Belt Splicing

Belt Splicing Specialists

New conveyor belts don’t stretch to fit on the conveyor system like a rubber band in one continuous loop. They must be spooled around the conveyor system and properly spliced by a qualified journeyman or technician* to ensure an exact, long-lasting fit. Our belt splicing products are widely used in industries like mining (including underground systems, rock belts, and above-ground aggregate handling), the sand and gravel industry, and foundries. The Blair Rubber product line also meets MSHA standards.
