Flextrans Belting offers many effective ways to splice and install your conveyor belt. Generally, the most common method is Conveyor Belt Lacing and includes options such as clipper and alligator lacing and bolt solid plate and bolt hinge.
We also offer Endless Spliced Belts which can provide higher strength ratings with no fasteners such as with lap splicing and finger spliced belts. Lacing methods can also be recessed, covered and hidden.
Choosing the most suitable mechanical conveyor belt lace system for your application is the most important step in the fastening process. Our conveyor belt lacing options are available in a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, plastic, high tensile steel, and megalloy.
Alligator Lacing
Alligator Lacing are stainless steel metallic fasteners with a tie bar across the back preventing any individual pieces coming away and potentially falling into food products. These allow belts to easily to fitted and removed from conveyors.
Clipper Lacing
Clipper Lacing uses individual clips which are installed using a special machine with minimal damage to the belt. The ends are joined by a pin. Clipper Lacing provides a smooth joint which can be used for trough conveyors and smaller pulleys.
Staple Lacing
Staple Lacing uses a one-piece fastener strip with pre inserted staples which is hammered into the ends of the belt with a tool. Ideal for a wide range of light and medium duty applications and is typically easy to install.
Bolt Hinge Lacing
Bolt Hinge Lacing uses solid plates which are bolted along the belt ends and joined via a pin. These are commonly used in heavy duty applications.
Rivet Hinge Lacing
Rivet Hinge Lacing uses solid plates which are riveted to the belt ends by means of a special tool. The rivet hinge lacing is held together by a pin. Generally good for many heavy duty applications.
Rivet Solid Plate Lacing Rivet Solid Plate Lacing uses solid plates which are riveted to the belt while it is on the conveyor. Special tooling is required to install this lacing. Typically used in heavy duty applications.
