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.
