10% and 20%.
