What are the common joint methods for transportation belts?
How much do you know about the joint methods of transportation belts? In fact, there are various ways to connect transportation belts, and common connection methods include the following:
1. Mechanical joint: Mechanical joint is a common and widely used transportation belt joint method, which can be divided into metal mechanical joint and nylon mechanical joint. Metal mechanical joints are usually made of steel plates or nails, fixed at both ends of the conveyor belt by bolts, and have high connection strength. Nylon mechanical joints are made by inserting nylon material at both ends of the conveyor belt and fixing it with bolts, suitable for light load conditions.
2. Hot adhesive joint: A hot adhesive joint is a joint method that uses hot melt adhesive to bond the two ends of a conveyor belt, and then performs hot pressing at high temperatures to ensure even and firm connection of the conveyor belt. Hot adhesive joints are suitable for connecting light and medium-sized conveyor belts.
3. Cold bonding joint: Cold bonding joint is a joint method that uses special adhesive to bond the two ends of the transport belt together, and after curing, it is connected. Cold adhesive joints are suitable for some conveyor belt materials that cannot be bonded with hot adhesive, such as general rubber.
4. Mechanical flange joint: A mechanical flange joint is a joint method where one end of the conveyor belt is flipped, the other end of the conveyor belt is inserted into the flipped part, and then connected together by fixing screws. Mechanical flanged joints focus on the firmness and stability of the connection.
5. Sewing joint: Sewing joint is the process of sewing the two ends of the conveyor belt, usually using a sewing machine to form a joint for the conveyor belt. Seam joints are suitable for wider conveyor belts and can maintain even connections.
Zaozhuang Jinfulex Rubber and Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer of conveyor belts, has summarized several methods of conveyor belt joints. In fact, the above introduction is a common method of conveyor belt joint. According to different application scenarios and requirements, selecting the appropriate joint method can ensure that the connection of the conveyor belt is firm and stable, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the conveying system. The professional manufacturer of transportation belts reminds everyone to consult the manufacturer for professional issues and solutions.
