On site belt jointing_

  • On-site belt jointing (or splicing) is the process of joining two ends of a conveyor belt together directly on the structural conveyor frame.
    • Hot Vulcanisation: Uses heat, pressure, and raw rubber strips in a specialized press to chemically bond the belt ends. It creates the strongest, smoothest, and longest-lasting joint, making it ideal for high-tension steel-cord or heavy fabric belts.
    • Cold Vulcanisation: Uses chemical bonding agents and specialized adhesives to fuse the stepped ends of fabric belts together at ambient temperatures. It requires no heavy heating presses, making it cost-effective for medium-duty belts, but requires curing time.
    • Mechanical Fastening: Uses metal staples, rivets, or bolts to mechanically clamp the belt ends together. It is the fastest method for emergency repairs and requires minimal training, but creates a rigid joint that can wear down pulleys and scrapers.

On site pulley lagging

On site pulley lagging

  • Pulley lagging is the process of applying a protective, high-friction layer or coating to the shell of a conveyor pulley while it remains mounted on the system.
    • Purpose: It eliminates belt slippage by increasing the friction coefficient, sheds water and debris from the system, and protects the metal pulley shell from premature abrasive wear
    • Materials: Usually utilizes grooved rubber sheets (diamond or herringbone patterns) for standard drive pulleys, or ceramic tile-embedded rubber strips for extreme-tension, wet, or muddy environments.
    • Application Method: The metal surface is ground clean and primed on-site. Specialized cold-bonding industrial adhesives are applied to permanently fuse the lagging strips directly onto the pulley without dismantling the conveyor structure.

Maintenance of conveyor belt_

Maintenance of conveyor belt_

  • Conveyor belt maintenance involves a scheduled mix of inspections and adjustments to maximize the service life of the belt and prevent catastrophic system downtime.
    • Daily Tracking & Alignment: Monitoring and adjusting idlers to ensure the belt runs dead-centre. Misalignment causes edge fraying, structural damage, and material spillage.
    • Component Inspection: Checking for frozen or seized idlers, worn-out impact cradles, and damaged pulley lagging that can score or cut the moving belt.
    • Tension & Cleaner Management: Maintaining proper counterweight or take-up tension to prevent belt slippage, and adjusting scrapers/cleaners to remove sticky material carryback that causes tracking issues.
    • Damage Control: Routinely inspecting the top rubber cover for deep cuts, gouges, or damaged joints, and applying immediate cold patch repairs to prevent water or moisture from rotting the internal fabric carcass.
