TEFLON® FABRIC BELTING: GENERAL FEATURES
ALLIGATOR SPLICE
An exceptionally strong metal splice which fastens mechanically and is very flexible. Splice components are locked into reinforced belt ends which are then meshed and joined by a pin.
EDGE REINFORCEMENT
.005" or .010" Fabric
Teflon® coated fiberglass fabric attached to belt edge. Can be applied to both edges, on top, or top and bottom sides. Can be affixed by heat seal and/or stitching. Protects belt edges from wear, abrasion, and unraveling. Also adds support for belt driving/tracking options. Edging color is natural brown.
OVERLAP SPLICE
A standard splice in which the belt ends are overlapped from 1/2" to 2" and heat sealed together. A double fabric thickness will result. Excellent for most non-thickness-critical applications. Splice can be angled from 22° to 90°, and can be stitched for additional strength.
EDGE REINFORCEMENT
.003" Teflon® Film
Teflon® film is heat sealed to the belt edge. Resulting reinforcement encapsulates the fabric edge. Prevents unraveling and protects edge from wear and abrasion. This edging is available in widths from 1" to 11/2". Edging color is translucent white.
OVERLAP SPLICE
A standard splice in which the belt ends are overlapped from 1/2" to 2" and heat sealed together. A double fabric thickness will result. Excellent for most non-thickness-critical applications. Splice can be angled from 22° to 90°, and can be stitched for additional strength.
BELT GUIDING
Dot Guides (Pins)
Steel dot guides (also called pins) are riveted to one or both reinforced belt edges on standard 11/2" centers. Intended only for tracking purposes, the pins are designed to run through a machined groove in the conveyor roller.
FABRIC FLAP OVER SPLICE
Typically, a Teflon® coated fiberglass fabric flap placed over the splice area. Silicone coated fiberglass also available. Flap is heat sealed and/or stitched to belt. Usually applied to belts with metal splices (alligator/clipper). Protects splice from abrasion and provides a continuous release surface.
BELT GUIDING
Grommets
Brass grommets (also called eyelets) are mechanically inserted in one or both reinforced belt edges on standard 11/2" centers. The use of grommets on a belt also requires a matching sprocket on the conveyor roller. Positive belt driving and tracking can be accomplished by using this guiding system.

All Coated Fiberglass Fabrics listed in this catalog (Teflon®, Silicone) can be fabricated into custom light-to-medium duty industrial belts for conveying, processing, and/or heat sealing. Fabric properties specific to each grade of material apply to the corresponding belting fabric used. Every Lanmar belt is custom designed and fabricated to exact customer specifications. Lanmar belts are widely used in standard and unique made-to-order applications.
