The hinged splice allows for users to remove the hinge pin for easy belt cleaning or installation onto the conveyor system with minimal dismantling. The features of the Alligator Plastic Rivet system make it a low-cost alternative to the time and expense associated with vulcanization. Key features of the Alligator Plastic Rivet fastener include rivets molded into the top plate for a smooth and flat cleaning surface, beveled front edge of fastener for easy transition over conveyor components, and countersunk installed rivets. With three color choices available, select the fastener that best fits your needs for applications from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C). Black: UV-resistant for extended life in outdoor applications. White: FDA-accepted material resists weak acids, alkali, hydrocarbons, ester solvents, and alcohols. Blue: FDA-accepted material with the same resistance as the white offering but colored blue to match blue belts used in many food applications. Alligator® Plastic Rivet Fastener Selection Chart
