ALLIGATOR READY SET STAPLE LACING

Alligator Staple lacing is a hinged fastener splice designed for relatively thin belting used on light and medium duty, troughed or flat bed conveyors. Used for package and baggage handling, cased goods, food, wood and agricultural applications. The smooth and low fastener profile facilitates operation with diverters and shears. With the new Ready Set staple system, an extended plate design seperates the point of staple penetration from the line of belt flexing, thus eliminating splice fatiguing that results from sawing action at the point of attachment. Staples work between carcass fibers without severing them. Since the staples are pre-inserted into each fasterner’s top plate, you always have the correct size and quantity of staples with you.

 

Installation is quick and easy with the new Ready Set since it eliminates staple insertion. The RS tools come complete with drive blocks and a driver and are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate a wide range of belt widths. Simply fit the fastener strips onto your belt ends and secure them in the specially designed guide blocks. Tools can be moved rapidly along the belt as staples are installed.

How to specify the correct lacing:

 

  • Determine your belt tension.
    Most conveyor belting has a mechanical fastener rating. The fastener sizes listed in the chart below are for use on belts not in excess of the ratings shown.Care should be taken to not operate the belting or fasteners beyond their recommended ratings.
  • Measure your belt thickness.
    If a portion of the belt cover is to be removed to “recess” the lacing, measure the belt thickness after the cover has been skived. Choose a lacing size that corresponds to your belt thickness from the chart below.
  • Measure the diameter of the smallest pulley.
    Note minimum pulley diameters shown for various sizes of lacing from the chart below.
  • Identify the correct lacing:
    Find the lacing size that best fits your specifications in the chart below.
