AIRPORT FACTSGlobal Customers Relying on Mechanical Belt Fastening Solutions from Flexco:
Quick Installation - A reliable belt splice can be installed in approximately 20 minutes. Vulcanized splices can take hours or days. Quicker installation means less downtime and greater productivity.
Simple Installation - It is impossible to claim that vulcanization offers any advantage over mechanical fasteners in terms of easy installation. Mechanical fasteners can be installed on-site and typically require only one installer with basic technical skills and simple installation tools. Vulcanization is a long, involved process that often requires trained outside contractors who may have to do the job off-site.
Proactive Maintenance - Because a mechanical splice is visible, any wear or deterioration is immediately apparent. Replacement or repairs can be scheduled during brief periods of downtime or at the end of a shift. A deteriorating vulcanized splice, in comparison, is not easily detected. Catastrophic line failure can be the first indication of trouble once adhesion breakdown occurs inside a vulcanized splice.
