INSTALLATION
1.
On both belt ends a chalk line will be applied for the belt centre line
(the rectangular datum lines, as well as the marking lines of the
splice).
For determining the centre line, 3 centre points at intervals of ~2 m
will be marked.
2.
The fist step of the splice should be in the bottom side and the first
to touch the drive pulley.
3.
4.
Both partial lengths will be put one on top of the other along the
whole splice length. The lower part of the portable heating press is
used as a working table.
For positioning the bottom platens of the press both belt ends will be
folded back.

5.
The rubber covers both of carrying and running sides of both belt
ends will be removed ("stripped off").
In the rubber cover on the carrying side along the inner splice line
marking, cut with a knife held at a 30 angle until it gets down to the
fabric.
The rubber edge of the belt will be removed.
For stripping the rubber cover, continuous strokes with a special
knife with grip tongues are used.
The rubber will be removed down to the fabric. Tearing it off is not
permitted.
For cutting the plies a special ply knife is used. This knife prevents
damage to the ply underneath.
6.
Splice edges of the carrying and pulley side of both belt ends will
be roughened with a wire brush.
7.
8.
Between the lower heating platen and the bottom rubber cover,
Vulcatrix cloth is placed across the whole splice area.
9.
Edge bars will be placed at both sides of the belt and fastened with
edge clamps outside the splice area.
The edge bars will be approximately 1-2 mm thinner than the belt
itself.
10.
Between the lower heating plate and the bottom rubber cover,
Vulcatrix is placed across the whole splicing area. Vulcatrix cloth
should be longer in both longitudinal directions and at least 50 mm
larger than the splice itself.
