Why Does Conveyor Belting Joint Crack

Everyone knows that the conveyor belt can not be used when it is brought over. It can only be used after being connected into an endless belt. However, some people will crack or disconnect the conveyor belt soon after use, and it usually appears in the joint part. Why does this happen? Because the joint strength of the conveyor belt is usually weaker than the belt body, at the same time, the joint strength of different joint methods is also different.General mechanical joints have low joint strength, which can only reach 40%~50% of the belt strength, while cold glue is slightly better, and the joint strength can reach 60%~70%. The best is hot melt joints. The strength can reach 80%~90%. (PVC and PU conveyor belts cannot use cold glue). In order to achieve the best joint strength, it is generally used to make the endless belt by hot fusion, but because it is directly made into the endless belt, sometimes it is not so convenient during installation. Some equipment may not be installed. In this case, many people will choose to use mechanical joints, which is easy to install. So choose the right connection method.
