Introduction
New Flexco BR6 for Higher Tension Applications with Smaller Pulley Diameters
The new Flexco BR6 fastener is an addition to our Rivet Solid Plate fastening system. Ideal for pulley diameters as small as 14” (350 mm), the 6-rivet configuration provides a staggered, multiple-point rivet attachment to allow rivets to pass between carcass fibers without severing them for maximum resistance to pull-out. Plus the patented
Scalloped EdgeTM provides for a lower fastener profile to extend belt splice life and reduce exposure to belt cleaner blades and other conveyor components.
Flexco BR6 Rivet Solid Plate Fasteners provide all the features of our existing line plus these added features:
• For use with pulley diameters as small as 14” (350 mm) with operating tensions at 75 to 100% of belt tension ratings.
• For use in applications with tension ranges up to 400 PIW (70 kN/m), or greater, depending on the application.
• Flexco BR6 can be used with traditional plied belt as well as with straight warp belting.
• Ideal for applications where a sift-free splice is needed.
• Offered in steel, stainless steel, and MegAlloy for superior resistance to wear and abrasion.
• Compatible with troughed belts with 20 degree and 35 degree troughing idlers.
• BR6 Rivet Plate can be used
