Title: Repairing a dryer belt....
Post by: Northland on April 20, 2014, 06:29:02 PM
I had a member request for a photo of a repair I made to my dryer belt (using teflon thread).
I cut an 11' conveyor down to 8' and had to shorten the belt by 6'.
I overlapped the belt about 12" and stitched the leading and trailing edges (plus darned a small hole closed).
Here's what the repair looks like... nothing extraordinary... but works fine.

Nicely done!

We bought a belt that was just a little too long, and took the opposite approach:

That's impressive Northland, tight work. 

We used dental floss on ours and it looked like cave people did it....but that sucker is holding.

I first used dental floss about 9 years ago and it is still today holding that belt even though we only use that dryer for a back up now.
