What Type of Conveyor Belt Lacing Do I Need?
A farmer once called us with a conveyor belt that was still in good shape, but the splice had failed. The belt did not need to be replaced, it needed the right lacing.
The key question: what type of conveyor belt lacing fits the application?
Conveyor belt lacing connects the belt ends together. The right style depends on belt thickness, pulley diameter, load, speed, and the material being conveyed. At MDS of Michigan, we proudly stock thousands of Flexco conveyor belt parts, including lacing, fasteners, tools, and repair products. As one of the largest Flexco belt fastener sellers in the Midwest, we can help you find the right lacing for your belt and application.
Common Conveyor Belt Lacing Options
Clipper Lacing
Low-profile and flexible. Often used on lighter-duty belts and smaller pulley diameters.
Alligator Lacing
Easy to install and commonly used for package handling, parts conveyors, and general belt repair.
Bolt Solid Plate
Designed for heavy-duty belts, higher loads, and tougher conveyor environments.
Quick tip: The wrong lacing can fail early, damage pulleys, or create a weak splice point.
