Rivet
Fastener system uses the
self-setting rivet technology
that Flexco developed for
the underground mining
market. The patented rivets work between the carcass
fibers, without severing them, leaving the entire belt
carcass intact. The fasteners and rivets of this system
are constructed from durable, abrasion-resistant
stainless steel for long life.
Because the rivets are self-setting, fasteners are
installed quickly from the top side of the belt. Rivets are
driven through the fastener plates and the belt, passing
between the carcass fibers. The specially-shaped
head of each pilot nail works in conjunction with the
application tool’s anvil plate to set the rivets.
