Frame-style vulcanising equipment for fabric ply belts
The STARK SF frame-style vulcaniser is a fabric ply conveyor belt splicing press with aluminium upper and lower frames. Smaller models include end carry handles. The flexible platen uses extruded-plank construction, silicone heating elements and composite insulation to conform to belt irregularities.
A pressure bag distributes pressure across the splice surface, and water channels through the platen provide cooling. The SF range offers standard and custom sizes, with platen bias options to match the splice design. Frame-style equipment suits applications where a single-frame press covers the splice; the STARK sectional range provides the modular alternative for wider belts and steel cord splicing requirements.

Frame vulcaniser press: common questions
Which conveyor belts does the STARK SF frame press splice?
The STARK SF frame press is offered for fabric ply conveyor belts. Belt width, splice length and platen bias are used to select the press size for the required splice design.
How is the STARK SF frame press cooled?
The SF frame press is water cooled through channels in the extruded platen. Cooling availability is therefore part of the site information required when discussing a press configuration.
When should a sectional press be considered instead?
The SF frame press suits a splice covered by a single-frame arrangement. MSI identifies the STARK sectional press as the alternative for wider belts and steel cord splices requiring modular traverse-bar construction.
