CONVEYOR BELTS

When using a conveyor system to move materials, the conveyor belts themselves play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly. However, wear and tear are inevitable, and when conveyor belts encounter issues like rips or other damage, it's essential to address them promptly to minimise downtime and maintain productivity. 

As a trusted provider of modular conveyor belt systems, MCL offers comprehensive solutions for all your material handling needs, and that includes the facilitation of repair and replacement services via our extensive network of supply partners. 

We can also help you stay on top of wear and tear with our regular maintenance and check-up services, to ensure your conveyor systems are always operating efficiently, and to help you avoid emergencies in the future. For modular belt types, we always recommend keeping at least a metre of spare belt material to deal with any urgent issues as fast as possible.

What to do when a conveyor belt rips

A conveyor belt rip can bring your operations to a halt when it’s most inconvenient, disrupting workflow and potentially causing costly bottlenecks in production or delays in shipping. 

When faced with a torn or damaged conveyor belt, quick action is necessary to get your system back on track. Our team of experts is equipped to handle conveyor belt repairs swiftly and effectively. 

Whether it's a minor tear or a significant breakage, we have the knowledge and tools to assess the damage and implement an appropriate repair solution to get you back up and running ASAP.

Finding the right conveyor belt replacement

When repair isn't feasible, finding the right conveyor belt replacement becomes an important consideration. With a wide range of options available, selecting the perfect replacement belt can be challenging. At MCL, we offer a diverse selection of conveyor belts, including various materials, sizes and configurations, to suit your specific application. 

Replacing a belt entirely can also be a great chance to improve your system: It’s possible that a different material will perform better and even help you avoid the same damage in the future. Our experienced team can guide you through the selection process, so that you choose the ideal replacement belt for quick installation, optimal performance and longevity.

Common conveyor belt repair options

When it comes to conveyor belt repair, the best fix depends on the specifics of the damage. Different issues require different solutions, and at MCL, we offer a range of repair options tailored to meet your needs.

  • Basic Rips
  • Vulcanising
  • Link replacement
  • Whole belt replacements

Basic Rips

For minor tears and damages, basic repair techniques may suffice. Our skilled technicians can patch up small rips and tears using specialised tools and materials, restoring the integrity of the conveyor belt and preventing further deterioration.

Vulcanising

Vulcanising is a more extensive repair process suitable for larger tears. This method involves bonding a new section of belt to the damaged area using heat and pressure, resulting in a seamless addition that restores the belt's strength and durability.

Link replacement

We also repair and replace modular belt conveyors. If you need us to replace a small section of a plastic modular belt for example, we can accommodate. You can count on us to swiftly address wear and tear, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless integration of new components.

Whole belt replacements

In some cases, repairing a belt may not be viable if the damage is extensive or the belt has reached the end of its lifespan. In these instances, belt replacement is the most practical solution.
