Welcome to Flexco Bolt Solid Plate
HEAVY-DUTY FASTENER SYSTEMS
2
Applications

• Engineered to meet the demands of the toughest
  material-handling applications.
• Commonly used for highly abrasive materials.
• Can be applied to belts mechanically rated up to
  105kN/m (620 P.I.W.).

3
Applications

• Coal
• Hard-Rock Mining
• Foundries
• Grain Elevators
• Aggregate Plants
• Steel Mills
• Recycling

Selection Guide
Operating tension 75-100 of Belt Rating
5
Superior Strength

• Strong, sift-free splice with superior holding
  ability.
• Compression fastener plates are mounted above
  and below the belt with high tensile strength
  bolts.

6
Superior Strength

• Specially formed teeth penetrate deep into the
  belt carcass without damaging the carcass
  fibers.
• Teeth add strength and pull-out resistance.

7
Easy Installation

• Specially designed templets, punches and boring
  tools make it easy to quickly and accurately
  punch holes into belts.
• Fasteners can be installed on site using portable
  hand or power tools.

8
Easy Installation

• Exclusive Flexco piloted bolt speeds
  installation.
• Piloted bolt tips cradle nuts securely in place
  aligning the bolt and nut threads as the nut is
  turned.

9
Splice Pattern 90

• 90 splice is the most commonly used splice
  pattern for standard troughing and non-troughing
  bulk conveyors.
• Requires the fewest fasteners.
• Easiest and quickest to install.

10
Splice Pattern 45

• Can be installed in situations where pulley
  diameters are as much as 25 smaller than the
  recommended size.
• Angled splice distributes tension over a greater
  belt area.
• Passes more smoothly over pulleys and under
  cleaners.

11
Wedlok High Tension Splice

• Costs substantially less than a vulcanized
  splice.
• Quicker to install than a vulcanized splice and
  can be installed by your own maintenance crew.
• Can be installed on belts with a mechanical
  fastener rating up to 123kN/m (700 P.I.W.).

12
Rip Repair

• Use standard Flexco Bolt Solid Plate fasteners to
  repair belt edge tears and holes.
• Three-bolt Rip Plate fasteners can be used to
  bridge soft spots.
• For jagged length-wise tears, standard fasteners
  can be combined with three-bolt Rip Plate
  fasteners.

13
Recessed Bolt Solid Plate

• When belt top covers are 4.8mm (3/16) or more,
  we recommend countersinking (recessing)
  fasteners.
• Provides deeper penetration of fastener teeth
  into the carcass.
• Reduces fastener exposure and extends splice
  life.
• Reduces noise on return idlers.

• Smaller fasteners may be used in applications
  with smaller pulley diameters.

14
Installation Tools Supplies

• The only tools needed are a templet and portable
  hand and power tools.
• Impact wrench driven power tools are recommended
  since they can speed installation time by at
  least 50

15
Installation Tools Supplies

• 90 and 45 Templets simplify installation by
  providing an accurate guide for precise placement
  of bolt holes.
• Lengths for all standard belt widths are
  available.

16
Installation Tools Supplies

• With a hammer and the Flexco Cracking Chisel,
  worn top plates can be easily replaced without
  replacement of the entire splice.

17
Installation Tools Supplies

• Flexco-Lok Tape is a rigid tape that helps
  eliminate belt ripple on plied or solid-woven
  belting, so belts run smoothly over pulleys and
  under cleaners.
• Also helps seal the splice against seepage of
  fines and moisture.

18
Installation Tools Supplies

• Make straighter cuts time after time with the
  lightweight, easy-to-use 840 Series Belt Cutter.
• Cuts in both directions.
• Designed to enhance operator safety.
• Grips belts securely.
• Safety blade is shielded from operator contact.

19
Installation Tools Supplies

• Portable, lightweight FSK Belt Skiver adjusts
  easily and precisely to various cutting depths.
• Use on rubber-covered belts with top covers of
  4.5mm (3/16) or more.
• Provides skives from 1.5-10mm (1/16-3/8) deep
  in a single pass.

20
Installation Tools Supplies

• Securely grips belts up to 25mm (1) thick.
• Easily adjusts to fit a variety of belt widths.

• Far-Pul HD Belt Clamps are easy-to-use,
  lightweight and specially engineered for
  heavy-duty applications.
• Load capacity up to 2.7 metric tons (3 tons) when
  used with two 1-1/2 ton come-alongs.
• Provides even tensioning across entire belt width.

21
