FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Clipper Wire Hook Fastening System

The double-staggered grip pattern gives wire hooks exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity of the belt carcass. Today’s splices also have a very low profile, making them increasingly more compatible with conveyor components and compliant with the need for reduced operating noise.

Unibar Fasteners

Unibar fasteners are formed by welding each Clipper hook to a common bar.

• Welded bar creates a stable strip of fasteners to eliminate damage during handling.
• Patented Safety Strip covers the hook points to protect fingertips, yet is easily removed prior to lacing.
• Hook legs are held parallel to simplify “meshing” of belt ends and the insertion of connecting pins.
• The risk of a single hook disengaging is significantly reduced, particularly important in the food industry.
• The welded bar creates a flat, finished splice so belt “wave” is eliminated.
• Under abusive applications, Unibar spreads shock loads to protect individual hooks.
• Unibar fasteners can be easily cut to the appropriate length, or ordered in special lengths up to 60" (1500 mm).
• They are not recommended for bias splices, troughed belts where common bar breakage is a concern, and where special metals are required.

APPLICATIONS

Typical industries for wire fasteners include:

• Package and parts handling
• General manufacturing
• Commercial laundry
• Food processing
• Agriculture
• Filter media
