Conveyor Belt Repair Services – Oliver Rubber LLP

In industries where conveyor belts are the backbone of material handling, unexpected breakdowns or damage can bring operations to a sudden halt. At Oliver Rubber LLP, we offer trusted Conveyor Belt Repair Services using high-performance products like OM-2000 Cold Vulcanizing Adhesive—a superior bonding solution for effective and long-lasting conveyor belt jointing and repair.

Whether it’s a minor tear, joint failure, or surface damage, our expertise ensures your belts are up and running with minimum downtime. Let’s explore how conveyor belts can be effectively repaired, common issues that occur, and how to correct them.

How to Repair a Torn Conveyor Belt?

A torn conveyor belt doesn’t always need replacement. Efficient repair processes, such as cold vulcanization, offer a quick and cost-effective solution. Here’s how we approach it at Oliver Rubber:

1. Clean the damaged area: Use a belt cleaner to remove dirt, oils, and other contaminants. This acts as a surface activator to improve adhesive bonding.

2. Trim and shape the tear: Ensure the edges of the torn area are smooth and properly aligned.

3. Apply OM-2000 Cold Vulcanizing Adhesive: This two-part adhesive, when mixed with AR hardener, offers high bonding strength. It can join rubber to rubber, rubber to metal, metal to fabric, and rubber to fabric surfaces.

4. Patch application: Apply a compatible repair patch or strip and press firmly. Thanks to the high viscosity of OM-2000, no additional pressure or heat is needed for bonding.

5. Curing time: Let the adhesive cure at room temperature (up to 60°C). The bond becomes durable and resistant to wear, moisture, and corrosion.

What Is the Common Problem of a Belt Conveyor?

Many industries face recurring issues with their conveyor systems. Some of the common problems of a belt conveyor include:

• Mistracking: When the belt drifts away from the track, it can cause uneven wear or even tears.

• Slippage: Caused by worn pulleys or inadequate tension, leading to inefficiencies.

• Splice failure: Poorly executed splicing can lead to joint separation.

• Tears and cracks: Especially along edges or due to material impact.

• Material build-up: On pulleys and rollers, disrupting motion.

Timely Conveyor Belt Repair and using the right products like OM-2000 can mitigate these issues and prolong the belt’s lifespan.

How to Correct a Conveyor Belt?

Correcting conveyor belt issues requires identifying the root cause and applying the appropriate solution:

• Mistracking: Install tracking rollers, ensure proper pulley alignment, and check load distribution.

• Slippage: Tighten the belt or replace the pulley lagging. Use Pulley Lagging Rubber Sheets with a diamond pattern for improved grip.

• Damaged Splice: Remove the faulty section and re-joint the belt using cold vulcanization.

• Tears and Wear: Apply repair patches with OM-2000 adhesive, ensuring a secure seal that withstands continuous motion.

Oliver Rubber offers both Conveyor Belt Repair and Conveyor Belt Service kits to help you carry out these fixes efficiently.

Can a Rubber Belt Be Repaired?

Yes, a rubber conveyor belt can absolutely be repaired—especially with advanced solutions like OM-2000 Cold Vulcanizing Adhesive. Unlike hot vulcanization, which requires specialized equipment and high temperature, cold vulcanizing can be performed on-site at room temperature.

OM-2000 offers several benefits:

• Bonds strongly with rubber, metal, and fabric.

• Resistant to corrosion and weather.

• Quick curing time.

• No need for external pressure or heat.

This makes it ideal for emergency repair, longitudinal-cut repair, and belt jointing in normal working environments.

Conveyor Repair Patches and Strips

Conveyor repair patches and strips are essential tools in the maintenance of damaged belts. At Oliver Rubber LLP, we provide high-quality repair materials that are compatible with our OM-2000 cold vulcanizing system.

Repair patches and strips are used for:

• Fixing surface wear or punctures.

• Strengthening weakened areas.

• Sealing longitudinal tears.

To apply:

1. Cut the patch or strip to size.

2. Clean the bonding surface thoroughly.

3. Apply OM-2000 adhesive mixed with AR hardener.

4. Firmly press the patch onto the belt and let it cure.

These patches are flexible, abrasion-resistant, and capable of withstanding heavy-duty usage across industries like mining, cement, and manufacturing.
