Reuse the timing belt itself to contribute to cost reduction and decrease industrial waste!

We received information from a hygiene products manufacturer that they are reviewing the costs of various purchased items and are striving for environmental conservation. Issues: We have decided to consider whether we can contribute to cost reduction and the reduction of industrial waste with the wide timing belts that Kamata Industries supplies, which have sponge adhesion and silicone coating processing. Currently, the timing belts themselves show almost no visible damage, but the surface sponge and coating have been damaged and replaced with new ones. 1. Is it possible to reuse the main body of the used belt with its remaining strength? 2. Can the main body of the belt be reused and the surface reprocessed to be as good as new? 3. Is it possible to lower the unit price through reprocessing?

basic information

You have purchased processed wide timing belts. Since you have ordered a large quantity and the unit price of the products is high, I suggested reusing the belt itself to help reduce costs. Points: 1. The manufacturer measured the residual strength of the used belts and confirmed that there was little decrease in strength, verifying that they can be reused 2 to 3 more times without issue. 2. It was also confirmed that the reprocessed used belt and sponge can be finished to a condition similar to new. 3. The reprocessing costs lead to approximately a 30% cost reduction compared to new products. 4. Reusing the belts makes it possible to reduce industrial waste.
