Our fully equipped mobile service covers Rotherham and the wider region.
What Is Conveyor Belt Vulcanising?
Vulcanising is the process of joining conveyor belt ends together using heat and pressure to create a permanent, seamless splice. This produces the strongest possible joint, restoring the belt to near-original strength. Vulcanised splices are smoother, longer-lasting and more hygienic than mechanical fastener joints, making them the preferred choice for food processing, pharmaceutical and precision applications.
Hot & Cold Vulcanising in Rotherham
We offer both hot vulcanising and cold vulcanising services across Rotherham. Hot vulcanising uses a portable press to apply controlled heat and pressure, creating the strongest possible bond. Cold vulcanising uses specialist adhesives and is ideal for emergency repairs and situations where hot splicing is not practical. Our engineers assess each situation and recommend the most appropriate method.

Frequently Asked Questions — On-Site Vulcanising in Rotherham
How long does on-site vulcanising take?
A typical hot vulcanised splice takes 2-4 hours depending on belt type and width. Cold vulcanising is faster, typically 1-2 hours plus curing time. We work efficiently to minimise your downtime and can often complete the work in a single visit.
Is vulcanising better than mechanical fasteners?
Vulcanised splices are generally stronger and longer-lasting than mechanical fasteners. They create a smooth, seamless joint ideal for food processing and applications where belt tracking is critical. However, mechanical fasteners have their place for quick emergency repairs and belts that need frequent removal. As a Flexco Gold Partner, we are experts in both methods.
