The New Clipper® Roller Lacer® Gold Class™ By Flexco
01 June 2006
Faster, simpler lacer installation of wire hooks has been made possible with the introduction of a new roller lacer from the Flexible Steel Lacing Company. Designated the Clipper® Roller Lacer® Gold Class™, this versatile portable tool is designed for fast, easy lacer installation. Operator fatigue is significantly reduced and downtime is minimized without sacrificing precision.
The portable easy-to-use Gold Class Roller Lacer handles wide belts in one simple operation. It can be driven by a cordless drill (18V or higher) or operated manually with a handle or ratchet in emergency situations. The new Clipper Roller Lacer Gold Class is approximately 12in (300 mm) longer than the standard roller lacer, which allows for extra stability when placing the lacer up on sidewall pans for on-site installation. Available in widths of 24in, 36in, 48in and 60in (600mm, 900mm, 1200mm and 1,500 mm), the tool features a special shelf that supports the belt and guides it into the hook points during installation. The belt shelf can be easily moved from an operating to a loading position for fast insertion of hooks, and an improved belt clamp provides greater holding force for the belt
The newly designed face strip eliminates the need for a locking lever and back-up extrusions, reducing component wear and enhancing tool durability. Face strip storage slots enable the user to easily slide the face strip into the tool.
The introduction of the Clipper Roller Lacer Gold Class expands Flexco's line of portable belt maintenance tools for efficient, economical repairs, and productive conveyor belt operation. The line also includes belt cutters, skivers, clamps and lifts.
