We have developed the FSK2MP, a belt skiver that uses an electric drive to remove belt top covers much faster and more easily than conventional devices can do. A skived belt helps extend the life of a manual belt fastener, ensuring compatibility with belt cleaners with a lower profile and creating a more durable splice. With the FSK2MP, Flexco Europe has now developed an innovative solution that makes this process faster and easier than ever. Conventional belt skivers are usually manually operated, which necessitates more strength and time – but this new product makes everyday work much more manageable. Of course, safe handling is also guaranteed, despite the higher speed. Flexco Europe offers the easy-to-use FSK2MP in two sizes: One version is suitable for skiving belts with thicknesses from 6.5 to 32 millimeters, while the other can tackle thicknesses of 22.5 to 44.5 millimeters. The user can easily adjust the belt skiver to cutting depths of 1.5 to 9.5 millimeters, and greater depths are easily achieved with several passes. The fence can also be adapted to match the required belt fastener sizes. The front drive rollers…

Precleaners and secondary cleaners from Flexco Europe save costs for food industry manufacturers in the long term. Everything from bread to pizza dough: Cleaners by Flexco Europe bring more quality to food production Belt conveyors used in the food industry must be spotlessly clean and free of any food debris that may adhere to the return side of the belt.

Carryback at belt conveyors means: loss of valuable product; sacrificing valuable equipment and manpower and compromising employee safety. Carryback can be a common occurrence at heavy-duty belt conveyor operations. But overlook it at your own risk. If the problem continues unchecked, you could be losing valuable product off of the belt. You could be sacrificing valuable equipment and manpower to clean it up. Most significantly, you could be compromising employee safety. Your hidden cost This was the reality for one sand and gravel operation that was routinely faced with carryback and how to address it. Employee time was wasted as two workers and a skid steer were tied up for the majority of each day with the sole task of cleaning carryback from under the belt. The inefficient use of manpower hours that could have been better allocated to other tasks – combined with the loss of product – was having a noticeable impact on the operation’s bottom line. However, the greatest concern was the impact to employee safety. Cleanup efforts were causing repeat injuries for workers, including hand and back…
