There are three main types conveyor belt vulcanizing presses. The portable vulcanizing presses are ideal for on-site belt splicing and emergency repairs whereas workshop vulcanizing presses are used in controlled indoor environments for precise splicing. The belt repair vulcanizing presses are designed for spot repairs, puncture repairs, edge repairs, and longitudinal tear repairs.

A vulcanizing press has three essential components. The heating plate heats the belt to the required temperature, pressure system applies the necessary force for bonding, and the temperature control system maintains precise heat levels to ensure splice quality.

Cure time varies depending on belt type and thickness, but it typically ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

The temperature usually falls between 140°C and 160°C (284°F to 320°F), depending on the belt material.

Not all belts are suited for vulcanization. Some may require mechanical fasteners or alternative repair methods, depending on the application and field conditions.

With proper maintenance, a vulcanizing press can operate reliably for over 10 years, making it a long-term investment for your belt maintenance operations.
