Introduction

With the rapid industrial growth in India, the demand for V-Belts and Fan Belts is increasing day by day. V-Belts are largely used in single or multiple form for automobiles, domestic and commercial equipment and in industrial drives for a wide range of horse power extending upward from a fractional value.


Market Potential

There is a good scope for starting new units in this line. V-Belts drives are becoming increasingly popular because of the trend towards individual drives which are efficient and easy to maintain.


Basis and Presumptions

  • The estimates are drawn for a production capacity generally considered techno-economically viable for a model type of manufacturing activity.
  • The information supplied is based on the standard type of manufacturing activities utilizing conventional techniques of production.
  • The cost of land and building, machinery and equipment, rawmaterials and selling price of the finished products etc. are those generally obtained at the time of preparation of project profile and may vary depending upon various factors.
  • Whereas some names of suppliers of machinery and equipment, raw-materials are indicated at the end of the profile, these are by no means exclusive or exhaustive.

Implementation Schedule

In the project, land and building has been taken as rented and as such there is no problem of acquisition of land and other formalities. The entire plant and machinery and other equipments have to be purchased and installed. It may take about 3 to 6 months on an average for a unit to go into regular production.


Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

Rubber along with other chemicals and fillers is compounded on a mixing mill. The compound is taken in a sheet form in varying thickness based on the type of V-Belts. Tyre cords are dipped in a dipping tank. Canvas is coated with rubber solution on a spreading machine and cut into sizes. Then the rubber compound sheet is taken on a forming machine. The rotating former round in shape comes in various sizes of diameter. The rubber sheet thus formed is followed by cord winding, rubber sheet, and so on as per specifications. When the forming is completed, it is cut into V-belts. These V-belts are removed from the former and each belt is wrapped with the coated canvas on a wrapping machine. These belts are mounted on split pulley and thus a number of pullies are stacked on each other and firmly bolted. The bolted pullies are wrapped tightly with a canvas. Then these are placed in a vulcaniser with a boiler attached to it. The belts are then marked and packed for marketing.
