HOT VULCANISED FINGER SPLICING
Conventional vulcanising presses are used for this process, in conjunction with a variety of polymeric jointing materials developed for maximum joint efficiency. This type of splice enables good quality joints to be made with strengths approaching that of the parent belt. Hot vulcanising offers certain advantages, including:
The highest joint strength possible
A reduced risk of tearing at the splice area
A smooth joint area for superior performance under scrapers,
ploughs, deflectors and minimal impact over pulleys and idlers
Operation through automatic weighing devices and
magnetic separators
Reduced maintenance
Resistance to moisture and harmful chemicals
Superior resistance to abrasion
Easier cleaning
Reduced spillage
MECHANICAL FASTENERS
The thick, high textile content of the solid woven carcass, combined with the superior PVC impregnation produced by our unique process, gives excellent fastener holding properties. A wide range of fasteners including Mato, Goro, Titan and Flexco are suitable for use with solid woven conveyor belting. Mechanical fasteners are appropriate in conditions where:
Belts are replaced frequently
Belts and conveyors are extended regularly
Emergency jointing or repairs are required
Take up travel is limited
