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

We received information that a hygiene products manufacturer is reviewing the costs of various purchases and is making efforts 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 attachment and silicone coating processing. Currently, the timing belts themselves show almost no visible wear, 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 based on its residual strength? 2. Can the main body of the belt be reused and reprocessed to restore the surface to like-new condition? 3. Is it possible to reduce the unit price through reprocessing?

basic information

You have purchased processed wide timing belts. Since the quantity of purchase is large and the product unit price is high, I proposed the reuse of the belt itself to contribute to cost reduction. Points: 1. The manufacturer measured the residual strength of the used belts and confirmed that there was almost no decrease in strength, and that reusing them 2 to 3 more times is not a problem. 2. It was also confirmed that the reprocessed items made from used belt bodies and sponge can be finished to be as good as new. 3. The reprocessing cost leads to about a 30% cost reduction compared to new products. 4. Reusing the belts makes it possible to reduce industrial waste.
