Remove, cut, weld and replace: fast, seamless belt repairs
Damaged belts lead to suboptimal product. IPCO’s disc replacement service offers the fastest and most reliable way to restore a damaged belt to its original status. Operated at your site by IPCO service technicians, the QuickDisc tool family enables fast removal of damaged areas in steel belts, replacing them with new steel discs.
The QuickDisc family includes a cutting and welding tool and has a clamping function to maintain a flat and stable belt surface throughout. The tool is also used to produce in advance the discs to be inserted. This reduces downtime to around 4–6 hours in most cases.
How the QuickDisc process works
Assessing the damage – the technicians will select the smallest possible disc size based on the extent of the damage. Discs can be cut to 140 mm, 210 mm, 300 mm, 400 mm or 480 mm.
Cutting a new disc – the new disc is usually cut from the spare belt plate IPCO supplies with each new belt. We cut the smallest possible patch using a carbide bit. If your belt has become thinner over time (e.g. through use of abrasive cleaners), we will match its thickness with a disc on stock.
Removing the damaged area – we will cut out the damaged area, again using a carbide bit appropriate to the thickness and steel grade of your belt.
Replacing and finishing – the new disc is inserted, welded in place and then carefully ground down for a smooth finish.

Why IPCO’s QuickDisc service matters
Any damage to a press belt – even the smallest crack or deformation – may affect product quality by leaving an imprint. It can also slow down the production process, if pressure or heat transmission are reduced. Untreated, the problem will become worse over time.
