Abstract

A conveyor belt is a material transfer equipment that uses a belt to move materials. The role of conveyor belts in industry is very important, if damaged it can result in the cessation of the production process which is detrimental to the company. To avoid damage, in-depth handling is needed by conducting research on the strength of the joints on the conveyor belt. This study focuses on the analysis of the strength of the conveyor belt joint with adhesive glue on tensile strength, with temperature variations from hot to cold temperatures and given pressure with a certain compressive strength using the hot and cold splicing method. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of temperature variations and the pressure strength of the conveyor belt joint on tensile strength using the hot and cold splicing method. The standard for making test samples uses the DIN 22102 standard. The results of the study obtained the highest average tensile strength value of the cold splicing method of 11.461 (N/mm²) pressure of 50 N and 11.073 (N/mm²) pressure of 80 N. The hot splicing method at a temperature of 100°C had the highest average tensile strength value of 9.909 (N/mm²) pressure of 50 N and a temperature of 110°C had the highest average value of 8.409 (N/mm²) pressure of 80 N. For a temperature of 120°C the highest tensile strength value was 8.284 (N/mm²) pressure of 70 N. This study shows a decrease in the tensile strength value as the temperature and pressing force increase causing the conveyor belt to become brittle and fragile.
