In the industrial sector, heavy machinery is essential for the smooth running of daily operations. Among the most important components of many of these machines, conveyor belts play a key role in the movement of materials. To ensure the performance and durability of these belts, vulcanised splices are one of the best solutions.
At Espirales CHÍA, we are specialists in the maintenance and repair of conveyor belts, and one of the services most requested by our customers is vulcanised splices. These splices are crucial to ensure that the belts work properly, providing a strong and durable joint between the ends of the belt.
What are vulcanised belt splices?
Vulcanised splicing is a conveyor belt joining process that uses heat and pressure techniques to fuse the belt ends together, ensuring a solid and continuous connection. There are two main types of vulcanised splices: hot splicing and cold splicing, each of which is used according to the needs and characteristics of the machinery.
- Hot vulcanised splices: This type of splice is carried out by a process using heat and pressure through a vulcanising press. During this procedure, the belt ends are exposed to elevated temperatures, allowing the material to fuse together and become one piece. Hot splicing is known for its high strength and durability, making it the preferred choice for belts operating in demanding conditions.
- Cold vulcanised splices: Cold splicing, on the other hand, is made using special chemicals that allow the belt ends to be joined together without the need for heat. This type of splice is ideal for situations where heat equipment is not available or when the belt is exposed to temperatures too high for a hot process. Although this splice may be less robust than the heat splice, it is a valid option for less rigorous conditions.
Customised maintenance for vulcanised splices
At Espirales CHÍA, we understand that each customer has specific needs, both in terms of machinery and vulcanised splices. That is why we offer a customised maintenance service that adapts to the requirements of each project and machinery.
Our service includes a thorough assessment of the condition of existing conveyor belts and splices. Our experts carry out a detailed diagnosis that allows us to identify any wear or damage to the splices, as well as possible belt failures. With this information, we can offer the most appropriate solution, either by repairing existing splices or installing new vulcanised splices.
In addition, we offer a preventive maintenance service that is tailored to the belt type and operating conditions. Our team of trained technicians ensures that belts are always in perfect condition, minimising the risk of failure and maximising the efficiency of operations.
Benefits of customised vulcanised splice maintenance
Customised maintenance of vulcanised splices not only helps to extend the life of your belts, but also contributes to improving the overall productivity of your machinery. Here are some of the key benefits we offer with our specialised service:
- Reduced downtime: By performing preventive maintenance and detecting problems early, we prevent belts from stopping unexpectedly, significantly reducing downtime in operations.
- Increased belt durability: Proper use of vulcanised splices ensures that conveyor belts run efficiently for longer. This translates into less need for belt replacement and repair, which reduces long-term operating costs.
- Optimised productivity: Proper maintenance ensures that belts operate without interruption, resulting in a more efficient workflow and increased productivity in industrial operations.
- Tailored attention to each customer: At Espirales CHÍA, we not only provide technical solutions, but we also offer a personalised service that adapts to the specific needs of each customer, directly attending to the particularities of each machinery and conveyor belt.
