European Champion Vulcanising !
Narviflex is European Champion Vulcanising !
On Saturday 20th November, the last 28 teams competed at the Fenner-Dunlop Factory in Drachten, Holland, for the title of : European Champion Vulcanising !
The teams, divided in 3 heats, had to make a finger splice in the new Fenner-Dunlop UsFlex belt. The UsFlex belt is a belt that can stand up to 5 times longer als a normal EP-belt. This belt is hot vulcanised by the special technical complicated UsFlex Fingersplice, who is, if well done, much stronger as a normal EP-splice. The goal of the competition was to make the fastest splice, that fullfilled all technical criteria and was tested in the Fenner-Dunlop lab. Contestants came from all over Europe : Italy, UK, Spain, Austria, Switserland, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Danmark, Sweden, ...
Three companies had the best cards, based on their experience in joining difficult belts : Dunlop factory joiners (Holland), Fenner factory joiners (UK) and Narviflex of Belgium, who worked closely together with Fenner-Dunlop in developing the special UsFlex joining and has done the most UsFlex joinings.
The contest started at 10:30 am and only at 21:30 pm, the official winners were announced : NARVIFLEX BELTING ! The Narviflex splicers were : Dirk Croonen, Yvan Wellens, Yvo Belmans and Dirk Vanuytsel. From now on, Narviflex and the splicers can call themselves : EUROPEAN CHAMPION ! Which means : the fastest company with the best quality of splices of all splicers of Europe !
