Description
Flexco® R5 Rivet Fasteners are mechanical fasteners designed for use with a wide range of conveyor belts, and are typically used in industries such as underground mining, asphalt plants, aggregate and ready mix plants and log belts or similar applications. They are intended for belt thicknesses between 5.5mm and 11mm.
The Flexco R5 Rivet Fasteners consist of a steel plate with a staggered pattern of rivet attachment points on one side and a clinching mechanism on the other. The fasteners are inserted through the belt and then clinched together using a special tool to create a strong, secure joint.
The installation process involves first laying the two ends of the conveyor belt flat on a work surface, with the overlapping ends facing each other. Then, the R5 Rivet Fasteners are inserted through the belt, with one end of the fastener positioned in each belt end. The clinching process is then performed using a special tool that pulls the two ends of the fastener together, creating a strong, secure joint.
One of the key benefits of the R5 Rivet Fasteners is their ease of installation. They do not require any special training or expertise to install, and the process can be completed quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the fasteners are designed to provide long-lasting performance, even in demanding industrial environments.
