What Should You Do When Your Conveyor Belt Broken( A small area)?

   Broken idler rolls or jagged chunks of stone, coal, salt, and other materials can take a heavy toll on a conveyor system. If jagged-edged materials catch on your conveyor’s support structure, rips, slits, or tears can occur on the belt to the point the system must be shut down and the belt repaired.

   When belt damage occurs, it is critical to avoid the lengthy downtime and expensive repairs normally associated with returning conveyors to service after surprise belt rips. Whether the trouble is minor or major – a lengthwise rip, a small puncture, a soft spot or even a hole – there are rip repair methods that will temporarily preserve the integrity of the damaged belt and get it back in operation with minimal downtime.

  Always remember that when a transverse tear extends in from the belt edges 25% or more across the width of the belt, the damaged area should be cut out and a new splice installed.

   The use of mechanical rip repair fasteners is often a cost-effective solution to lengthwise rips and worn spots in heavy-duty belts.

   Belt fasteners offer the advantages of:

   Faster installation

   Lower cost

  Virtually no belt waste

  Immediate installation by on-site workers using simple tools
