| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a belt 1 with an upstream preparation of a tension member 3, wherein the belt 1 comprises a belt body of a polymeric material having elastic properties, comprising a cover layer 2 as a belt back and a base 4 with a power transmission zone 7; and a tension member 3 embedded in the belt body, the tension member 3 being prepared with crosslinked polymer; wherein, in an upstream process stage of the belt production, tensile carrier cavities of the tensile carrier 3 are at least partially filled with crosslinked polymer and the tensile carrier 3 is sealed with a coating layer of crosslinked polymer by adding in a single preparation stage or in at least two preparation stages the tensile carrier 3 with a total Preparation mixture, comprising at least one prepolymer, at least one crosslinker and at least one solvent or dispersant, is wetted, and the prepared tensile carrier 3 is then dried. Two process variants and procedural details are presented. |
