ALLIGATOR LACING


How Alligator Lacing Works

Alligator lacing utilizes a design with teeth that enter parallel to the length of the belt and imbed clear through the belt carcass. The teeth are formed so that when they are driven into the belt, the vital longitudinal carcass fibers are not severed.
 
Additional strength is obtained due to the connecting bar and because the fastener strip is one continuous piece. This provides a strong, vise-like hold on the belt and distributes belt tension evenly across the entire belt width. The one-piece fastener strip also insures that there are no loose pieces to work themselves out of the belt and into the conveyed product. The straight splice obtained with a continuous strip of lacing also helps with hinge pin insertion.

Applications

  • Manufacturing assembly lines, food, package and parts handling, checkout counters and agricultural equipment.

P.I.W. (pounds per inch width)

  • Use with belts that are mechanically rated up to 200 PIW (maximum recommended tension range varies by lacing size.)

Installation Method

  • Requires only a hammer; no special tools needed. Unique, patented clips and round gauge rod act as an "extra pair of hands." For production splicing, Alligator belt lacing machines are offered.

Splicing Method

  • Alligator lacing is a continuous one-piece fastener strip, tailored to all standard belt widths. Lacing is secured with teeth that imbed lengthwise of the belt, providing a strong, vise-like attachment.

Pulley Diameter Range

  • Alligator lacing operates over a wide range of minimum pulley diameters from 1" to 14", depending on lacing size.

Metals Available

  • Steel - is the standard fastener material.
  • Stainless Steel - Type 316.

Fastener Profile

  • Low profile, one-piece design results in an exceptionally smooth joint.

Range

  • Operates on belts 1/32" to 1/2" thick.

     STAPLE BELT FASTENERS

The Ready Set Staple System

With the Ready Set Staple fastener system, an extended plate design separates the point of staple penetration from the line of belt flexing, thus eliminating splice fatiguing that results from sawing action at the point of attachment.
 
High tensile, stainless steel staple fasteners are furnished in strips with a bridge between each fastener plate. This strip design prevents individual parts from getting into the product being conveyed - eliminating a problem that may occur with some hook or teeth types of fasteners. The Ready Set Staples provide a strong splice, resistance to impact damage, and a smooth, unrippled joint that makes hinge pin insertion easier.
 
Ready Set Staples work between carcass fibers without severing them. Staples are hammer-driven through the belt, then clinched cross-wise to the belt, so that belt tension does not pull against the staples to unclinch them.

Applications

Light and medium-duty conveyor belts in package and baggage handling, cased goods, parts, food, wood and agricultural products.

Installation Method

A portable, lightweight application tool can be easily carried to the job site. This tool holds the belt and fastener while staples are driven with a hammer.

Fastener Profile

Smooth, low profile facilitates operation with diverters and shears.

PIW (Pounds per Inch Width)

For belts with mechanical fastener ratings up to 200 PIW.

Metals Available

Staple fasteners are available in steel and type 316 stainless steel.

Range

Staple fasteners are for use on belts from 1/16" to 1/4" thick.

Pulley Diameter

Ready Set Staple Fasteners operate smoothly over pulleys as small as 2" in diameter.

The Staple Installation Tool

The RSC187 staple tool (pictured at the top of this page) accurately installs two staples simultaneously for quick, dependable splice installation. Numbers RS62, RS125 and RS187 fasteners are each installed with the Series RSC187 tool. Tools come complete with guide blocks and driver. RSC187 tools are available in a variety of sizes which allow varying amounts of belt width to be laced at one position. Tools can be moved rapidly along the belt as staples are installed. Tools, up to 24" wide, speed splicing. Wider tools are available for production lacing and fabrication shop requirements.
