Hot Presses

This welding technology provides perfect process control with the BEHAbelt HP01 hot press especially developed for belt profiles and the associated PPuls Element temperature control for sophisticated industrial production of a welded connection.
Thanks to the small design and a number of smart design details this hot press is perfectly suitable for on-site use and in confined spaces. The unit can be made upon request of the customer as a water- or air-cooled version.
HP01 is the best choice for the best welding results in particular for the production of overlap welds of belt profiles.

Overlap joint
Using the HP01 hot press, you can produce butt and overlap welds for round belts with a diameter of 6–20 mm and for V-belts measuring 6×4 – 22×14 mm. Using suitable moulds, the weld area is pressed together under heat and pressure, thereby creating a reliable industrial joint.

In the case of overlap splice, a preliminary step is required to prepare the weld joint by cutting the belt to size. The special cutting aid SH01 has been developed for this purpose, enabling precise and repeatable weld preparation. An overlap splice thus achieves a strength of approximately 50% of the reinforcement used. In principle, an overlap splice always results in stiffening in the welded area and must therefore be taken into account when selecting the minimum pulley diameter. If you require assistance with calculations or design, our technical team will be happy to assist you.

 

Crimp connection
A special variant involves connecting belts with steel tension members. Here, the exposed reinforcement is connected using crimps, and the resulting gap at the joint is subsequently filled with material inserts and bonded to the surrounding material in the hot press. Our RH-2 connection kit is available for this purpose and provides you with all the equipment and materials required to create such a joint.

 

Toothed belts and flat belts
The HP01 hot press also offers the option of welding toothed belts and flat belts up to a maximum width of 50 mm using suitable moulds. A corresponding range of moulds is available. A punching technique for preparing the joint is not offered.
