Peter Gustavsson points another important criterion
when selecting HX270: “Automatic belt damage
inspection routine makes belt service efficient,
convenient and safe. We can drive the belt damages
automatically to the predefined repair station in
sequential order by using full belt speed. Inspection
and repair setup is always in the optimal location,
which is near by the tail end pulley in this case. There
is enough space and it’s easy to access for the belt
repair. Belt damage inspection and repair decisions
can be made in short stoppages. This enables true
proactive belt maintenance.”
