Conveyor belt splicing is the process of connecting two conveyor belts together. Usually, this is done to elongate the original conveyor belt or repair a torn or damaged conveyor belt. Because many industries use conveyor systems, there are many types of conveyor belts and components. In order to correctly splice belts, it is necessary to consider the type of belt, the speed of the conveyor system, the materials conveyed on the belt, and the environment of the conveyor belt.

If the splicing is incorrect, the integrity of the belt and the entire conveyor system will be affected. The longer the duration of the joint, the shorter the downtime of the conveyor system. In manufacturing, production, and mining environments, downtime may result in economic losses. Incorrect slicing may also cause the material carried by the belt to fall off and result in problems and loss of profits.

Create mechanical joints by using metal hinges or plates. This method requires a mechanical fastener system and some type of hammer or electric rivet driver to install the fasteners. Mechanical splicing is a universal solution as it can be completed in many different environments and on many types of belts. It is typically used in applications where belts experience significant wear or require continuous expansion, or on belts in dirty, high humidity environments or narrow spaces. These applications include mining, quarrying, and other heavy-duty applications.

Sulfurization is achieved through the use of heat and/or chemicals to create joints. This splicing mode is more complex and requires special tools, professional knowledge, as well as a clean, temperature and humidity controlled environment. However, if completed correctly, this type of joint is smoother and typically more durable than mechanical joints. There are two types of vulcanization: hot and cold. Hot vulcanization produces joints by using a vulcanization press to apply heat and pressure. Cold vulcanization involves the use of chemicals that bond two belts together to create a joint. Two types of vulcanization require more time and preparation than mechanical joints. Moreover, only certain belts used in certain types of environments can be vulcanized. Because the belt must be disassembled and removed from the conveyor system,
