Parker Hannifin Maintains Operations at Romanian Belt-Drive Factory

September 15, 2020

Parker Hannifin is helping PH Technique SRL solve oil leakage problems and reduce machine cycle time at Arntz Optibelt Group’s factory in Romania.

Optibelt is a global manufacturer of belt drives, which are used in the automotive, agricultural, and household appliance industries. The family-run company, which is headquartered in Höxter (North Rhine-Westphalia) in Germany, runs eight production sites in six countries. At its factory in Baia Mare City, Romania, the company was experiencing oil leakage problems with its equipment and wanted to reduce machine cycle time.

It collaborated with PH Technique to research and analyse factory operations. They changed all the power units inside the plant and repaired the machines to stop oil leakage.

PH Technique continues to maintain the plant each year during shut down. It changes all filters, oil, and hydraulic hoses, visually inspects the pumps and refills the Nitrogen accumulators.
