Introducing the ROSTA MB50
ROSTA Australia offers a range of self-tensioning motor bases (or motor mounts) that are extensively used by leading mining and quarrying operators.
Offering a safer, convenient and cost-effective option to traditional mounting devices, the ROSTA motor base range is also incorporated as a standard product by major screen manufacturers.
Maintaining proper belt tension is imperative in crusher, screening and fanning applications.
A tight belt can lead to early bearing wear and failure.
A loose belt can create transmission losses leading to costly downtime.
Similarly, significant downtime is experienced with traditional mounting devices that require constant tensioning of belts.
The ROSTA MB50 (and other ROSTA MB products) incorporates a self-tensioning device, which continuously compensates belt elongation thereby improving drive efficiency and reducing downtime.
The MB50 can be installed by one person using a flat 30mm wrench.
Similarly the changing of belts can also be undertaken by one person, usually in under 15 minutes.
With less workers required, and an easy to access tensioning system at the ready, the MB50 offers a considerable safety advantage with less exposure to safety risks.
With no belt realignment required, the MB50 also offers a significant reduction in belt related downtime, adding to the cost efficiency of an operation.
It also reduces belt slippage and subsequent power draw by continuously compensation belt elongation.
