Airport  Baggage  Handling  Market
  Airports use conveyor belts in a variety of
  ways to sort baggage and transport it to the
  final destination. In order to ensure baggage
  arrives with the passenger, it is important that
  the conveyor system is running optimally.
  Flexco, the world leader in belt fastening
  technology, offers a variety of belt fasteners
  to meet the demanding needs of the airport
  industry. Careful selection, installation, and
  preventative maintenance can significantly
  reduce belt splice costs and downtime.
   Mechanical Fasteners
Offer  Advantages
                                                      The growing trend in the international airport market is the shift away from
 Over Vulcanization:
                                                      vulcanized splices toward the greater operating efficiencies achieved with
                                                      mechanical belt fasteners. Not only is the mechanical belt splice less expensive
                                                      than a vulcanized splice, it can also save significant downtime costs.
                                                      Faster.
                                                      Quick Installation - A reliable belt splice can be installed in approximately 20
                                                      minutes. Vulcanized splices can take hours or days. Quicker installation means
                                                      less downtime and greater productivity.
                                                      Easier.
                                                      Simple Installation - It is impossible to claim that vulcanization offers any
                                                      advantage over mechanical fasteners in terms of easy installation. Mechanical
                                                      fasteners can be installed on-site and typically require only one installer with
                                                      basic technical skills and simple installation tools. Vulcanization is a long,
                                                      involved process that often requires trained outside contractors who may have
                                                      to do the job off-site.
                                                      Smarter.
                                                      Proactive Maintenance - Because a mechanical splice is visible, any wear or
                                                      deterioration is immediately apparent. Replacement or repairs can be scheduled
                                                      during brief periods of downtime or at the end of a shift. A deteriorating
                                                      vulcanized splice, in comparison, is not easily detected. Catastrophic line failure
                                                      can be the first indication of trouble once adhesion breakdown occurs inside
                                                      a vulcanized splice.
