Features & Benefits Fast, easy installation. Built-in viewports in each plate assures proper installation alignment. Can be installed with either the portable MSRT9 or the Flexco® Power Set™ Rivet Driver.

Features & Benefits Fastener/Belt Cleaner compatibility. Used with Mineline® family of belt cleaners, the Scalloped Edge™ and low profile reduces fastener impact for cleaner blades, skirt rubber and return idlers.

Features & Benefits For the most demanding high-tension or thick belt applications, R9 has greater reachback, a thicker plate and an enhanced loop area to accommodate a larger diameter hinge pin.

Installation Tools R9 can be installed with the portable MSRT9 installation tool and a 6lb. (2.7kg) hammer. The MSRT9 installs R9 fasteners only.

Installation Tools Or use the Flexco® Power Set™ Rivet Driver. The Power Set was designed to reduce operator fatigue, safely speed up installation of Flexco® SR™ belt fasteners and provide consistent, controlled and uniform splices each and every time.

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

Installation Tools 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.

Installation Tools 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.

Installation Tool Reduce friction on metal tools, and rubber or fabric belt surfaces with Flexco® Silicone Lubricant. Makes cutting or punching holes in belting easier. Non-flammable. Does not contain fluorocarbons.

Installation Tools The Alligator® 300 Series Belt Cutter delivers clean, straight cuts quickly and safely. For belts of any width up to 28mm (1-1/8”) thick. Double-edged blade cuts in either direction.

Installation Tools When Belt Grips are slipped over belt edge at a right angle, belts can be pulled without damaging the belt surfaces. Makes pulling belting by hand a lot easier. Belt grips can be used on belts up to 16mm (5/8”) thick and come in pairs.
