4. ASSEMBLY
4.1. Dimensions
4.2. Splicing Principals
There are two essential requirements for perfect splicing of conveyor belting; Uniform Pressure and a controlled
Uniform Temperature. Both of these requirements are satisfied in the ALMEX Vulcanizer.
Uniform Pressure:
Full platen size pressure ‘bag’ applies uniform pressure over the entire platen area.
Important: This unique platen requires support over its entire area or permanent distortion of the platen may
occur. Fill any unused portion of the platen area with scrap belting or shims the same thickness as the belting
being cured.
Uniform Temperature:
The heating element is a silicone rubber ‘blanket’ which covers the total platen surface.
4.3. Unpacking
Carefully unpack vulcanizer from the crate and inspect for damage. Any damages or shortages should be
reported to the carrier and / or Shaw-Almex Industries Limited.
