Nylon Conveyor Belt    Patterned Conveyor Belt  A smaller-sized version of Flexco SR rivet-attached, hinged-plate conveyor belt fasteners combines that design's field-proven ruggedness and holding power with patent-pending features, resulting in a high-performance alternative for the most demanding medium-duty conveyor applications.

Flexco's R2 medium-duty rivet fastener is intended for belts with mechanical fastener ratings of up to 330PIW (pounds per inch of width), which are used in a wide variety of manufacturing, processing and warehousing environments where relatively heavy loads move on belts ranging from 6 to10mm thick.

Similar to its heavy-duty forerunners, the R2 fastener consists of top and bottom plates joined at one end by two hinge loops.

Each top-and-bottom plate segment sandwiches the belt end and is secured with a high-strength rivet attachment technique pioneered by Flexco.

Plate segments are installed side-by-side across both belt ends, the loops from both belt ends are meshed and a hinge pin is inserted to lock the joint together.

Each R2 fastener segment attaches to the belt end with two rivets, in contrast to the five-rivet attachment used with larger SR sizes.

Unlike the larger SR segments, R2 plates feature two patent-pending teeth that embed deeply into the load-bearing belt carcass during installation.

These teeth are strategically positioned near the outer corners of each segment's top plate to aid the rivets in optimising the fastener's pull strength.

The resulting four-point grip permits a shorter reachback length that enables the fastener to operate smoothly around pulley diameters as small as 127mm.

Rivets and teeth are positioned in from the plate edges to prevent the belt from flexing at the point of fastener attachment.

This plate design reduces belt fatigue at that point and greatly extends the life of the splice on mechanically rated belts.

The plates also feature a rounded outer contour with a tapered low-profile edge to help the fasteners pass smoothly beneath scrapers, diverters and skirtboards.

To assure proper splice alignment, every third R2 plate segment is formed with a patent-pending viewport in the top plate to let the installer see that the belt end is properly butted against the belt stop formed into the fastener's bottom plate.

The segments are produced in continuous strips that further assure precise alignment and spacing across the belt end.For more information,please visit http://www.bossgoo.com
