Soft Seal
splices are flexible and can be reinforced
with stitching for extra strength. Use Soft
Seal splices where metal is undesirable. |
 |
Alligator
splices offer exceptionally strong metal
lacing. These are recommended for use with 5
inch diameter, or larger pulleys. |
|
Butt
splices are heat sealed with compiler on the
underside of the belt, creating a smooth top
surface. |
 |
Overlap
splices are the most popular type used in
the industry and can be enhanced with
molding for food processing applications.
Overlap ranges from 1 to 6 inches, with
directional belt angles of 22, 45, 60, and
90 degrees |
 |
 |
Clipper is a metal
lacing .This strong and extremely flexible
splice conforms well to smaller diameter
pulleys |
|
Other splices available on special
order, include Molded & Porous Overlap. |
|
Splice Flap covers
Clipper or Alligator splice metal lacing,
providing a continuous release surface. |

Two-Ply Lamination
provides uniform belt
thickness, allowing consistent heat
transfer. Splices are staggered for
improved strength. This construction is
available on selected fabrics and
widths.
|
| Edge Reinforcement
is available with 2 inch PTFE / PTFE glass
fabric folded over & sewn with two rows of
stitching. Heat sealed PTFE film edges, and
1 inch wide fabric edges heat sealed on the
top surface are also available. Edge
reinforcement prevents unraveling of porous
belts and provides strong support for pin
guides and grommets. |
 |
 |
|
|
The axis of each
pulley and roller must be parallel to all
others and at right angles to the direction
of the belt travel. The shorter the distance
between pulleys, the greater the need for
accurate parallelism. Techniques that
improve tracking include belt position
sensing devices that provide for automatic
correction, and belt pin guides which
receive pulley grooves. |
|
Pin Guides.
Standard stainless steel
pin guides, one inch center to center
and one-half inch edge to center, are
available on one or both sides of any
belt. Edge reinforcements may be
necessary on some fabrics
Now Available - Silicone Guide
Strips. White silicone extruded
guide strips extend machinery life by
avoiding abrasive surface wear of
pulleys. These strips allow belts to
move smoothly, virtually gliding through
tracking grooves. Can be used as an edge
guide or a center guide.
