Conveyor Belt <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Flexane® 80 Putty<br />

5/15/93<br />

Kennecott Copper<br />

Mining<br />

Problem:<br />

This 36” wide conveyor belt would receive extreme impact wear from processing ore. The previous<br />

method of repair was to have an outside contractor repair by vulcanizing. This method of repair was costly<br />

<strong>and</strong> frequently caused long unscheduled downtime.<br />

Solution:<br />

The complete repair area was roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. Following<br />

roughening the area was chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was then applied <strong>and</strong><br />

allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. FL20 Primer improves the chemical bonding properties of Flexane<br />

80 Putty. Flexane 80 Putty was then mixed then applied replacing the missing worn rubber.
