45 years of Excellence in Education

A firm handshake. A well-stocked tool box. A skilled technician.

There was a time when this alone was enough. In our changing world of mergers and acquisitions, growing conglomerates, and multifaceted corporations, every belt splicer must answer the one question that every mine, every quarry, every factory, is asking: “Why should I choose you to splice my conveyor belts?”

Almex Institute gives you a definitive answer and the credentials to back it up.

“We have the Almex Advantage: All my technicians are Almex Institute certified.”

Founded upon the principals of excellence and value which have made the Almex brand of vulcanizers the product of choice in countries around the globe, Almex Institute is housed in a state-of-the-art facility in Atlanta, Georgia. Custom designed to meet the needs of the new generation of workers; the new Almex Institute training program and facility are geared toward bridging the gap for those new to the field of splicing and updating veterans on cutting edge methods and technologies.

What topics will be covered?

• Steel cord belt splicing
• Step splicing of fabric belts (hot & cold process)
• Finger splicing heavy weight rubber belting (hot & cold process)
• Pulley lagging and rubber lining
• Vulcanizer set-up and operation

How will the materials be presented?

In an effort to address the diversities found in every group, Almex Institute training techniques will include a variety of approaches and learning opportunities including:

• Classroom instruction
• Small group discussion
• Question and answer sessions
• Multimedia presentations

Who will facilitate?

Led by Michael Cremeens, the Almex Institute instructors will bring experience and product knowledge to the classroom. Mike’s experiences over the last thirty years run the gambit from belt splicer to company owner to manufacturing and rubber processing to technical training in over twenty-five countries. Mike has authored numerous items for industry publications including contributions to NIBA "Beltline" and the Rubber Manufacturers Association conveyor belt handbook.
