Alligator® Rivet
The Alligator® Rivet Fastening System is specially designed for the abusive round hay baling application, simplifying belt maintenance and increasing uptime.
The Alligator® Rivet Fastener system uses the self-setting rivet technology that Flexco developed for the underground mining market. The patented rivets work between the carcass fibers, without severing them, leaving the entire belt carcass intact. The fasteners and rivets of this system are constructed from durable, abrasion resistant stainless steel for long life.
Because the rivets are self-setting, fasteners are installed quickly from the top side of the belt. Rivets are driven through the fastener plates and the belt, passing between the carcass fibers. The specially shaped head of each pilot nail works in conjunction with the application tool’s anvil plate to set the rivets.
