Due to its thermoplastic-like characteristics, all styles of NOVITANE conveyor belting can be easily and quickly spliced endless, either by heat welding with the use of a Hot Air Gun and NOVITANE Weld Rod or by curing the prepared belt ends in a water cooled vulcanizer.

NOVITANE belting can also be made endless using mechanical fasteners.

HOT AIR WELDING

Hot air welding of NOVITANE conveyor belt is accomplished with the use of a hot air gun (approx. 750-1550 watts) and NOVITANE weld rod. The advantage of this system is that belting can be made endless without having to disassemble a machine as you would with an endless belt. It is also quite economical and easy to use, plus the hot air gun and weld rod can be used to repair our belts. Click here for detailed hot air welding instructions.

VULCANIZED FINGER SPLICE

Vulcanized finger splicing with NOVITANE in a water cooled vulcanizing press is similar to the process used for rubber belting however easier. The advantage to this splice is that it provides an extremely smooth surface. It is also recommended for applications where 100% of the belts operating tension is required.
