HI ROLLER - BELT CONVEYORS 4. APPLICATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
HI ROLLER, MINI ROLLER, LO ROLLER & HI LIFE 4.7. SPLICES
P115506 R3 33
4.7. SPLICES
• Mechanical: Flexco splices are standard on Hi Roller Conveyors. Different
types of Flexco splices are recommended for each application.
• Vulcanized: Hi Roller recommends that a mechanical splice is used during
the first year of operation. The belt should be stretched and stabilized before
a permanent vulcanized splice is installed because of the limited length of the
take-up section of the conveyor.
4.8. SUPPORTS
• Supports must be installed at least every 20’ of the length of the conveyor.
• Support legs or hangers should always be bolted to the trunking vertical or
bottom flanges. Supports should never be welded to the trunking sides.
4.9. GROUNDING
Conveyors should be grounded by a qualified electrician according to the local
codes and regulations.
