LACING
LACING & SPLICING
ENDLESS NON-MECHANICAL SPLICING SOLUTIONS
Endless splicing methods eliminate the need for hardware fasteners. This fabrication technique is
excellent for food processing and applications where products need to be handled with greater care.
STEP SPLICE BELT
For belts with multiple plies. Plies are separated and
“stepped” to interlock with one another at the splice
point. Performed by experts in our fabrication facility
for quality assurance and appropriate curing time.
SKIVED SPLICE
A precision grinding technique is used to achieve uniform
thickness at the splice point for a variety of applications.
FINGER SPLICE
For thermoplastic, urethane and PVC belts. A very
durable splice that maintains a smooth belt surface
throughout the splice area. Multiple finger patterns are
available to meet a variety of applications and system
pulley sizes.
ENDLESS-PREPARED
We square and prepare the belt’s ends in our fabrication
facility for hot or cold cement bonding at the customer’s
site. (Cement bonding kits with instructions are
available.)
DOUBLE FINGER SPLICE
Unlike a standard finger splice, fingers are cut from
multiple plies, staggered, then fused together by heat
and pressure to create a stronger, more flexible splice.
STITCHED REINFORCEMENT
Certain applications put unusual wear on splices and
edges. These areas can be strengthened with stitching.
LONGITUDINAL SPLICING
Very wide belts are created by longitudinally splicing two
or more belts of narrower dimension. Plies are expertly
stepped and bonded in our fabrication facilities to create
a uniformly smooth belt as wide as the application
requires. Ultra-wide belts can be made endless prior
to shipping … or have ends prepared for field splicing.
V-guides and other profiles can also be added.
CUSTOM SPLICING OPTIONS
Hidden Top/Bottom
Hidden Top
Hidden Bottom
Standard
Recessed
Overflap
RECESSED LACE
Mechanical splice area is recessed below the belt
surface.
OVERFLAP
Mechanical lacing is installed below the belt surface
and the top cover is separated from the belt carcass
creating a flap over. The cover flap can be glued down
after installation.
HIDDEN LACE
Mechanical fasteners are installed below the belt
cover to prevent the lace from contacting the product.
FINGER HINGE LACE
Finger hinge lace is equipped with flexible, hinged plastic
lacing, creating an easy, quick repair alternative to endless
belts. FHL requires the belt be made of PVC or polyure-
thane, have a thickness of .08" to .263", have a minimum
belt length of 55", and a maximum belt width of 40".
THERMOPLASTIC HINGE
Thermoplastic hinge lace is made with the same
homogeneous material as your belt. This lace is welded to
the belt and connected with a metal or nylon pin. Nylon
pins should be used when metal detectors are required.
(This option is available for Volta products only.)
