The
standard belt that is used on the CHANDLER MILLS are a Thermoplastic 2 ply-poly
belting, with a thickness of .065", it has a working tension of 45# per
inch in width, it is light weight, but yet, heavy enough to cut down on
slat rock, and is very durable, the overall weight of the belting material
per mill is 2.4#'s. For super free turning mill, I use a belt that is .031
in thickness, this belt is super light in weight, total overall weight per
mill is 1.5# per mill set up, very light, fast, but loud! This belt is for
those who want serious wind! And for those who are looking for a quieter
mill I use a belt that is 1/8" in thickness, with a total weight of 3.5#'s
per mill, the thicker belt helps to eliminate any slat rock, (slat rock
creates noise, from the slats rolling between the roller bed wheels) so
when ordering a mill look at these options, on how you want your mill to
run. |
