Belt End Situations
NOTE
The minimum sag requirement must be met to run
the belt without tension. Review the
ThermoDrive® Belting Conveyor Belting
Installation and Maintenance
or contact Intralox
to determine correct belt length
BEFORE cutting any belt.
New Prepared-end Belt:
New belts should
arrive with two (2) prepared ends. If the belt is
too long, cut away any excess belting and pre-
pare belt ends using instructions here.
New Endless Belt:
New endless belts arrive in a
pre-spliced loop. If ordered correctly, you do
not need to shorten a new belt. If the endless
belt is too long, cut away the excess belting and
prepare belt ends using instructions here.
Existing Belt:
Cut away the damaged or excess
belting, then prepare belt ends using instruc-
tions here.
NOTE
Contact Intralox to order replacement belt sections
for splicing as needed.
Preparation Overview
Once a length of belt is confirmed to run with-
out tension (meets the sag requirement), pre-
pare belt ends for splicing.
Proper preparation is critical for correct drive
bar pitch and contamination-free splicing.
FABRICATION TIP
Instructions for preparing belt ends can differ
by belt series, style, and troughing groove type.
