Description
Belt builders make transmission and conveyor belts by building up plies of rubberised fabric. They cut the ply to requird length with scissors and bond plies together with rollers and stitchers. Belt builders insert the finished belt between the pressure rollers. They measure the finished belt to check if it conforms to specifications.
