Alligator® Staple Fastening System

The Alligator® Staple Fastening System is ideal for a wide variety of light- and medium-duty fastener applications. The system features one-piece fastener strips with pre inserted staples that speed installation and keep downtime to a minimum.

Why Staple?

  • Mechanical fastener rating up to 200 PIW (35 kN/m)
  • Belts from 1/16” to 1/4” (1.5 mm to 6.4 mm) thick
  • Pulley diameters from 2” to 4” (50 mm to 102 mm)
  • Produces an abrasion-resistant splice
  • Beveled edges and recessed staple pockets deliver a low-profile splice that is belt component compatible
  • Available in steel, stainless steel, MegAlloy®, and magnetic stainless
  • Quick and easy installation

Installation Method

  • Portable tooling
  • Hand installation 
  • Fasteners

How Alligator® Staple Fasteners WorkAlligator Staple

Designed for light and medium duty synthetic carcass belting, the Alligator® Staple fastener utilizes high tensile, stainless steel staple attachment, in conjuction with an extended plate design. This design separates the point of fastener penetration from the line of belt flexing to eliminate splice fatigue at the point of belt attachment.

Staple fasteners are furnished in strips with a bridge between each fastener plate. This strip design minimizes the chance of individual parts dislodging into the conveyed product. The one-piece design provides a stronger splice, greater resistance to impact damage, and a smoother, unrippled joint that simplifies hinge pin insertion. Staples are hammer driven through the fastener and belt, working between the carcass fibers without severing them. The staples are then clinched crosswise to the belt, so that belt tension does not pull against the staples to unclinch them.
