How Clipper® The Clipper® Hooks Work double-staggered grip pattern that gives wire hooks exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity of the belt carcass. The points of the fastener pass through the belt carcass and are formed over, locking the carcass between them. Hook design incorporates a This low profi le splice is highly compatible with conveyor components and compliant with the need for reduced operating noise. Additional splice strength and consistency of splice installation is obtained through precision machine application. Applications • Package and Parts Handling • Food Processing • Checkout Counters • Commercial Laundries • Filter Media • Agriculture Installation Method Class™, or Microlacer® Hooks can be installed with on-site maintenance lacers such as the Roller Lacer® Depending on the application, Clipper® , Roller Lacer® Lacers for high volume lacing (Pro 400, Pro 600, Pro 6000, or Electric Hydraulic Lacers), or Specialty Lacers such as the Plier-Tape Lacer, Vice Lacer, Baler Belt Lacer. Please contact Flexco to discuss your application. , Production How to Specify the Correct Clipper® Fastener 1. Measure your Belt Thickness (PIW). 2. Measure the Diameter of the Smallest Pulley in your Drive with Belt Wrap more than 90°. 3. Using the selection chart on page 6, identify possible hook choices. 4. Narrow selections by selecting desired wire diameter. • Larger wire diameter provides greater strength and abrasion resistance. • Smaller wire diameter provides less noise and less wear on conveyor components. 5. If multiple choices remain, select either carded or Unibar® style fastener. Fastener Metal Selection Galvanized Steel. For basic applications, galvanized steel is recommended. Stainless Steel. Type 430 and Type 316 Stainless Steel offers more resistance than steel to abrasion, acids, chemicals, rusting, and magnetic attraction. High Tensile. Added abrasion resistance and fastener retention strength. Specialty Metal. • Coated Steel • Rectangular High Tensile • Monel® • Inconel® • Phosphor Bronze • Hastelloy • Black Oxide Hinge Pin Selection DSS DuraStainless™ - stainless spring steel core with fi lled nylon coating for superior abrasion resistance, fl at belts only.
