Belt Varieties
Heavyweight Belt Fasteners
For heavy-duty applications like coal, cement, mining, and aggregate, two main belt fastener types are used: Hinged Plate and Solid Plate. Hinged plate fasteners, suitable for small pulleys, are inserted into each belt end, joined, and secured with a pin. Solid plate fasteners, ideal for larger pulleys and sift-free splicing, involve a single plate attached to both belt ends using bolts, rivets, or staples, depending on the belt type. These versatile fasteners, available in various metals, ensure reliable connections in demanding environments.
Lightweight Belt Fasteners
In light-duty applications such as agriculture, parcel handling, food, and laundry, our fasteners come in hook and lacing styles. Installation methods range from machine application to manual tools, and the fasteners are available in various materials, including metals, plastics, and food-grade options. Selecting the right mechanical belt fastening system is crucial for effective belt splicing.
Installation Tools/Equipment
Equipment
- Belt Clamps: Avoid the problems and potential dangers associated with homemade devices with belt clamps designed to properly secure and clamp a belt for safe conveyor maintenance.
- Belt Cutters: A properly squared belt discourages mistracking and splice failure, so utilizing a belt cutter that provides a straight cut is paramount to the splicing process. Our Belt Cutters minimize the danger of accidental injury during the belt-cutting process.
- Belt Lifter: Our Belt Lifter puts an end to pry bars and manual lifting, making a difficult and hazardous job easier and safer.
- Belt Skiver: A skived belt helps extend splice life, ensure compatibility with belt cleaners with a lower profile, and creates a stronger splice
