A belt breakdown in an air handling unit is more than just an inconvenience. With so many different belts to choose from, the right replacement is unlikely to be on hand, and that can mean lengthy downtime. But now with Fenner® QuickFix, any belt breakdown can be sorted in just half an hour.

Fully-functioning HVAC units can be crucial. In a hospital environment, for example, lack of a working ventilation system can lead to cancelled operations. And with many different units usually operating in the same building – whether it’s a hospital, airport or large warehouse – the odds are always against having the right belt in stock or carried by the emergency engineer.

So the ideal solution to prevent an emergency becoming a costly crisis is a multi-purpose belt. The Fenner QuickFix is that belt.

Pick a belt, any belt

Pick any belt you like and the Fenner QuickFix belt can replace it. 

Firstly, its dual groove “V” and “wedge” profile means the QuickFix can be used to stand-in for either type. Secondly, it’s available in four widths – SPZ, SPA, SPB and SPC – to give you a wide choice of options. Lastly, it comes in five-metre rolls that can be cut to length on site. 

All of which means, with just two five-metre boxes of each section size, every possible belt combination will be covered, for both new and old systems. That’s not too many for a stores to carry, or for an emergency engineer to have on the van.  

Strip out stripping down

The Fenner QuickFix saves downtime in three ways. 

Belts can be made on site to any length in minutes. They can be installed with a minimum strip-down of the unit – thanks to the jointed link belt design. And because any belt breakdown can be resolved in around half an hour, the HVAC system can be back up and running in next-to-no-time. 

Then even while the replacement permanent belt is on order and awaiting delivery, the asset can continue to operate.

Versatile, reliable, cost-effective and fast, Fenner QuickFix is a quick fix for HVAC belts, and for stores, plant room and facilities management companies too.
