Whether you need a single belt replacement or a full material specification for a new line, Vulcan supplies conveyor belts matched to your product, temperature and hygiene requirements.

Our belt division covers the full range from general-purpose PVC through food-grade PU and homogeneous TPU to extreme-temperature silicone, wire mesh and PTFE. We cut to width, splice in the workshop or weld on site, and keep critical spares on hand for breakdown response.

  • Belt supply across all major cover types
  • Finger splice, overlap and endless welding
  • On-site belt replacement and tracking
  • Spec matching from worn belt or reference
  • Food-grade FDA/EU compliant options
  • Preventive maintenance and breakdown response
Cover types

Belt materials we supply

Spec the cover for the product, temperature and washdown duty. We cut, splice and install on site when the line cannot wait.

From spec to splice

How we deliver belts

End-to-end from belt specification through on-site installation, with maintenance and breakdown response after handover.

01

Spec & quote

Send a belt reference, width, length or worn sample. We match the cover, ply count and splice type to your application and quote supply or full replacement.

02

Cut & splice

Belts cut to width in the workshop. Finger splice, overlap or endless welding to your pulley diameter and tracking requirements.

03

Install on site

Trained technicians fit the belt, set tracking and tension, and run a test cycle before handover. Hot or cold splice on site when the line cannot stop.

04

Keep it running

Preventive inspections, on-site welding, tracking adjustments, spare belt stock and emergency breakdown response.

Tell us what belt you need.

Send a belt reference, width, application or a photo of the worn belt. We will come back with a spec match and a quote.
