ALLIGATOR® PLASTIC RIVET FASTENING SYSTEM
The Alligator
® Plastic Rivet Fastening System produces a non-scratching, non-magnetic, quiet mechanically-applied splice that can be easily dismantled for installation, cleaning, and sanitation.
WHY PLASTIC RIVET?
- Mechanical fastener rating from 40 to 65 PIW (7 to 11 kN/m)
- Belts from 1/32” to 1/8” (0.8 mm to 3.2 mm)
- Pulley diameters from 1.5” to 3” (38 mm to 75 mm)
- Beveled leading edges allow for smooth interface with conveyor components
- Produces a robust and abrasion-resistant splice
- UV-resistant black plastic for outdoor applications
- FDA-accepted white plastic
- Blue plastic for use with blue colored belting used in the food industry
- One-piece, easy-to-clean design with rivets molded into the top plate
- Spin-set installation through heat and friction provides a long-lasting splice.
