On November 13, 2025, our certified technicians successfully completed a Cold Bonding Rubber Conveyor Belt Replacement for a wood chip carrier at Chan May Port, ensuring seamless cargo handling without disrupting the vessel’s schedule.
We provide professional Marine Conveyor Belt Repair and onboard belt maintenance for wood chip carriers at all major ports and anchorages across Vietnam, including Nghi Son, Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City, and Chan May. All work strictly follows IACS and IMO standards for marine safety and compliance.
Why Cold Bonding Rubber Conveyor Belts Matter
Rubber conveyor belts are essential for wood chip carriers, enabling continuous, efficient, and safe cargo transfer.
A worn or damaged conveyor belt can cause:
-
Slower cargo movement and potential spills
-
Unsafe conditions for personnel
-
Delays at port and non-compliance with IACS/IMO regulations
With Cold Bonding, Vietnam Shiprepair restores the belt’s strength and reliability without using heat, making it ideal for confined spaces like forepeak tanks or covered deck conveyors.
Step-by-Step: Cold Bonding Rubber Conveyor Belt Replacement at Chan May Port
Material Selection
We use IMO- and IACS-approved rubber belts, reinforced with EP fabric or steel cord. The adhesives are marine-grade cold bonding compounds, providing high tensile strength and long-term wear resistance.
Safe Removal of Worn Belt
Technicians lock out and tag out all drive systems. The old belt is cut into sections, removed safely, and disposed of properly.
Cold Bonding Installation
-
Prepare belt ends: clean, buff, and degrease
-
Apply adhesive layers: 2–3 coats, allowing curing between layers
-
Press belt ends together using mechanical rollers or clamps for uniform adhesion and precise alignment
-
Curing period: adhesive sets at ambient temperature, typically 18-20 hours
Cold bonding avoids heat, making it safe for confined or sensitive areas while achieving a seamless, strong joint.
Testing & Commissioning
After curing, belts are tested:
-
No-load run to verify alignment
-
Load simulation to confirm tension and smooth cargo flow
-
Final inspection ensures tracking and belt integrity
The conveyor system is returned to full operational service only after passing all checks.
Minimizing Downtime – Maximizing Efficiency
Every hour in port counts.
Our mobile repair teams replace belts quickly without delaying cargo operations. Cold Bonding allows work in tight spaces, reducing risk and ensuring uninterrupted vessel turnaround.
