Abstract
A belt edge burnishing machine for burnishing the edges of a plurality of belts simultaneously. The belt edge burnishing machine comprises a conveyor and at least one buffing wheel positioned above the conveyor which is rotated about an axis parallel to the ground and to the conveyor. The belts are stacked on an edges finish board with the unfinished edges facing up. The edge finish board is placed on the conveyor which conveys the plurality of belts through the burnishing machine. As the belts pass beneath the rotating buffing wheel, the buffing wheel contacts all of the exposed unfinished edges, thus buffing the edges smooth.

A belt edge burnishing machine for simultaneously burnishing the edges of a plurality of belts, the belt edge burnishing machine having an input end and an output end and comprising:
- conveyor means for simultaneously conveying the plurality of belts from the input end to the output end of the burnishing machine with said plurality of belts being positioned adjacent to each other lengthwise with an unfinished edge of each of said plurality of belts exposed;
- at least one buffing wheel spaced apart from said conveyor means and at least equal in width to the combined widths of the belt edges on the conveyor means;
- and
- means for rotating said buffing wheel about an axis, wherein said rotating buffing wheel contacts and burnishes said unfinished edge of each of said plurality of belts simultaneously.
