| VOLTA® - THE NEXT STEP IN BELTING |
All Volta VAR (Vee And Round) belting can be easily welded, either on site or prior to installation.
For optimal results, only use VOLTA VAR TOOLS
| Cut profile to desired length. Clean profile surface and welding head with alcohol to remove dirt and grease. Pre-heat welder (W1 or W2) at least 10 minutes before use. |
| For reinforced belts only. Clamp profile in pliers, choose drill bit that matches polyester cord's diameter and drill out cord from both ends of the belt. Make sure you remove all the fibres. |
| Clamp profile in appropriate groove, depending on profile size (I for round profiles 2-4mm, II for round profiles 3-8mm and III for round profiles 8mm or above and for Vee belts). |
 | Place the heated welder head between the profile ends and close the pliers lightly until the profile ends melt equally and form approximately a 1mm bead. |
 | Open the pliers quickly and pull welder away. Avoid dragging melted material out of joint area.
|
 | Close pliers quickly but gently and tighten thumb screw. Depending on profile diameter, wait at least 10 minutes for welded area to cool down |
 | Release belt from pliers and trim welding flash from belt with side cutters. The Volta belt is now ready for long-lasting and reliable service. |
