The method of reducing the gap of the conveyor belt

Feb 14, 2023

The reason for the gap in the conveyor belt: the stripping of the conveyor belt to prevent the widening of the gap in the surface rubber layer. The length of each layer in the middle of the stripping head of the conveyor belt is slightly shortened by 1mm, so as to prevent the error of this part of the length when stripping the belt. The layers corresponding to the upper and lower joints support each other, and the joints of the upper and lower surface rubber layers are instead widened. Put the two ends on top of each other, and check whether the layers of the heads match each other accurately. Leave a gap of 1 to 2mm between the heads of the same cloth layer. If it is not accurate to correct, it must be ensured that the same cloth layer at the head cannot overlap.
Solution: Precautions for glue application Clean the adhesive surface with a brush first, and then apply glue at least twice. The glue layer should be thin each time, but no leakage is allowed. After it is completely dry, the next glue can be applied. The glue must be completely dry, otherwise air bubbles will be generated, resulting in a decrease in adhesive performance. Use advanced cold patching glue to cover joint gaps. German Belzona cold patching glue and reinforced bandages can be used to cover the joint gaps of the conveyor belt, so as to completely prevent water and sand from entering the joint gaps and improve the belt better. service life of the connector. Do not cover joint gaps with hot patching. Because the hot patching method can reach a temperature above 145°C, which is extremely unfavorable for conveyor belt joints that have been bonded with cold glue.
