Problem:<br />
This conveyor belt would receive extreme wear from processing wall board particulate. The wear was so<br />
severe that the belt was worn 1/8” deep into the carcass, <strong>and</strong> continued for 4 inches wide by 360 feet<br />
long! Conveyor belt replacement cost was estimated to $10K.<br />
Solution:<br />
The complete repair area was roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. Following<br />
roughening the surface area was chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was then<br />
applied <strong>and</strong> allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. Flexane 80 Putty was then mixed <strong>and</strong> applied to the<br />
repair area. Flexane 80 Putty was smoothed <strong>and</strong> feathered using a putty knife. To accelerate curing, a<br />
heat gun was waved over the completed repair area. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $3K.
