Belt dust on alternator belt

I had this problem on an older motor with an aftermarket higher amp alternator. Just burned through the regular belts as the horsepower needed to drive the alternator caused the belt to wear out.
One solution is to put a wider pulley and belt system on. Or just keep cleaning the dust and buying new belts.
