The patented Twister Tensioner® has given maintenance workers a reason to relax and accountants a reason to smile...no moving parts.  None to jam, short-out, slip-up, decompress, deflate or disengage.  And most importantly, none to constantly

maintain and replace.  Compounded to a specific torque for a specific belt width, the Twister Tensioner® maintains perfect

blade-to-belt pressure at the head pulley and holds it there until the blade is replaced. 

.

Used with every ARCH primary cleaner and two of our three secondary cleaners, the Twister Tensioner® is the

most uncomplicated, yet most effective, tensioning device on the market today.

What's this mean to you?  I don't know; who are you?  If you're an operator, it means more production and less time that your belts are shut down.  If you're a shift supervisor, see previous.  If you're in maintenance, it means one less thing to worry about.  And if you're a bean counter, it means thousands of dollars saved on repair and replacement and a higher ROI.

Incredibly simple to install, the Twister Tensioner® requires only 4 1/2" (114 mm) of mounting space.  The polyurethane core is

corrosion-proof and will never rust.  Safe for mechanical splices, the Twister Tensioner® offers many advantages over competing tensioners and the following issues often associated with them:

.

Air Tensioners	Mechanical Tensioners	Rubber Tensioners
Loss of on-site air pressure	Spring style tensioners fail due to build up between the wire	Easily takes a set
Corrosion of metallic parts	Corrosion of metallic parts	Corrosion, because construction still allows metal-to-metal contact within the tensioner
Debris in air line damages tensioner and air line	Constant adjustment needed due to limited travel of the springs	"Wrapping" tensioners can cause the pipe to bind against the weld rings due to the rubber pulling up on the center line of the pipe
"Air-bag" tensioners can have holes worn in the rubber bag	Cleaners tend to bounce at mechanical splices because counterweights have too much or too little pressure	Operating temperature range is not as great
Constructed using numerous parts, so any one of these can be damaged or fail	.	.
Ice problems due to condensation in the air lines	.	.
