Three common reasonable repair methods for conveyor belts.

Regarding problems such as damage and scratches on conveyor belts, included PE Conveyor Belt, PVC Conveyor Belt and PU Conveyor Belt. Conveyor Belt manufacturers have summarized three commonly used conveyor belt repair methods:

1. Hot repair method

Usually, special patchers, vulcanizers and hot vulcanized materials suitable for conveyor belts are used to carry out "traceless" repairs of equal strength to the damaged parts of the conveyor belt. This kind of repair can completely eliminate the damage to the conveyor belt and restore it to its original condition. It is suitable for more important, long-distance, high-speed, and large-volume transportation systems. Of course, completing this type of maintenance requires specialized equipment and good personnel. It is a more reliable and ideal method for conveyor belt maintenance.

2. Cold repair method

Usually, special cold adhesive, repair film and special tools must be used to repair the damaged parts of the conveyor belt in order to achieve continuous operation. Obviously, this kind of filling repair is a temporary solution. Therefore, its main purpose is: when the conveyor belt is damaged, timely cold repair can prevent the damaged part of the conveyor belt from continuing to expand and extend, thereby effectively protecting the core of the conveyor belt from damage, so as to wait and obtain Time and opportunity required for repairs.

3. Mechanical repair method

Clips, nails, connecting plates and screws or metal soft wires and special appliances made of metal materials are usually used to fix or connect the damaged parts of the conveyor belt to maintain operation. Even in many times and situations today, this seemingly simple, crude, or even ugly processing method can actually play an emergency role and get twice the result with half the effort.

The ideal and perfect repair of conveyor belts must strictly follow the principle of "equal strength, same lifespan", that is, it can only be achieved by using hot repair processes and technologies. The real purpose of other repair technology applications is to obtain appropriate repair time and opportunities. Therefore, cold repair and mechanical repair must not be used as the final treatment for conveyor belt damage. Just pursuing convenience and simplicity, pursuing low cost and short time, the result is likely to be endless troubles.
