All conveyor belts must be connected in a circular shape before they can be used, so the quality of conveyor belt joints directly affects the service life of the conveyor belt and the smooth operation of the conveyor line. Generally, common methods for conveyor belt joints include mechanical joints, cold bonding joints, hot vulcanization joints, etc.
Mechanical joint method for conveyor belts: Generally refers to the use of belt buckle joints. This joint method is convenient, convenient, and relatively economical, but the efficiency of the joints is low, easy to damage, and has a certain impact on the service life of conveyor belt products. In PVC and PVG whole core flame-retardant and anti-static conveyor belt joints, generally products below grade 8 belts use this joint method.
Cold adhesive head method for conveyor belts: using cold adhesive for joints. This joint method is more efficient and economical than mechanical joints, and should have good joint effects. However, in practice, due to the difficulty in mastering the process conditions and the significant impact of adhesive quality on the joints, it is not very stable.
Conveyor belt hot vulcanization joint method: Practice has proven to be the most ideal joint method, which can ensure high joint efficiency and is also very stable. The joint life is also long and easy to master. However, there are drawbacks such as process trouble, high cost, and long joint time.
