01 Jun The key to better machine design is no key at all
From the moment the wheel came into existence, people have been faced with the seemingly simple task of mounting their inventions to a shaft so that something useful could be accomplished. Within an industrial scenario, such as in a recycling plant, components such as couplings, pulleys,...
01 Jun Improved efficiency with GWO Syn-Gear industrial oil
One question that operators and maintenance personnel in recycling plants often have to deal with is ‘how do you know which lubricant is the best fit for a given application?’ The answer is not always simple. While each piece of machinery usually comes with a maintenance...
01 Jun FAG X-life: Bearings that don’t budge under pressure
The recent coronavirus pandemic has once again brought to light the need for a resilient waste management sector that can facilitate the move towards a circular economy. The Australian Council of Recycling estimates that Australian households have thrown out as much as 10 per cent more...
01 Jun Building material recycler relies on high-performance Gates® belts

14 Feb Fit for the grind: NTN’s Mill trunnion bearings
When the bore diameter of a bearing is 1.5 metres, it’s not classified as an ‘off-the-shelf’ item. Yet these extra-large bearings are often employed on critical pieces of equipment, such as the trunnions of grinding mills at mine sites. This is why a trusted supplier with engineering expertise in the installation and maintenance of these bearings is so important to the customers that use them.
18 Nov Unchained productivity possibilities
The Gates Corporation has engineered a power transmission belt that is lighter, cleaner and completely removes maintenance costs compared with roller chain. Roller chains play a vital role in industrial machinery, commonly used for power transmission on drives. However, certain aspects of a roller chain’s metal composition can...
24 Oct Condition monitoring in mining maintenance: Scalable, customisable solutions
The first signs of impending breakdown in machinery typically include tiny changes in vibration that warn of excessive wear in the bearings upon which efficient functioning depends. Left unheeded – because they are notoriously hard to detect – these subtle rumbles lead to energy wastage, under-performance...
23 Sep CBC Australia opens the Gates for international belt innovation
CBC and the Gates Corporation have teamed up to supply Australian bulk handlers with high-quality drive belts for industrial applications. In 1911, Charles Gates Sr. acquired a tyre and rubber company in Denver Colorado. At the time, the company only made a single product, a steel-studded band of...
19 Sep Withstanding harsh environments
As mining companies look to cut costs and reduce downtime associated with machinery, Gates offers the market its Predator V belts. Australian Mining writes. Mining operations are often exposed to the harshest of climates and naturally, this has an effect on machinery and equipment that must withstand the rigours...
