CONVEYOR BELT SPLICING

Mechanical lacing - C&R Resources stocks mechanical lacing and installation tools as a service to many of our customers. We can assist in selecting the best style and size fastener and provide installation instructions. Belts can be ordered to the exact length with hinge fasteners installed ready for a connecting pin.

Where many rivet fasteners are being installed, we offer a rivet driver tool that is fast and less tiring to the installer than pounding rivets. Consequently, there is less chance of injury and happier employees.

Vulcanized splice- This method is usually considered the most ideal and can be shop installed in new belts but the user most be prepared to disassemble the conveyor to install the belt. When a conveyor can not be disassembled or it is not cost effective, on-site vulcanized splicing by a belt installation contractor is available. Contact C&R Resources by email or phone 509-460-2425 regarding shop or field vulcanizing service.

Criteria For Selecting an On-Site Belt Contractor

A professional belt installation contractor sells belt and conveyor accessories as a means of controlling the overall quality of his primary business which is providing a service that gives his customers the best life possible from their conveying equipment.

The job will be planned to assure that the resources necessary will arrive at the scheduled time and the belt mechanics will then string and splice the belt with minimum interference and down time at the facility.

The professional belt contractor will have well maintained, self contained service trucks equipped with generators, air compressors, lifting and rigging tools, all necessary hand tools and a variety of belt presses. The belt mechanics will be trained in conveyor principles as well as the art of belt vulcanizing in any environment.  Further, they will be current in all required safety training.
