Description
Strong, Durable Belt Splices for Heavy-Duty Applications
The SEC Business Group Plategrip™ Solid Plate Fastener System provides a strong and durable mechanical splice designed for demanding conveyor belt applications. As a compression fastener, Plategrip™ delivers excellent splice strength and long-term reliability.
Because Plategrip™ fasteners do not use a hinge pin, they create a shift-free splice, making them ideal not only for belt joining but also for belt rip repairs where a strong and stable connection is required.
Enhanced Holding Power and Reliable Operation
The traditional Plategrip™ tooth design overlaps the edges of the plates, providing additional holding power, particularly on thinner belts.
This design allows the fastener to grip the belt carcass securely while maintaining smooth belt operation.
Plategrip™ fasteners pass smoothly over conveyor pulleys, trippers, belt cleaners, and scrapers while still allowing the belt to trough naturally during operation.
Reliable Performance Across Conveyor Systems
Plategrip™ fasteners perform reliably when operating over crowned pulleys and take-up pulleys, ensuring consistent conveyor performance in demanding
materials handling environments.
Each bucket of solid plate fasteners is supplied with pre-assembled bolts and bottom plates using a patented fastening system that simplifies installation and improves splice reliability.
Patented Installation System
The fastening system incorporates a special thin metal washer that clinches the bolt to the bottom plate during installation. This design
has proven to be superior to plastic or nylon washers, which can slide along bolt threads and reduce installation reliability.
Material Options
Steel – Plategrip™ Solid Plate Fasteners
Steel is the most common and economical fastener material, making it suitable for the majority of conveyor belt applications. Steel Plategrip™ fasteners are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes and can be used for both new installations and replacement splicing.
Durgard – Plategrip™ Solid Plate Fasteners
Durgard is a specially heat-treated steel designed for high-abrasion environments. It offers significantly longer service life compared to standard steel fasteners and is best suited for abrasive applications. However, it is not recommended for highly corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel – Plategrip™ Solid Plate Fasteners
Stainless steel Plategrip™ fasteners are ideal for applications where corrosion, chemicals, or moisture exposure are a concern. Stainless
steel provides improved resistance to abrasion, acids, chemicals, and magnetic attraction. Fasteners are available as complete
FRAS Insertion Rubber Sheet
Fire-resistant and anti-static reinforced rubber sheet designed for underground mining, conveyor curtains, sealing, and high-risk industrial applications.
Reinforced Safety Performance
Reinforced with 3-ply PN160 nylon fabric for enhanced tear strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability under load.
Supply and Support
Supplied by SEC Business Group for mining, industrial safety, and custom rubber fabrication applications.
