Honeycomb Belt

The Eddie Wire Straightening Tool has been designed to work with Flat-Flex® and Flat-Flex® XT® belts. Straightening wire strands during belt joining, regular maintenance checks, and at the beginning / end of each shift is vitally important. The three ends of the wire straightening tool have been machined with slots that accommodate multiple wire diameters each.

Conveyor Belt clips are used for joining the belt during installation and for making fast minor repairs to the belt. They are available in one space and three space units. If you would like clips, these should be ordered at the same time you place your belt order.

Joining tubes can be used to create a hybrid join between a full strand weave and the use of joining clips. A single strand is cut into smaller single space sections, which are woven into the belt and joined together by crimping a stainless steel joining tube onto the adjacent wire sections. This method maintains the belt strength of a full strand weave while eliminating the distortion that occurs during the weaving process. It is important to consider whether joining tubes could mark product or have hygiene implications when choosing this method.

Using EZ-Splice™ belt joining strand during installation will dramatically extend your belt life! Belt installations that are rushed and improperly made are often the cause of belt breakage and downtime. EZ-Splice™ is a pre-formed, pre-bent joining strand that requires no bending or weaving during installation. This helps to prevent any weak spots in the belt joint.
