Method for the manufacture of reinforced flexible belts

Abstract

Abstract System for the production of steel-wire-reinforced flexible belts consisting at least of an elastomeric or synthetic-resin upper layer, a core in which the steel strands are embedded and a lower layer of such material bonded into a unitary laminate while the reinforcing strands are tensioned; the invention resides in the use of an equalizing press adapted to bond the core to the steel strands prior to the application of the upper and lower layers and the final laminating phase. A supply means for each of the outer layers is provided downstream of the equalizing press and the layer is, in turn, downstream of a further supply system adapted to sandwich the generally planar array of longitudinally extending tension steel strands between layers of the core material.
