THE PROBLEM

The costs and risks added up with each splice of the company's candy bar line belt. 6-8 hours for an outside crew of four to prepare and splice the belt. External splicing equipment and labor presenting possible contamination threats. Complete belt removal to bring it to the heavy, water-cooled press for splicing and then realignment – all costing precious production time before the line would be back up and running.

THE SOLUTION

The manufacturer’s technical manager invested in the lightweight Novitool® Aero® Splice Press from Flexco and is now splicing belts in-house. The portability, ease of use, and splice times as fast as 8-12 minutes now allow for 10-15 splices during scheduled downtime, protecting valuable production time.

The ROI

The operation estimates a minimum monthly savings of $5,000 with this in-house solution, for a first-year return of $60,000. And with built-in air cooling, the Aero® Press eliminated the threat of contaminants possible from a water-cooled press. A crew of two is now assigned to the Aero Press and the process takes only two hours from belt prep to cool down without having to remove the belt from the conveyor.
