Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate the press for steel cord-reinforced conveyor belt production.This unit applies to an experienced technician working alone or as part of a team.The unit principally refers to how intermittent press operations consolidate the rubber belt covers and the steel cord internal reinforcement fed from the creel rack operational unit.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
