Flexco products, distributed by IBT, set the industry's highest standards for design, ease-of-use and reliability. Their products are developed hand in hand with conveyor belting. Newer synthetic belting fabrics are leading to increasing preference for mechanical fastener solutions for belt tensions up to 800 PIW (140 kN/m). Demands for industry productivity are reaching new highs, creating the need to maximize up-time. For many plant managers, waiting several hours for a vulcanizing crew to put a belt back together is not an option.

Now, the availability to accommodate higher tension ratings combines with the speed and simplicity of mechanical fastener installation. That means mechanical fasteners have become the standard wherever fast, dependable and economical belt repairs help companies maintain top productivity.

In addition to mechanical fasteners, Flexco is also the source for a complete family of belt cleaners, belt trainers, lagging, skirt clamps, cleats, tools and other accessories to maximize productivity and performance up and down the conveyor line.
