Shutting down your belt to make a belt splice cuts into your productivity. And while vulcanizing can get the job done, it’s a time-consuming process that often requires the help of an off-site professional. By opting for mechanical belt fasteners, you can quickly and easily create a strong, durable splice –– using your on-site crew. Our wide array of mechanical fastening systems can help you maximize your uptime and keep output high.
