Conveyor Belt <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Flexane® 80 Putty<br />
9/10/92<br />
Hemlo Gold Mines<br />
Mining<br />
Problem:<br />
Conveyor belts would receive extreme abrasive wear from processing gold ore. The previous method of<br />
repair was to vulcanize whenever possible. Vulcanizing was an expensive repair process, often causing<br />
long unscheduled shutdowns.<br />
Solution:<br />
The complete repair area was roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. Surface area was<br />
then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was applied <strong>and</strong> allowed to cure or dry for<br />
15 minutes. Flexane 80 Putty was applied, smoothed <strong>and</strong> contoured using a putty knife. Heat can be<br />
applied to speed the cure process. This customer now uses Flexane 80 Putty Fast Cure, (90 minute<br />
functional cure), for quick, emergency repairs reducing downtime.
