Belt Splicing System v.2.0
Symptom & Possible Causes Action to Take
Splice has visible bubbles or pits continued from previous page
Dirt or residue on belt ends 1. Clean belt ends with a food-safe detergent (without ammonia or bleach).
2. Sanitize and dry ends with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free rag.
3. Avoid direct hand contact within 2 drive bars of prepared end.
Plastic residue on Wand during splice
Remove residue before and after every splice. See Allow Heat Wand to Pre-heat on page 3-5.
Clamping Fixture slammed shut for
cooling
Maintain control of the Crank Handle when closing the Clamping Fixture for splice cooling.
Allowing Grooved Decks to slam closed causes molten splash and possible misalignment.
Clamping Fixture not properly closing • Clear any debris between Grooved Decks.
• Clamping Fixture damaged. See Table of Equipment/Facility Problems on page 10-2.
Belt tension too high 1. Clamp belt to conveyor frame near Clamping Fixture to eliminate pull on belt ends.
2. Adjust conveyor components to minimize tension.
Splice has visible cracks
Cut the faulty splice from the belt and repeat the splicing procedures with careful attention to the following items.
Wrong Cut Guide used Repeat belt end preparation using the blue S8026 Cut Guide for 26 mm pitch belt or red S8050
Cut Guide for 50 mm pitch belt.
Cut technique or alignment problem • Make several identical, scoring cuts, NOT one deep cut.
• Hold blade vertically against Cut Guide Edge for entire cut.
• Engage drive bars in Cut Guide or Grooved Deck before securing.
• Fully secure belt to Clamping Fixture.
For S8126 belts, see S8126 BELT SPECIFICS on page 14-1.
Contact with hot Heat Wand or Stand will cause skin burns. Using heat-resis-
tant gloves and sleeves is recommended.
Place the Wand Stand on a hard, heat-resistant surface (NOT a belt) during
pre-heat.
