Functional engineering application
The PIX-Force Section B (B-60) Classical Wrapped V-Belt represents Kenya's most widely installed industrial drive belt profile across heavy manufacturing, tea processing, agricultural grain milling, and municipal water pumping stations. Designed and manufactured by PIX Transmissions Ltd, the B-60 belt delivers exceptional power transfer capability under continuous heavy loading and pulsating mechanical stresses. With a standardized trapezoidal profile measuring 17 mm in top width and 11 mm in thickness, the PIX-Force Section B belt incorporates high-strength, pre-stretched polyester cords centered in a resilient synthetic cushion rubber. This engineered cord placement ensures optimum flex fatigue resistance when cycling over industrial sheaves, while minimizing permanent stretch and eliminating frequent manual belt retensioning. The tough outer fabric wrap is impregnated with specially formulated polychloroprene elastomer, providing outstanding resistance to ambient heat build-up, lubricating oil splashes, abrasive agricultural chaff, and mineral dust. In food processing and tea factory environments, the belt's ISO 1813 antistatic properties dissipate electrostatic charges safely. Offering an inside length (Li) of 1524 mm (60 inches) and a datum pitch length (Ld) of 1564 mm, the B-60 operates reliably on all standard Section B pulleys with minimum pitch diameters of 112 mm. Available through STARNEX Industrial Spares with official KRA VAT invoicing and rapid regional logistics.
Heavy-duty classical wrapped V-belt Section B engineered for high-torque industrial machinery, tea processing CTC rollers, and posho flour mills in Kenya.

Common questions on this part
The PIX-Force B-60 has a top width of 17 mm, a thickness of 11 mm, an inside length (Li) of 1524 mm (60 inches), a datum pitch length (Ld) of 1564 mm, and an outside length (La) of 1593 mm.
Section B balances high power transmission (up to 5-10 kW per belt depending on speed) with flexibility over common 112-200 mm motor sheaves, making it the ideal size for 7.5 kW to 37 kW motors common in tea CTC lines and maize roller mills.
Yes. A BX-60 cogged belt has the identical 17×11mm trapezoidal cross section and datum length as a B-60 wrapped belt, but provides greater flexibility and runs cooler over smaller pulleys.
Replace when the belt bottoms out in the pulley groove (indicating excessive sidewall wear), when sidewall glazing causes continuous slipping despite proper tension, or if the cover fabric begins fraying.
Yes. STARNEX supplies factory-matched PIX-Force belts produced within tight ISO length tolerance bands, ensuring equal load sharing across all pulley grooves on 30 kW to 75 kW multi-belt motor drives.
