Joint Methods of Conveyor Belt

The most common joint methods of conveyor belt are mechanical joint, cold bonding joint and heat vulcanization joint. Here PK Machinery will discuss three different joint methods with you.

1.Mechanical joint

This joint method is to use belt fastener to connect belt. The most obvious advantages are convenient and economical. But this method has lower efficiency and it’s very easy to damage and reduce lifespan of conveyor belt. To connect PVC or PVG anti-flaming and anti-static belt, it’s very universal to adopt this kind of method if the conveyor belt grade is less than grade 8.

2. Cold bonding joint

This joint method adopts binding agent to connect belt. It is with higher efficiency compared with mechanical joint. What’s more, it can save investment cost. But in fact, due to the uncontrollable technological conditions and quality of binding agent, this kind of method is not very stable.

3.Heat vulcanization joint

It has been found that this joint method is the most ideal way to connect belt. It can not only   guarantee the joint efficiency and stability, but also can be easy to master and prolong lifespan  of belt. But it also has disadvantages of troublesome technology, high cost, long joint operation time, etc.
