Segmented Transfer Plates
Flexco Segmented Transfer Plates are the key solution for reducing luggage damage and jams at conveyor transfers. The segmented design allows the transfer plate to be installed and operate while touching the belt, creating a tight seal that reduces the chance of luggage straps, wheels, and tags from becoming lodged in the transfer.
Mechanical Belt Fastening Systems
Alligator® Staple, Clipper® Wire Hooks, and Clipper® G-SeriesTM all offer fast installation that is useful when having to splice conveyor belting during a critical breakdown. Offered in high wearing metals high tensile and stainless steel, these mechanical fasteners are up for the challenges faced in baggage handling systems running at higher speeds and conveying a larger quantity of bags.
Novitool® Aero® Splice Press
The Novitool® Aero® Splice Press is the best and fastest endless splicing press available on the market, capable of completing a splice from preheat to cooldown in as few as 10 minutes. With a unique platen design creating a flat splice and consistent heating profile, the splice easily flows under diverters reducing the opportunity for catastrophic splice failure, which keeps belts running longer.
Novitool® Pun MTM Mobile Finger Punch
The Novitool® Pun MTM Mobile Finger Punch can be used at the conveyor site and does not require electrical power, accelerating splice preparation to save downtime. Its precision finger cutting boards ensure fingers are cut perfectly each time. No hammers or punches are required, adding an extra element of safety.
Smart Clamps
Flexco Smart Clamps are the safest and fastest method for securing conveyor belts while installing belt splices on the conveyor. A simple tap of the wedge strike plate instantly locks the clamp to the belt. There are no bolts to tighten, check, and then loosen after use. With Smart Clamps, when you are finished securing the belt, a simple tap on the pull loop disengages the wedge allowing for quick removal of the clamp.
Clipper® 845LD Belt Cutter
The Clipper® 845LD Belt Cutter provides a fast and accurate cut in a single pass, utilizing a fully enclosed blade during cutting operations for a safe cut. A straight cut helps ensure the belt will track straight. Its bi-directional blade design and dual-drive shafts allow the operator to cut the belt while working from either end of the belt cutter.
Laser Belt Square
The Flexco Laser Belt Square can be used to quickly produce an accurate line for marking and cutting. Splicing a belt that is not properly squared can lead to belt tracking issues and an increase in unscheduled conveyor downtime.
