Emergency Rip Repair – There When You Need It Most
When belt damage occurs, it is critical to avoid the lengthy downtime and expensive repairs normally associated with returning conveyors to service after belt rips. Flexco understands that having all the tools you need in one place can prevent long periods of downtime and help you meet production goals. That’s why our Rip Repair Kits have everything you need—from power installation tools to mechanical belt fasteners—to fix your belt and be back up and running in no time.
Flexco Rip Repair Kits
Convenient
Conveniently stored
Don’t search for the fasteners and tools needed to repair a tear in your belt. Be prepared with a kit you can pull right off the shelf for a quick fix. Flexco Rip Repair Kits come packed in one box, complete with a bucket of 100 fasteners ordered by belt thickness, power installation tools and bolt breakers. This kit keeps your belt and production moving until a permanent repair can be performed during scheduled downtime.
High Strength
Long lasting splice
The high strength of Flexco Bolt Solid Fasteners is the result of superior design and plate compression on both the top and bottom sides of the belt. High tensile strength bolts compress top and bottom plates to distribute splice tension evenly across the entire width of each fastener plate, creating strong, durable splice. They're also available with rubber-covered top plates for increased impact protection and compatibility with conveyor components.
Easy Installation
Easy to install
Flexco Rip Repair Kits have been designed for fast installation by onsite workers. Impact wrench driven power tools are included in the kits and can reduce installation time by over 50%. Only Flexco offers bolts with a patented pilot design that provides immediate alignment. The bottom plates also come pre-assembled with bolts for faster installation.
Versatile
For a variety of belt thicknesses & rip types
Kits are ordered based on belt thickness, so you know you have the right fastener solution every time. Kits are available for a variety of belt thicknesses, ranging from 6 to 32 mm thick. The fasteners can be used to repair conveyor belt holes, edge tears, jagged lengthwise tears and clean lengthwise tears.

For jagged, lengthwise conveyor belt tears, or for bridging “soft spots,” standard Bolt Solid Plate Fasteners can be combined with three bolt Rip Repair Fasteners. Two of the three bolt fasteners should be placed along the weak or “flap” side of a jagged tear to increase stability.
For larger holes or punctures, a patch of belting can be attached to the original belt using standard Bolt Solid Plate Fasteners. Make a square hole in the belt, cutting out the damaged area. You can now use that damaged piece to cut a patch from the new belting.
