Description

Product Overview

The Flexco RS187J16/400NC Alligator Ready Set Staple Fastener is engineered to provide a seamless, durable splice for conveyor belts used in light to medium‑duty industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade steel and reinforced with nylon hinge pins, each fastener strip incorporates pre‑inserted staples that lock into the belt material, creating a secure, long‑lasting joint. The kit includes four fastener pieces, four nylon hinge pins, and twenty retaining washers (ten additional 187‑RET washers) to accommodate a variety of belt widths and thicknesses. Designed for quick installation, the fastener strip eliminates the need for separate staple loading, reducing labor time and potential errors. The product meets Flexco’s rigorous quality standards and complies with industry specifications for conveyor belt splicing, ensuring reliable performance under continuous operation.

Usage

This fastener system is ideal for manufacturers, material handling facilities, and distribution centers that rely on conveyor belts to move products efficiently. It excels in applications such as packaging lines, assembly lines, and bulk material transport where belt downtime directly impacts productivity. The fastener’s all‑igator design allows for easy alignment and tension adjustment, making it suitable for belts ranging from 2 inches to 12 inches in width. Installation can be performed by trained maintenance personnel using standard hand tools; no specialized equipment is required. The included nylon hinge pins provide flexibility, allowing the belt to flex smoothly over rollers and pulleys while maintaining splice integrity.
