I Hear Browning Has A New 5VX EPDM V-Belt.
What Can You Tell Me About It?
All Browning 3VX, 5VX and
8VX Gripnotch v-belts are now
formulated with EPDM. (Ethylene
Propylene Diene Monomer),
which is a synthetic rubber
compound.
EPDM Benefits
The primary benefit of adding EPDM is an expanded operating temperature range. Industry
Standard Neoprene v-belts have an operating temperature of - 30°F to + 140°F. Browning
EPDM expands that range to - 60°F to + 230°F. This expanded range helps ensure long-life and
reliable performance even in the most demanding climates and heat sensitive applications.
Browning EPDM v-belts are also smoother running due to a higher tolerance for misalignment.
