Combined fasteners
Bolt Combined fasteners
Combined fasteners are used in conveyor belt splicing and are characterized by acceptable equal strength and elasticity. Together with each other, they offer high-reliable connections for belts with rather different levels of loads and conditions. Combined fasteners are designed for industries such as mining and recycling with optimum inherent durability and life cycle performance.
Features of Bolt Combined Fasteners
Hybrid Design
These consist of elements such as bolts, hinges as well as plates alongside energetically flexible components, including metal or plastic, to offer holding connections that are superb yet elastic.
Increased Strength
The combined fasteners have greater tensile strength and are more durable than ordinary ones because they incorporate various kinds of fastening in a single unit.
Versatility
These fasteners may be used in many industrial applications where flexibility as well as powerful fastening is required.
Quick Installation
Nevertheless, many combined fasteners are made to be relatively easy to insert in order to minimize the time as much as possible.
Applications of Combined Fasteners
Mining
Transporting bulky materials that include ores, coking coal and aggregates.
Cement
Transportation of abrasive materials like limestone, sand cement etc.
Recycling
Conveying a range of products such as plastics, metals and glass through sorting systems.
Aggregate
Transportation of massive quantities of material substances such as gravel, sand and crushed stones.
Construction
The transport of the construction material within the construction site.
Quarries
Transportation of big boulders and other materials across relatively long distances in terrains.
Types
Bolt-Hinged Fasteners
The easiest and most flexible is to have a hinged design along with bolts for installation.
Perfect for those belts that may require constant adjustments or replacement.
Bolt-Solid Plate Fasteners
A strong and rigid connection is attainable with a plate that must be fixed with bolts.
Recommended for use in industries that demand tensile strength,mining and other industries.
Mechanical Clip Fasteners
Adopt metal or plastic clips as supplementary attachments together with a mechanical fastening method.
Light to medium loads are typically applied to the food industry or packaging industries.
Pin and Plate Fasteners
Connect a plate of the system with a clip that is installed into the belt for easy removal and installation.
Applied to belts where there is the possibility to the systems for cleaning and adjustment.
Combination Steel Fasteners
Interleave parts of steel with other versatile parts, such as hinges or clips, where strength is required, but flexibility is important, too.
Ideal for industries where belts come under severe climatic conditions, such as mining industries or recycling centers.
Choosing guide
Belt Type and Thickness
Check for its suitability in the type of belt material, rubber, PVC or any belt material, as well as its thickness. Both types of fasteners come with belt thickness recommendations for proper installation of belts.
Load Capacity
Select the fastener type which corresponds to the loading capacity of the conveyor system. Special use types, such as mine sites or cement, may need bolt-solid plate fastener types.
Flexibility vs. Rigidity
The counter fasteners also come in flexibility or rigidity, where you have bolt-hinged fasteners for belts, which have many traversing bends and bolt-solid plate fasteners for strong straight connections.
Pulley Diameter
Always go for fasteners that are suitable for the pulley size of your conveyor system. The fasteners used in smaller pulleys may be as rigid as those used in large pulleys, but in some swap cases, the fasteners need to be more flexible to support a smooth belt run.
Environment
If your conveyor is constantly exposed to chemicals, water, or high/low temperatures, then use fasteners that are chemically protected (for example, stainless steel or chrome-plated materials).
Maintenance Needs
In the case of belts that need to be adjusted or maintained often, look at the possibilities of easy installation, adjustment or replacement of the fasteners such as the bolt hinged. Tor pin and plate fasteners.
Industry Standards
The fasteners should satisfy any potential standard in use, especially in areas that require stringent cleanliness, such as those found in the food industry, drug manufacturing and clean room services.
