Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to splice solid woven conveyor belts onsite, in a workshop or at an offsite repair facility. This unit applies to an experienced technician working alone or as part of a team.The unit principally refers to solid woven conveyor belts that can be based on synthetic rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other polymers. They may be general purpose or specialised and be of various weights and widths.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan work requirements
  • 1.1 Identify and check requirements including direction of travel from job specifications
  • 1.2 Identify equipment and processes required for production from job specifications
  • 1.3 Identify key variables that may affect quality of splice
  • 1.4 Perform pre-operational checks including checking for and controlling hazards
  • 1.5 Design time-efficient and economical work plans that achieve quality standards while minimising downtime and materials wastage
  • 1.6 Identify waste management strategies to collect excess, discarded or nonconforming materials to be disposed of, recycled or reprocessed according to workplace procedures
2. Prepare solid woven splice
  • 2.1 Isolate equipment and conveyor systems to prepare for splicing
  • 2.2 Restrain belt or belt ends to ensure movement does not occur during splice
  • 2.3 Mark out splice according to specifications
  • 2.4 Cut belt ends to meet measurements and angles for fingers, shapes or patterns from job specifications
  • 2.5 Strip and remove belt covers and carcass material according to equipment instructions
  • 2.6 Prepare and finish belt surfaces in readiness for bonding
  • 2.7 Lay-up splice according to job specifications
  • 2.8 Place conveyor belt identification (brand) on belt according to requirements
3. Check solid woven splice
  • 3.1 Vulcanise solid woven conveyor belt to meet specifications
  • 3.2 Conduct post-vulcanisation quality checks on finished splice
  • 3.3 Inform customer when belt is ready for use, or prepare belt for storage or delivery, according to job specifications
4. Perform post-splicing tasks
  • 4.1 Clean, inspect and store tools and equipment used according to equipment instructions and workplace procedures
  • 4.2 Clean equipment and work area according to equipment instructions and workplace procedures
  • 4.3 Dispose of waste or recycle according to workplace procedures
  • 4.4 Accurately complete workplace documentation
5. Anticipate and solve process control variances
  • 5.1 Recognise existing or potential process control variances and their causes
