A junction device for connecting two ends of a longitudinal conveyor belt includes at least two junction plates configured to each cover a separate side of the ends of the conveyor belt so that said conveyor belt is arranged between the two junction plates in an assembled operational position. The junction plates are secured together by attachment means arranged to pass through a junction plate, one of the ends of the conveyor belt and then the other junction plate, respectively. Each of the junction plates is made of a flexible, resilient material and provided with a reinforcement. The reinforcement is formed by at least one textile layer. The reinforcement is delimited longitudinally by transverse edges. The reinforcement extends transversely relative to said conveyor belt in the assembled position. The transverse edges each have an unweaving support to prevent the unweaving of the reinforcement during usage of the junction device.

A bonder and a method for bonding corrugated sidewalls to a thermoplastic belt at a splice joint. Two heating jaw assemblies with complementary and confronting corrugated vertical faces clamp a thermoplastic belt to a base of the bonder with a corrugated sidewall section separated from the belt across a splice joint received in a corrugated slot formed between the confronting vertical faces. Corrugated bonding strips at the bottoms of the corrugated vertical faces apply heat to melt the bottom of the sidewall section on opposite sides to bond the corrugated sidewall section to the base.
