About the role
Together with your coworkers, you will be responsible for preparing and finishing rubber conveyor belts. These will then be installed at the customer’s industrial site by other team members.
You’ll receive a work order from the scheduling department. It lists the required specifications for the conveyor belt and how urgent the job is.
You’ll retrieve the correct conveyor belt from our warehouse (width, thickness, type, strength, etc.) using a forklift and/or an overhead crane.
You cut it to the correct size and update the inventory.
You manually prepare the end of the conveyor belt by gradually separating the layers. This is quite complicated and requires both finesse and strength. To do this, you’ll often be on your knees so you can fold the belt in half and cut it to exactly the right depth.
In some places, you’ll need to roughen the belt (with a grinding wheel) and apply adhesive.
Afterward, you install the necessary guides or carriers and ensure they are vulcanized onto the belt. To do this, you place metal molds on top of each guide, which are then heated by machine so that the guides fuse securely to the belt.
Once the conveyor belt is ready, it is packaged and prepared for shipment or for the field technician.
We have specialized machines and processes for each of these steps, and you’ll become familiar with all of them. After all, you’ll be processing a conveyor belt entirely on your own from start to finish.
