Splicing
Splice types for lightweight rubber belts:
– Stepped splice at an angle of 75°, cold and vulcanised
– Finger-overlap-finger (FOF) splice at an angle of 90°
Plain belt material is fabricated to customise the belt to your specifications, for example, cutting to the right length and width.
An important fabrication job is making the belt endless. Belts can be made endless by means of various splicing or lacing methods.
Lightweight rubber belts can also be fitted with accessories such as cleats (also called carriers) and can be embossed with different profiles.
