Under proper storage conditions, belts can be used for many years without appreciable deterioration of quality and service life.Shelf life can be enhanced between 4-6 years provided following guidelines are followed as a good preservation practices:
1. Store belts in a cool, dry, dust-free area, away from radiators and direct sunlight.
2. Temperatures ideally between 5 degree C and 30 degree C and relative humidity below 70
percentage are recommended near storage location of material stores
3. Store belts away from ozone producing unguarded fluorescent lights, mercury vapor lamps, and high
voltage electrical equipment.
4. Do not store belts near chemicals, oils, solvents, lubricants and acids.
5. Belts can be coiled on shelves or hung on pegs having diameter not less than minimum diameter sheave
recommended for the belt cross section.
6. However, avoid sharp bends and stresses that can cause deformation, cracks or any other damage to the
belts.
7. Stack belts no higher than 12" to prevent damage to the belts at the bottom of the pile.
8. When hanging, coil longer belts to prevent distortion due to belt weight
9.Do not store belts on the floor unless they are in a protective container. Floor locations are exposed to
traffic that may damage the belts.
10.When the belts are stored, they must not be bent to diameters smaller than the minimum recommended
sheave or sprocket diameter for that cross section.
