The present invention concerns an apparatus (20) for refurbishing a belt (22 ) having a width, a length and a degraded surface (38). The apparatus (20) comprises a frame (24), a cutting member (26) rotatably supported by the fra me (24) for selectively removing a determined amount of the degraded surface (3 8) simultaneously and uniformly along the width and the length of the belt (22) , and a positioning member (28) supported by the frame (24) for keeping the be lt (22) in position during removal of the determined amount of the degraded surface (38). The positioning member (28) has a first portion (46) holding t he belt (22) against the cutting member (26) and a second portion (54) adjacent on each side to the cutting member (26) and pushing the belt (22) away from the latter (26). The apparatus (20), when not used as a kit onto an existing belt conveying machine (130), also includes a driving member (30) secured to the frame (24) for displacing the belt (22) relative to the cutting member (26) along the length of the belt (22). |
