Attention :
White HDPE runners for food industry. C-shape stainless steel rail. Special runners following our customers schemes. Consult us.
Take care of the HDPE longitudinal dilatation : 2 mm per metre for a 10C increase in temperature.
These runners can be bent without any special tool to be fixed on curved conveyors, thanks to their flexibility. 2 standard sizes for 12 mm round belts : 25 x 16 mm and 20 x 20 mm. Recommended belts : POLY/FLEX or any other frosted belt.

welding process
Plug the M50 or M51 welding iron in. As our welding iron includes a thermostat, you should plug the iron in at least 8 minutes before welding. Cut both ends of the belt, in a sharp 90 angle, with S135 graduated cutter.
Insert the ends of the belt into the appropriate clamp (J50 or J60), allowing 5 mm of each end to protrude into the inside (If the belt to weld is a DEL/ROC, strongly tighten the top screws of the clamp).
Slide the blade in between both ends of the belt and make sure that the blade bears on the whole surface to weld. Tighten slightly and leave the ends melt. Wait until you get a good bead of melted material on each side.
Open the clamp,quickly remove the welding iron and re-close at once, tightening accordingly to the cross section of the belt (the bigger the belt, the more tightened the clamp). Maintain the clamp close using the side screw and let the belt cool (which should take between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on the size of the belt). If you do weld a DEL/ROC belt, this step will have to be handled even faster.

welding tools
and V belts
Clean the welding point. Check the alignment of the welding point out, as well as its homogeneity (no bubble of air) and solidity (by bending it). Fit the belt on the machine. NB: Always use a clean and very hot welding iron. Both ends of the belt to weld should be perfectly clean as well.
CLEAN THE BLADE OF THE WELDING IRON IMMEDIATELY. M51 welding iron : Wipe the blade with a clean 100% cotton cloth. Fer M50 : Remove most of the melted material with the blade of a knife (without scraping the iron), and wipe the rest out with a clean 100% cotton cloth. Do not use any cloth that may contain synthetic materials, which would melt in contact with the blade of the welding iron, and then contaminate the welding iron.
For V belts only : If you use a J25 welding clamp, cut both ends of the belt with a 45 angle, using our S135 cutter. Insert the ends of the belt into the J25 clamp, allowing 5 mm of each end to protrude into the inside . The two dies of our J25 welding are not in the same horizontal line (1 mm difference for small belts, 2 mm for bigger belts), to compensate for the slippage of the belts' ends due to melting when brought together for welding. The exerted pressure on the handles during the melting will bring both ends back in the same alignment.

OVERLAP welding
Welding that overlaps both ends of the belt. Can be adapted to any MAFDEL belt : ROUND belts. V belts, cogged or not, with or without a coating, ridge-top and above all reinforced.

OVERLAP welding process
Cut the belt 70 mm longer than its theorical length. Put the top end of the belt into the corresponding die of the clamp and close it. Read the X measure at the right of the reference pin, on the small side ruler.
When the M150 iron is warm enough, insert it between both ends of the belt.
Tighten little by little the side screw, until the previously noted X measure gets to the left of the reference pin .
Loosen the side screw with your right hand, keeping the clamp closed with your left hand. Then, quickly, open the clamp, remove the welding iron, and close the clamp again. Both fused ends will get in contact and weld.
Keep the clamp closed with the side screw, and let the belt cool 5 to 10 mn. The right side of the reference pin should then show the X measure on the small ruler.

A V belt is driven by its sides. The belt must come off its pulley by 1mm, so that the product conveyed may not touch the pulley.
A round belt is driven by a round-groove pulley. The diameter of this round groove should be 1mm greater than the diameter of the belt for smaller round belts, and 2mm greater for round belts from diam. 12 mm on. d < 12 mm d > 12 mm = D = d + 1 mm D = d + 2 mm
If the belt runs in wet or greasy conditions, we recommend that the round belt be driven by a V-groove pulley. It will substantially improve the efficiency of the driving and will prevent the belt from slipping.

The diameter of the round groove should be 1 to 2 mm greater than the diameter of the belt.
V belts slip on their small base. The V groove of the runner should be 1 mm wider than the belt. This will prevent the V belt from being blocked into its runner.
We recommend that the extremities of the runner be chamfered. This avoids any risk of fits and starts as the belt arrives on its runner. This recommendation is even more important if your belt is cogged.
parallel belts
For belts mounted in parallel, it is strongly recommended that the return pulleys run independently.This compensates for differences in linear speed between the belts, thus avoiding abnormal tension which might cause jerky operation.
Our reinforced belts are welded in the same way as the other non-reinforced belts, WITHOUT REMOVING THE REINFORCEMENT. This avoids all the problems associated with drilling. Our special reinforcement does not fuse at the welding temperature of our thermostated irons (260C). There is therefore no danger of contaminating the weld.

choosing a belt
To choose the right belt, you need to know the characteristics of the conveyor on which it will run, its working conditions and the product it will convey.
CONVEYOR length of the conveyor diameter of the pulleys type of support length of the tensioning system number of belts inclination PRODUCT TRANSPORTED maximum transported weight nature of the product spreading of the weight along the conveyor temperature of the product WORKING CONDITIONS continuous or stop-and-go driving accumulation other efforts, pressure, etc. room temperature

round or V belt
Into the selected category, choose the quality of belt whose general caracteristics, such as resistance, hardness, friction coefficient, stretch, operating temperature... are the closest to the ones your are looking for. Exemples : In case of accumulation of the products transported on the belt, choose the quality with the lowest friction coefficient. To convey heavy loads, choose the strongest and less stretchy quality. NB: The stretch of low-hardness belts (85 and 90 shA), such as SOUPLEX, POLY/FLEX and DEL/FLEX, allows you to mount them with pretension (shortened of a length that corresponds to the elongation that the belt would need to work properly), and in some cases to avoid the using of a tensioning system. The mounting of the hardest belts (95 and 100 shA) and/or reinforced belts requires the using of a tensioning system or tensioning tools (page 34).

Both selected belts could easily convey this load of 100 kgs. Nevertheless, the H16 17 x 11 mm V belt requires much bigger pulleys than the 90 mm of the described conveyor. On the other hand, the reinforced and cogged 17 x 11 mm SOUPLEX can bend around pulleys down to 85 mm diameter. The most apropriate belt for this application is our reinforced and cogged 17x11mm SOUPLEX, mounted with 1% pretension. 43

We strongly recommend to consider these tensions while mounting the belts on the machine, for the conveyor to work properly. 44
