Problem:
Conveyor belt was repaired by means of splicing. Splicing is often a short term repair, requiring an
expensive vulcanizing repair at a later date. Water and dust can contaminate the carcass of the belt
causing further damage such as fiber rotting.
Solution:
Both the mechanical splice and rubber repair area were roughened using a grinder and wire wheel
attachment. Complete repair area was chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL10 Primer was
applied over the metal mechanical clips. FL10 Primer was cure accelerated using a heat gun. Without the
assistance of heat to dry, FL10 Primer must be allowed to dry for 15 minutes. FL20 Primer was applied
over the FL10 primed clips, and to all contact areas of the rubber. FL20 Primer was allowed to cure or
dry for 15 minutes. Flexane 80 Putty was mixed and applied over the complete repair area. Flexane 80
Putty was used successfully to protect carcass from future damage, and covert a temporary repair to a
permanent repair.
