Oil and gas belts by Megadyne-Jason suit different equipment types

Megadyne-Jason manufactures many models of belts for use in the oil and gas industry.

Megadyne-Jason is the source that businesses turn to when they need belts for industrial equipment. The company’s portfolio includes many products and accessories for the oil and gas sector. Workers usually apply these oil and gas belts in machinery that assists with drilling, extraction, transport, or delivery.

Whether transmitting power or moving products, Megadyne-Jason’s oil and gas belts provide an important function in ensuring efficient, reliable operation.

The right belt every time

Oil and gas belts by Megadyne-Jason are commonly used in key pieces of process and auxiliary equipment in land-based and offshore oil exploration. In drilling applications, these belts are most useful in mud pumps, shale shakers, and shear pumps.

Mud pumps deliver liquid under high pressure underground to remove rock cuttings from the bottoms of drill bits and holes as drills make their way down to oil reservoirs. Then they pump liquid back to the surface and sent it through shale shakers with rock pieces. As they use up high horsepower, mud pumps require large belts, like banded rubber V-belts and platinum rubber timing belts.

Shale shakers are made up of several screens that separate rock fragments from water and mud; for these machines, Megadyne-Jason offers rubber V-belts (in classical and deep-wedge designs) and banded rubber V-belts. Shear pumps are belt-driven devices that mix different liquids into the mud that gets fed back into drilling pipes. This equipment requires rubber V-belts and platinum rubber timing belts.

For extraction, Megadyne-Jason offers belts for wellhead compressors, pumpjacks, and offshore plunger pumps. Used primarily near the end of oil production, wellhead compressors rely on rubber V-belts and platinum rubber timing belts. Pumpjacks, which replace drilling rigs when oil is reached, work with several models of rubber V-belts, while offshore plunger pumps use several models of rubber V-belts and platinum rubber timing belts.

Refining applications require air-cooled heat exchangers, and Megadyne-Jason supplies made-to-order synchronous rubber timing belts for this equipment. Also available are platinum rubber timing belts and rubber V-belts for stimulation fracturing pumps.

Whatever the oil and gas application, Megadyne-Jason has the right belt every time.
