Connection methods
A welded conveyor belt assembly is always preferable, as this is our strongest assembly method. Welded connections are also very popular with our customers because this solution can be quickly and easily installed on-site by the customer themselves.
For applications that do not allow the installation of a welded band or where on-site assembly with welding equipment is not possible, a band with a mechanical connection can be used advantageously.
Offset finger connection
Like a single finger joint. Fingers are mounted at the ends of the conveyor belt and then welded together under pressure and heat. We recommend an overlapping finger joint, as it is the strongest and most flexible joint. A double finger joint can be used on all our two- and three-layer conveyor belts.
Simple finger connection
In a simple finger splice, the fingers of the tape are joined at the ends of the transfer tape, which are then welded under pressure and heat. Single-finger splicing is used only with our single-layer tapes and special designs, ensuring maximum flexibility without any height differences in the area of the tape joint.
flat hook
In this mechanical assembly, a flat metal clip is pressed into the ends of the belt, which is then sealed with a metal slot. This type of joint is our second strongest and ensures high durability and tensile strength. The joint can be milled so that the clip is perfectly flush with the surface of the conveyor belt.
round hook
In this mechanical assembly, a round metal clip is inserted into the ends of the conveyor belt, which is then sealed with a metal slot. This type of connection is typically used for small-diameter conveyor belts to ensure efficient material transfer. It can be milled so that the clip is perfectly flush with the belt surface.
Oblique overlap
For rubber and felt conveyor belts, we use an adhesive bond because these belts are not thermoplastic and therefore cannot be melted together. With this type of bond, the belt is beveled, and then the belt sections are joined using glue and pressure. An adhesive bevel bond can be used for all our belt types.
plate connector
In a mechanical connection, a metal clamp is pressed into the ends of the conveyor belt, which is then slotted with a metal plate. This can be used for heavier belt types and large roller diameters. We also have the option of milling the joint so that the clamp sits completely flat against the surface of the belt.
Overlapped connection
In an overlapping arrangement, the ends of the conveyor belt are divided into layers and overlapped, and finally welded together under pressure and heat. An overlapping joint can be advantageous when the size of the joint area is critical. This type of joint can be used on all our two- and three-layer conveyor belts.
spiral connection
To create a mechanical assembly, melt a plastic zipper into the ends of the belt, which is then sealed with a plastic connector. This type of connection is particularly suitable for conveyor belts with small roller diameters, ensuring efficient material transfer. A zippered joint can be used with all our belt types.
