SUPER-SCREW®-1

SUPER-SCREW® Flexible Rubber Fastening System Fast, easy alternative to vulcanization The Super-Screw® Flexible Rubber Fastening System is a unique and innovative solution that acts as an alternative to vulcanization in even the toughest, most demanding applications. The flexible splice screws directly into the belt with great accuracy and precision, offering a solution that is truly like no other. In Any Space, in Any Weather Condition This revolutionary fastening system consists of a top and bottom piece of rubber, reinforced with one or more fabric plies for strength, along with pre-drilled holes that are fastened together with screws and a cordless drill and bit. This creates a strong, yet flexible splice that provides all the benefits of vulcanization without the challenges. With Super-Screw, you can install these flexible splices regardless of the location or accessibility of the conveyor belt and regardless of weather conditions. The Super-Screw Flexible Rubber Fastening System can be used on belts with skived belt thicknesses from 5/32” to 3/4”(4 mm to 19 mm), and pulley diameters as small as 6”. Sizes are available to accommodate PIW ratings up to 1200. Market Applications • Quarries • Cement plants • Crushed rock • Underground and surface mining • Coal • Hard-rock • Wood processing • Industrial minerals

Flexible Rubber Fastening System Fastener Overview How the Super-Screw ® Flexible Rubber Fastening System Works The Super-Screw® Flexible Rubber Fastening System utilizes speciallydesigned self-drilling, self-tapping screws that preserve the integrity of the belt by passing between the carcass threads without cutting them. Super-Screw comes ready to be installed, with assembly spacers already in place, so that the top and bottom covers align correctly. Screws and Pozidrive or “PZ” bits are included for easy installation, without the need for tools beyond a standard powered drill or 1/4” impact...

Fastener Selection Guidelines Specify the Correct Super-Screw® Flexible Rubber Splice The four items needed to order a Super-Screw splice are below. The complete part number will be in this order: “A-B-C-D” A. Determine the belt tension rating and measure the smallest pulley in your system. This determines the series to use. Most conveyor belting has a mechanical fastener rating. Care should be taken not to operate the belting or fasteners beyond their recommended rating. Refer to page 4 for a chart listing the recommended maximum tension for each series. Consider pulleys over which the belt...

Flexible Rubber Fastening System Use the chart below to determine which Super-Screw® fastener series and screw length to use. Additional specifications to consider when selecting your splice type can be found in the chart below. NOTE: Screw length is not equal to thickness after skive. The screws are longer to go through the top strip, belt, and bottom strip. See Fig. 1 35-105 Series use 5mm diameter screws. 180-200 Series use 6mm diameter screws. * Top (or top and bottom) cover of belt must be skived to this thickness for screws to engage ** This is the "thickness after skive" for letter "B"...
