Flexco recently announced the addition of the FXC Steel Cord Belt Fastening System to its line of heavy-duty mechanical belt fastening systems. When an operation needs to reduce downtime from a damaged belt, the FXC can provide an immediate solution as a temporary splice or to pull a belt onto the conveyor system.
“The FXC Steel Cord Belt Fastening System is an excellent solution for heavy-duty operations,” said Flexco Product Manager Franklin Moore. “When a belt conveyor system goes down, the FXC allows teams to get back up and running in a fraction of the time it takes to wait for a permanent solution. Additionally, the FXC allows workers to pull a belt onto the conveyor system in a more efficient manner. Overall, this system was engineered to put time and money back into the pockets of our heavy-duty customers.”
Although the FXC Steel Cord Belt Fastening System is designed to be a temporary solution, users can expect full performance at normal levels to fill stockpiles and continue operations while vulcanization is scheduled. It can even be pre-spliced to belt ends ahead of a belt pull, making stringing a belt onto the system even faster.
The patented fastener design has undergone extensive internal and field testing, noted the manufacturer, to ensure strong performance in the most demanding environments.
