MECHANICAL SPLICE RELIABILITY BELOW THE SURFACE

Conveyor output and overall operational productivity can be significantly impacted by mechanical belt fastener durability. The type of mechanical fasteners used for splicing should have excellent tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and durability. They should be able to withstand the heavy loads and constant wear and tear that occur during the transportation of coal.

The Flexco XP™ Staple Belt Fastening System combines an enhanced applicator tool with the longest-wearing staple fastener and hinge pin on the market to produce a superior belt splice for underground coal mines. 

Flexco XP™ Staple Belt Fastening System

A Premium Quality Staple System

Increased Fastener Tensile Strength

The cold rolled steel provides uniform mechanical properties and increased tensile strength of up to 50%.

Extended Splice Life

The larger and more durable loop area accepts a bigger pin for extending splice life and makes hinge pin insertion easier. 

Easy to Install

The applicator tools are easy to set up, operate, and transport. They set one fastener at a time, reducing misdrives, which can be skipped over. 

Smooth, Low Profile

The finished splice also has a smooth, low profile, which discourages damage to belt cleaners and other conveyor components.
