Steelcord
belts can only be done hot due to the nature of the splice. The belt is stripped
taking care to leave a layer of rubber around the cords ( to prevent the cords
rusting ) , the bottom rubber is then placed under the splice the cords are
then overlapped.
The spacing between
the cords filled with raw rubber, the top rubber then put in place, and then
the entire splice area is then cured under high pressure and with heat. After
cooling and trimming the belt is ready to run.
