The CBTU minimizes unplanned maintenance and reduces belt wear. There are no pulleys or counterweights. Just a simple belt path that allows the Q-Belt to push itself much of the way along without unnecessary wear and stress. With up to twice as much belt storage, the CBTU will seldom require unplanned belt length adjustments.
“It has virtually eliminated the need to either adjust take up or cut out excessive belt”
