Repair Reuse Repeat
In this economy, buying a new belt may not be an option. Depending on the condition of your belt, fixing it with a vulcanized splice may not be an option either. Mechanical fasteners provide a trusted, tested way of splicing — even on worn belts — for less.
See how mechanical splices can extend belt life and save you money.
Both vulcanized and mechanical splices can be effective - under the right conditions. Download this brochure to find out which method may be right for your operation.
See all the ways mechanical splices save you money. Click the reasons below to read more.
- 1. Extend belt life
-
Mechanical fasteners can be used on old, worn, stretched and/or dirty belts that are no longer suitable for vulcanizing. Plus, mechanical splices aren't affected by harsh environmental conditions, like excessive cold or moisture, which can weaken a vulcanized splice.
How You Save: The tens of thousands of dollars you'd spend on belt replacement stay in your pocket.
- 2. Reduce expenditures
-
Mechanical fasteners are so easy to install they can be handled by your on-site crew — and that means no expensive service calls from a professional vulcanizer. Plus, when you add up the cost of materials, labor and hours of downtime, you'll actually spend about 10 times more on a vulcanized splice. Scroll down to see our comparison chart.
How You Save: Every belt repair you make costs less, so your budget goes further.
- 3. Reduce downtime
-
Most mechanical splices can be completed in 60 minutes or less. Vulcanizing, on the other hand, means hours of waiting while your new splice cures — even longer if the vulcanizer can't get to your site right away.
How You Save: Fast installation means less downtime; less downtime means a more profitable operation.
