Application Situation

Customer contacted us for the emergency repair of the conveyor belt. We offered to do the repair the same day in the afternoon, so production could start again next morning.

Application Method

First we peeled off (delaminated) the first layer of the belt in order to install belt fasteners in the way then aren't above the belt level. Then we installed belt fasteners, abraded them with the grinder and applied Belzona 2911 and Belzona 2311.

Belzona Facts

Customer was pessimistic about possibility of saving this belt and he was considering the replacement of the belt as the only alternative, which would be expensive and time consuming (minimal one additional production day would be lost). We did the repair for just a fraction of replacement price and with minimal production loss.
