Flexco will be presenting its new FXC Steel Cord Belt Fastening System. The FXC can act as either a temporary splice until a vulcanized splice is installed or it can pull a belt onto a conveyor
system. “A major issue that heavy-duty sites often deal with is reacting to unplanned downtime,” said Franklin Moore, Flexco product manager, in a July 10 press release. “The FXC allows users
to get their steel cord belts back into operation quickly, drastically reducing the effects of downtime, which helps increase the site’s bottom line.” The company stated that even though this product is meant to serve as a temporary solution, operators can expect full performance at normal levels until vulcanization is arranged, allowing operations to continue. In addition to the FXC, the company will also be exhibiting its 900 Series Belt Cutter/Skiver for the first time, which will be released soon and includes updated clamp knobs, a drive handle with both manual and powered drill capabilities, and a new design.
