All conveyor belts must be connected in a ring shape to be used, so the quality of the conveyor belt joint directly affects the service life of the conveyor belt and whether the conveyor line can run smoothly. Commonly used methods for conveyor belt joints include mechanical joints, cold-bonded joints, and hot-vulcanized joints.
Conveyor belt mechanical joint method: generally refers to the use of belt buckle joints. This joint method is convenient, convenient and economical, but the joints are low in efficiency and easy to damage, which has a certain impact on the service life of conveyor belt products. In PVC and PVG whole-core flame-retardant antistatic conveyor belt joints, generally products below grade 8 belts use this joint method.
Conveyor belt cold bonding head method: using cold bonding adhesive for joints. This joint method is more efficient and economical than mechanical joints, and should have a better joint effect. However, from a practical point of view, because the process conditions are more difficult to grasp, and the quality of the adhesive has a great influence on the joint. So it is not very stable.
Conveyor belt thermal vulcanization joint method: Practice has proved to be the most ideal joint method, which can ensure high joint efficiency, and is also very stable. The joint life is also very long and easy to master. However, there are disadvantages such as troublesome process, high cost, and long joint time.
