Light Duty Fasteners
Light Duty Fasteners
Light-duty plastic fasteners are normally used with flexible and lightweight conveyor belts for lower-intensity packaging, food processing, or low-light manufacturing applications. Such fasteners can be closely installed and, therefore, consist of such materials as plastic and even lighter metals. These are for belts that are moderate on loads being transported or the speeds that have been worked at.
Features
Here are some key features of bolt solid plate fasteners:
Ease of Installation
It doesn’t take a long time to install and can sometimes be installed without much use of tools.
Flexibility
Especially for belts with small pulleys and limited access to them.
Durability
Used whenever belt adjustments or belt replacement are frequently required.
Versatility
As for applications it is available in various materials to be used with different industries and belt types.
Smooth Operation
Allows for eliminating wear and tear on the other belt system parts while continuing the belt line.
Types of light-duty fasteners
Wire Hooks
Often used in soft conversions, these fasteners are flexible and constructed from metal wire, making them easier to use. They are being used for belts in packing, washing and preparing industries.
Staple Fasteners
They use metal staples inserted on both belt ends and bent to overlap to ensure they have formed the belt. These are normally found for belts in Agriculture and light industries.
Plate Fasteners
Belt ends are joined together with small metal plates to keep the combination firm and stable. This kind of bearing is useful for applications demanding relatively low load-bearing capacity but simultaneously a high degree of durability.
Clipper Fasteners
These fasteners employ a sequence of metal hooks interconnecting between them by a hinge pin to allow flexibility and disassembly. These products are commonly applied in the laundry, printing and textiles industries.
Plastic Fasteners
hese are made to be anti-corrosive and ideal for use where metal is not wanted like in food handling industries.
Industrial applications
Food Processing
Found in conveyor systems used on moving foods and food products to enhance their cleaning ability and reduce tension.
Packaging
Of lesser load capacities to facilitate the movement of packaged goods within a warehouse or the production lines.
Recycling
They are ideal for sorting and moving light commodities that include Paper, plastic or small metals.
Textile Industry
Employed in textile production processes in which fabrics and yarns are conveyed without rubbing against each other.
Pharmaceuticals
Used in conveyor systems for transportation of medicine and medical equipment in clean and sterilized areas.
Printing and Paper
Specifically designed for carrying low density goods such as Paper, magazines, printed and published products.
