e Amigo™ is designed to cut and splice, thermoplastic homogeneous (monolithic) conveyor belts. Belt ends are
prepared for splicing using the integrated belt cutter. Interchangeable templates ensure accurate cut length and pitch of
positive drive belts. Preheating belt ends inside enclosed guarded heat zone ensures quality repeatable splices at a wide
range of ambient temperatures. e integrated contactless heating allows for controlled melt depth of belt ends.
e Return Side splicing kit includes components to enable splicing with the Amigo splice press on the return side
of a conveyor.
If your Amigo Guard presently possess the magnet extension shown in the Heat Shield Guard Adapter Kit 1,
proceed to “ Return Side Operation Instructions”, no guard modication is required.
