Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastening System

The Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastening System is engineered for tough, high-tension conveyor applications where belts experience frequent impact, heavy loads, or abrasive conditions. Its robust, hinged design allows the belt to flex around pulleys and troughing idlers while maintaining a secure, long-lasting splice.

Bolts pass through the belt to provide a solid, mechanical connection that won’t slip or pull out, even under extreme tension. The system’s flexibility makes it ideal for belts that require frequent maintenance, cleaning, or length adjustments. With proven durability and simple installation, the Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastening System helps keep operations running efficiently, minimizing costly downtime.

High Strength Rating: Handles loads from 190 to 300 PIW (33–52 kN/m), providing exceptional splice strength for heavy-duty conveyor applications.
Belt Compatibility: Suitable for belts 1/4” to 5/8” (6 mm to 16 mm) thick, making it ideal for tough, high-tension operations.
Pulley Range: Designed for pulley diameters from 6” to 9” (150 mm to 225 mm), ensuring smooth flexing and long-lasting splice performance.
Hinged Design: The bolt-hinged construction allows for belt flexibility and quick maintenance. Perfect for systems using smaller pulleys or mechanical take-ups.
Quick Separation: The splice can be easily separated by removing the hinge pin, simplifying belt cleaning, repair, or replacement.
Secure Grip: Specially formed teeth penetrate the belt carcass to maximize holding strength without damaging internal fibers.
Easy Installation: Piloted bolts guide each fastener into place for fast, accurate assembly, reducing setup time in the field.
Accurate Alignment: A curved templet ensures precise bolt-hole placement and even tension across the entire belt width, promoting longer splice life.
Durable Construction: Built to perform under impact, abrasion, and harsh environments, maintaining reliable splice integrity over time.

Specifications

Common Industries That Use This Product

Mining

In mining and quarry operations, the Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastening System provides rugged reliability for belts moving heavy, abrasive materials such as ore, stone, and gravel. Its solid mechanical fastening holds up under extreme tension and impact, reducing the risk of splice failure. The hinged design allows quick belt maintenance without disassembling the conveyor structure. This helps miners maintain productivity and minimize downtime in demanding environments.

Aggregate & Cement Production

For aggregate and cement plants, this system offers superior strength and resistance to wear caused by fine, abrasive particles. Its durable bolts and plates maintain consistent tension across the splice, even under constant load. The hinged joint allows the belt to flex easily around pulleys and curves. This balance of strength and flexibility keeps material flow steady through crushers, mixers, and transfer points.

Forestry & Lumber Processing

In sawmills and wood-processing facilities, conveyors equipped with the Flexco® Bolt Hinged System move logs, bark, and wood chips through various stages of production. The fasteners’ rugged build endures the shock loads and debris typical of these operations. Its easy installation and hinge-pin removal allow quick maintenance between shifts. The result is smoother belt operation, less downtime, and longer splice life in demanding environments.

Steel & Metal Processing

In steel mills and metal fabrication plants, conveyors often operate under high heat and heavy impact conditions. The Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastening System provides a secure, heat-resistant splice that stands up to hot, abrasive materials like scrap, billets, and metal dust. Its strong mechanical grip prevents slippage even under continuous vibration and load stress. Maintenance teams rely on its easy pin removal to quickly separate or rejoin belts during equipment servicing.
