The double-staggered grip pattern gives wire hooks exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity of the belt carcass. Today’s splices also have a very low profile, making them increasingly more compatible with conveyor components and compliant with the need for reduced operating noise. The uni-bar is formed by welding each Clipper hook to a common bar. The welded bar creates a stable strip to eliminate damage during handling. A flat, finished splice eliminates belt “wave”, and can easily be cut to the appropriate length. The risk of single hook disengaging is significantly reduced particularly important in the food industry.
