Selection Guide – Step 1

• Measure belt thickness with the Clipper® Hook Gauge, Micrometer or Caliper.

• If the belt has an impression cover remove the impression prior to measuring the thickness.

Selection Guide – Step 4

• Select wire diameter.

– Smaller Diameter:

• Less noise as the splice contacts conveyor components.

• Less wear on conveyor components.

– Larger Diameter:

• Added strength from increased wire mass.

• Added wear resistance.

Carded Hooks

• Each hook is individually loaded onto a ‘carding paper’.

• Carding paper is used to secure the hooks during installation.• Two styles of

carding paper available.

• Paper style is dependent upon hook size.

Advantages of Unibar® Hooks

• Easier handling.

• Hook legs remain parallel when installed. Easier meshing of belt ends and easier pin insertion.

• No ‘belt wave’.

• Minimal chance of an individual hook dislodging.

• Patented Safety Strip protects fingers from hook points.

• Custom lengths 100-1500mm (4”-60”).

Selection Guide – Step 6

• Select hook leg length.

• The larger the hook, the longer the reach back.

• Under normal conditions it is recommended to use a shorter leg length for less fatigue.

• Under conditions where failures have occurred due to fastener comb out or under severe tension, use a longer reach back.

Selection Guide – Step 7

• Select the metal that is most appropriate for the application.

• Some typical wire include:– Galvanized - All purpose.– High Tensile - Added abrasion resistance

and added strength.– 430 and 316 Stainless - Corrosion

resistance and food applications.
