Conveyor belt repair
Gouges, rips, and worn top covers on conveyor belts let cargo escape and spread until the belt is scrapped or the line stops.
The need for conveyor belt repair
BHI Coatings performs conveyor belt repair across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Gouges, rips, and worn top covers spill cargo along the run and spread fines under the structure. A small tear does not stay small. It migrates until the carcass is exposed and the belt has to be scrapped. A full belt replacement or a vulcanized splice can stop a production line for a shift or more. In aggregate-handling, mining, and port facilities, belt damage is one of the most frequent maintenance events and one of the costliest when the fix requires a full belt change.
How BHI Coatings does conveyor belt repair
We rebuild the damaged area cold with a flexible repair elastomer that bonds to the existing rubber. The crew grinds out the gouge or rip, removes loose cover and contamination down to sound carcass, then builds the area back to profile with Belzona 2311 or a matched elastomer. No hot vulcanizing press, no splice, and the repair cures at ambient temperature. It works on the run: the belt stays threaded through the conveyor frame and never has to come off. Edge damage and worn skirt-seal contact areas get the same treatment, rebuilt to profile so the skirt seals properly and the spillage stops.
The belt goes back to work with no vulcanized splice and no full replacement. Cargo keeps moving, and the worn top cover is a sealed running surface again. Repair time is typically a fraction of a belt change, and the cold-cure approach eliminates the fire-permit and hot-work risks that come with a vulcanized splice.
