This belt has clinched edges. The connecting rods are curved back to grab the picket, draw it out to its fullest extension, and lock it securely in place. There is never any necking-down. Also, the clinched rods form a protective wear bar along the sides of the belt for strength and to discourage damage.

This welded-edge belt is suffering from necking-down, which occurs when the pickets compress on their rods, causing the rods to protrude along the edge. The belt was twisted out of shape when the protruding rods snagged along the edge of the conveyor.

PacTite® Flat Wire Belts & Sprockets

Improved tracking
Better product stability
Clinched edges

Our Flat Wire belts track better because of the patented PacTite^® design – they are made with no gaps between the pickets. There is no product tippage, vibration, sprocket jumping or adjustment shimmy. With the PacTite design, it’s impossible for parallelogramming to occur.

Unlike other Flat Wire belts, our standard-duty belts are made with 11-gauge rods, while our heavy-duty belts are made with 6-gauge rods. They are available also in modified 1/2″ x 1/2″, true 1/2″ x 1/2″ and can duty styles. Mat picket style belts are available for certain applications that require it.

Clinched edges form a clean, smooth selvage which prevents the belt from necking down and hanging up on the side of the conveyor. Since the belt edge has not been metallurgically altered through the welding process, it is stronger and lasts longer.

Materials

PacTite Flatwire belting is offered in a variety of materials including wear-resistant stainless steel (WRSS), which hardens with use. WRSS delivers superior strength and longevity. Perfect for abrasive applications like rock traps, cement bagging lines, and in insulation plants or when product release from the belting is critical. Also available in high-carbon steel, galvanized, and T316 SS.

PacTite Sprockets

Available in 4″, 6″, 8″ 10″, 12″ and 14″ diameter
Our extensive line of flatwire sprockets are guaranteed to be keyed in line. Our knowledgeable customer experience team members will assist you in choosing the best product for your application.

Machined Steel – Lasts up to five times longer than cast; concentric; precision machined; cut from solid bar stock; flame-hardened and manually deburred; and because they’re keyed on the centerline of the tooth, they’re always matched. Taper lock designs offer easy installation and alignment.

Cast Iron – Our economy line of sprockets.

Self Cleaning Machined Steel – Prevents buildup of product; cleans itself with each revolution; long lasting, and available in stainless and other alloys. We guarantee our precision machined steel and self cleaning sprockets will outperform and outlast your current cast sprockets by 2 times their life, or we will refund the difference in price.

VSHT Investment Cast – Corrosion resistant, harder surface, greater concentricity. Produced in T-316SS.
