Conveyor belt joint types and joining techniques
Conveyor belt joint types and joining techniques Mechanical fasteners: Strength and Dependability Conveyor belt joining frequently uses mechanical fasteners because of its robustness and dependability. The belt ends are fastened securely with these fasteners, which are made of metal plates or hinges. To ensure a solid binding, the belt ends are lined up and put into the fastener before being tightened. There are various benefits to using mechanical fasteners. Because of their remarkable joint strength, the conveyor belt can support large loads and severe strain. They also require little effort to install or replace, which reduces downtime when performing maintenance. Flexibility and Durability of Vulcanization An additional common technique for connecting conveyor belts is hot vulcanization. In order to vulcanize the belt ends together, vulcanizing presses are heated and compressed throughout this procedure. Excellent flexibility and durability make vulcanized joints ideal for a
