Video Overview: Measuring For A Conveyor Dryer Belt Replacement

Replacing a conveyor dryer belt is an inevitable part of maintaining a high-quality screen printing operation. To ensure your equipment continues to run smoothly and your garments cure correctly, getting an exact measurement for your replacement belt is critical.

Based on the video guide from Lawson Workhorse Group, there are three reliable ways to determine the correct length for your machine:

• Consult the Manufacturer: The simplest method is to contact your equipment provider directly and ask for the original specifications.
• The Flat Lay Method: If you’ve already removed the old belt, simply lay it flat on the shop floor and measure the total length from end to end.
• The String Method: For those who prefer to keep the belt on the machine, you can use a piece of twine to create a "loop" following the belt's path, then measure the string.

Whether you are dealing with a standard setup or a customized dryer with extended in-feeds, accurate measurements prevent downtime and ensure a perfect fit. If your belt has only minor damage, you might even be able to save time and money with a Conveyor Repair Kit instead of a full replacement.
