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 methods.

Synthetic Belts can also be fitted with accessories such as cleats (also called carriers), ropes and corrugated sidewalls.

Splicing

All open length belts will need to be secured at either end to complete the loop. Belts can be made endless by means of various splicing methods.

The splice is generally considered to be the weakest point along the belt’s length and is most susceptible to damage.

Belts are generally made endless with one of the following splice types:

  • Finger splice
  • Finger-overlap-finger splice
  • Stepped splice
  • Skived splice
