Problem this solves
Incorrect splicing reduces belt life and increases downtime. This guide compares mechanical, hot, and cold splice options.
Splice method comparison
| Method | Strengths | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical | Fast installation | Emergency repairs |
| Hot splice | High strength | Permanent joints |
| Cold splice | Lower heat | Medium duty applications |
Selection steps
- 1Identify belt material and thickness.
- 2Confirm downtime allowance and site access.
- 3Check hygiene and washdown requirements.
- 4Select splice based on strength and service life.
