Re: Offset And Angular Tolerances Of Conveyor Belt Splicing

Erstellt am 6. Feb. 2005 - 11:01

Hi farhadi

I would think 5 mm would be the maximum permissible for misalignment of belt ends after the completion of the splice.

A few tips to ensure the completed splice is straight:

1/ Presuming the belt ends are string lined prior to splice lay up, if so the centre belt marks should line up exactly at both sides of the splice.

2/ Checking the edges of the belt ends with the string line is also good practice if there is any doubt prior to lay-up.

3/ When the technicians are laying the cables and gum, make sure that they are string lined for straightness both sides every 5 to 10 cables.

4/ Have plenty of splice table available each side of the splice, this ensures the centre marks are well spaced.

5/ Suitable Edge bars, length, thickness and width.
