Belt Splicing

Introduction

All conveyor belts require splicing.  There are two categories of splicing namely mechanical splicing and vulcanized splicing, both of which are covered in this section.

The integrity of a splice is extremely important as a failed splice results in downtime, often with a high associated cost to repair the belt, loss of production, the cost of damage to the conveyor and so on.

Belt splices should be performed by skilled personnel who have been trained in the techniques, procedures and the equipment required to perform successful splices.

The design of the splice is equally important and this section of the Handbook provides meaningful information relating to splice technology, the method of splicing fabric and steel cord belts and the tools required to perform a splice.
