Conveyor belt systems are a critical part of production and logistics processes. Even in durable systems, wear and damage can occur from time to time. In these cases, a quick and effective repair is needed to keep production running. At Airform, we offer a range of belt repair products for emergencies.
Speed and reliability in belt repair
A stopped conveyor belt on a production line can cause unexpected costs and disruption to production. A quick and reliable repair method is therefore important when a belt is damaged.
Fix'n Go®, Permaflex and the temporary repair patch are our products for this need. The temporary repair patch keeps the belt running for a short time, while Fix'n Go and Permaflex are used to repair the damaged area.
Temporary repair patch
The temporary repair patch is a practical, economical option for temporary repairs. It is easy to apply and saves time; it repairs the belt temporarily and allows time for a permanent repair.
Fix'n Go® repair patch
The Fix'n Go® repair patch is used when an emergency repair is required. The patch quickly repairs damage on the belt and helps production continue. Because Fix'n Go is easy to apply, the repair does not require a long stoppage.
Permaflex repair compound
Permaflex was developed to adapt to the different operating conditions of conveyor belts. Its flexible, durable structure allows repairs to be made without damaging the structure of the belt.
Criteria for selecting a belt repair product
- Durability: The durability of the product affects the long-term performance of the belt. High-strength products are particularly important in heavy industry applications, where the belt runs under constant tension.
- Ease of application: Application time is directly related to production downtime. Quick-drying, easy-to-apply products get the belt running again in a short time. Fix'n Go®, with its quick installation, is an example.
- Suitability for the working environment: The product must suit the ambient conditions. This includes temperature resistance and chemical resistance. Permaflex is designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh chemical environments.
- Economic efficiency: To lower long-term costs, the product must be both economical and effective. The temporary repair patch allows the belt to keep running temporarily and reduces production interruptions.
- Safety standards: Compliance with the relevant safety standards is important for operator and product safety. FDA approval or antistatic properties are assessed under this heading.
