Splice Pattern – 90°

• 90° splice is the most commonly used splice pattern for standard troughing and non-troughing bulk conveyors.

• Requires the fewest fasteners.

• Easiest and quickest to install.

Splice Pattern – 45°

• Can be installed in situations where pulley diameters are as much as 25% smaller than the recommended size.

• Angled splice distributes tension over a greater belt area.

• Passes more smoothly over pulleys and under cleaners.

Wedlok® High Tension Splice

• Costs substantially less than a vulcanized splice.

• Quicker to install than a vulcanized splice and can be installed by your own maintenance crew.

• Can be installed on belts with a mechanical fastener rating up to 123kN/m (700 P.I.W.).

Rip Repair

• Use standard Flexco Bolt Solid Plate fasteners to repair belt edge tears and holes.

• Three-bolt Rip Plate fasteners can be used to bridge ‘soft’ spots.

• For jagged length-wise tears, standard fasteners can be combined with three-bolt Rip Plate fasteners.

Recessed Bolt Solid Plate

• When belt top covers are 4.8mm (3/16”) or more, we recommend countersinking (recessing) fasteners.

• Provides deeper penetration of fastener teeth into the carcass.

• Reduces fastener exposure and extends splice life.

• Reduces noise on return idlers.

• Smaller fasteners may be used in applications with smaller pulley diameters.
