| Fluorglas Belt Splice Options |
|
| |
|
 |
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.
